In less than two years service therewas evidence of abrasion and compression on the oak ties under the Dayton RubberCompanys raised rubber insert pads in sections 44 and 45. No other pads have abradedoak ties, except the hard J-M asbestos-rubber pads in section 25 (Fig. 10). Becausesome compression of the springwood of creosoted pine ties was found under the 1947Bird fabric and Fabco pads, it seems particularly desirable to use sealed pads in orderto keep out the sand and water to avoid a more rapid rate of abrasion of the softwoodties. In November 1951 the J-M rubber composition pads were substituted for the J-Mrubber-vegetable and asbestos fiber pads on the south 22 ties of section 39. At the timeof installation the rubber composition pads gave little trouble from splitting at theanchor spikes. However, af
