Concrete-Base Track on Steam Road Northern Pacific Railway Has Short ExperimentalSection of Slab Construction Very Similar toThat Used by Electric Lines THE use of reinforced concrete ballast for main-linesteam road track construction in the open countryupon private right-of-way is a radical departure fromaccepted standards of steam road track , it is interesting to electric railway trackengineers because of the extended use of this construc-tion for electric railway tracks. An experimental stretchof double track 2000 ft. long on the Northern Pacific. NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILWAY IS EXPERIMENTING WITH CONCRETE-SLAB ROADBED DESIGNS to be obtained from a system of fares that will be mostpleasing to the great majority of the patrons. In discussing the requirements of the electric rail-ways, the greatest emphasis should be put upon the re-quirements of public co-operation. The electric railwayproblem is no longer merely one of transportation. Itis a state and community problem.

The companydepends upon the public for successful operation. Boardsof trade, business mens associations, municipal bodies, Railway, using the types of concrete ballast constructionshown in the accompanying illustrations, has been undertest for more than four years with gratifying experiment was reported upon briefly by the com-mittee on ties of the American R
