An English Girder Tram Rail. We think that we are justified in sayingthat there is a strong tendency towards in-sisting on greater and greater verticalstrength in rails for regular steam roadsand for tramways. The strap rail has given place to thebull-head and the T or Vignolles section; and both the Philadelphia and the. centre-bearing tram rails are graduallygetting combined with iron girders to re-place the separate wooden stringer. Weshow herewith a section which is meetingwith favor in England. As will be seen, ithas the deep web and broad flange desira-ble to give vertical stiffness with compara-tive lightness and all requisite lateral stiff-ness; and at the same time its head, whichis in section a compound of the Philadel-phia and the centre-bearing types, adds tothe vertical and lateral stiffness and to thewearing qualities.
