Bamberger President and General Manager Bamberger Electric Lake City, Utah IN THE SPRING of 1915 the Salt Lake TerminalCompany, under the direction of the writer, made aninstallation of concrete track, consisting primarily of7-in. 80-lb. T-rails, Pennsylvania Section No. 227, andInternational Steel Tie Companys box-girder ties, 32 all, spaced 5 ft. on centers. Two classes of con-crete were used, top concrete laid to a depth of 2i a screen of American Steel & Wire Company meshNo. 7, and the foundation concrete was 6 in., with abeam under each rail varying from 8 in. to 11 in., in. CUTTING OUT CONCRETE AT SALT LAKE CITY, PREPARA-TORY TO INSTALLING SPUR accordance with subsoil conditions. Nose and plainblocks of sandstone were laid alongside each rail, anda drain tile was laid in cinders between the two tracks,so as to keep the entire subsoil in good details and photographs of this type of con-struction were given in an article by the writer in theJan. 23, 1915, issue of this paper, page 189.

The accompanying photographswill give some idea as to methods employed in this newinstallation.

Theconcrete wearing surface was in perfect condition
