Tracklaying by machine with treated ties. It isdifficult to lay track with a track laying machinewhen treated ties are used. A report on this work byE. E. Roos, Superintendent of Track on the Pecos &Northern Texas Ry., states that in using ties rightfrom the treating plant, the dripping oil made them. Fig. 3. View of Brown Rail Loader Ready for Operation slip badly when carried forward on the rails. As thecarrier for the ties is above the carrier for the railsthe oil dripping on the rails gets them in a greasy con-dition, making it hard for the machine to grip therails and frequently breaking the driving chain. Cost of track laying with a track large job of track laying is described in the April1, 1914, issue of Engineering and Contracting, as fol-lows: Every device or appliance which would helpalong the work was furnished. Tools and machinerywere maintained at top efficiency through frequent ex-pert attention. Years of experience have developed aconstruction organization of enviable efficiency. It isnot surprising, therefore, that the costs appear ex-ceedingly low, as compared with track laying by rail-way company forces. The costs given do not include CONSTRUCTION 21 unloading: the material in the ma
