The invention consists in so constructing rails for railways, that the wheels of the locomotive engines may run on wood, and the wheels of the railway carriages may run on metal, as shown in the annexed figure; 'a is a rail of wood armed with iron i, on the inner edge, c the wheel of a locomotive, and d the wheel of a car- riage. The wheels of the locomotive en- gine being thus removed from off the metal rail will not be so liable to slip, particularly in damp weather, as has been heretofore the case, when the locomotive engines and railvvay carriages of the train all run on the aame metal rails.
