The anchors, as above described, were installed inother sections at intervals of approximately 1000 ft. Bothtypes of anchors have stood service conditions in a fairly satis-factory manner, although in some instances the mica strains have been brought on the system through transference of freightexcept in the case of a few hopper coal cars. While the latterwould clear the rail itself they would interfere with the pro-tection board.
