Open Pit Construction in Fremont, Ohio,Repair Shop The particular form of open pit construction whichhas been found very satisfactory in the repair shop ofthe Lake Shore Electric Railway at Fremont, Ohio,is shown in the accompanying photograph. In thisconstruction the rails are mounted on 12-in. I-beams. VIEW IN GENERAL REPAIR SHOP, LAKE SHORE ELECTRIC.,RAILWAY. FREMONT, OHIO . > I supported on concrete posts, space about 5 ft. apartBetween tracks and at every other post is a concrete !beam which serves to prevent spreading of the railand at the same time to support the concrete runway does not come clear up to the outsideof the rails, but an open space about 2 ft. wide is lefton each side of the track to permit workmen to reach*the outside of the track without stooping. This type ofopen pit construction also makes it easy to enter the pits .when the tracks are occupied by cars and also makes ad-justments to the outside of trucks more easy to carryout, than with closed pits. Incidentally, this picture shows a telescopic pit jackin extended position, which was in the local machineshop of the company. ■ ■ . < November 23, 1918 Electric Railway Journal 931 Letters to the Editors Cleveland Plan Better than MunicipalOwnership Cleveland Rail
