It frequently happens thattrack is to be laid at points almost in-accessible to teams hauling ties.

The expense is not merely dueto cost of actual operation, but to theinevitable idleness and delay use of tie teams is objectionable onaccount of the injury to the roadbed. Inrespect to the rails, it can scarcely bedoubted that the ordinary methods areunequal to delivery of them where andwhen wanted, at a sufficiently low figure. At any rate, tracklaying apparatus has,during recent years, been coming intofavor with the railroads. There are nowfive or six styles of apparatus in use. The fundamental idea underlying thedesign of tracklaying machines is that of
