. Building a railroad; a handbook devoted to a new, speedy and economical method of performing every operation from grading right-of-way to ballasting and maintaining track . Lifting Pile Into Position General Remarks The usual method inpile driving is to mountthe machine on a flat carheaded into the work, spot-ting the car with a locomo-tive as the bridge iscompleted and the tracklaid. Flat cars back of themachine car carry the pil-ing, caps, stringers andtrack material. A plan followed bymany operators is to putthe machine down on gradeline on the surface trackin starting the bridge, bringing the caps, stringers and other material down to machine on larry cars. Use two 12 to 15 ft. sections of wide gauge portable track with ties spiked on. The sections are raised with the line from pull-back drum, the track section strad-dling the leads when it is transferred. Lay stringers on caps over the bent just completed, and when machine travels out on-to same e\erything is clear for the next bent. In this manner bents f1 can be driven with an approximate maximum distance of 15 ft. from Hard at n. 41 Building a Railroad
