The Sunbury American thus describes the man
ner in which the iron rail- for railroads is manufactured
at the Montour Works at Danvi.lc, Pennsylvania:
In order to make the I rail the rolled through
OF rollers into heavy flat bars about three inches
in width aud three fourths ot inch Ia thickness
These bars are then INTO pieces something less than
three feet in length. number of the pieces probably
ID or 80 then placed together making square bun
die or iaggot, weighing nearly four hundred pounds.
This iaggot then placed into OF the furnaces and
brought 10 a white heat when It is drawn a small
iron hand cart and conveyed the rollers The great
weight and intense heat of such heavy requires
considerable skill well strength in passing houg Oh
the rollers The bar it passes through is caught and
supported by iron levers fastened 10 chains that
pended pullies from above. The bar first passes
through the square grooves OF the rollers three or four
times, before Is run through the different grooves that
gradually bring il the form OF the edge l. rail,
seen upon our railroads Through tue last grooves il
passes or before II is completed Il then
placed on n small railway carriage track IL feet
wide and hauled up about twenty feet when the rHi
comes with circular saws OF which Is
placed on each side OF the railway These revOlve
with great rapidly and the moment the rail- still red hot
reaches them. the red, sparkling IRON saw dust is scat
at each end exactly Is feet long apparently easily
if they were made of tough hickory wood The raj Is
then dragged TO the pile and left 10 cool perfectly finish
ed The rails we saw made were intended for the Har
risburg and Lancaster road and weighed fifty pounds
to the yard or something than three hundred
pounds each These said to be the hrst rails
made with anthracite iron in this or any other county,
and are believe superior to any that have been
imported.
