Rails TO he Sixty Feet Instead of
Thirty,

From the Easton Daily Argus we learn
that tue Philadelphia and Reading railroad
company will begin at once to manufac-
ture rails sixty feet in length in
stead OF thirty feet in length as
heretofore. The rails will also be in
creased in weight from sixty-eight to sew
enty pounds per yard. The decreased
number of points to care for will lessen ex-
penses. In alluding to the increase in
weight passing over the rails it was stated
that the weight of a passenger car has
been increased from twenty-five thousand
TO forty-five thousand pounds, and that
the parlor cars now used weigh seventy,
five thousand. The weight of the freight
and coal cars has been so far increased a,
to more than double their former carrying
capacity, while the weights OF locomotives
have been increased in proportion, The
company has arranged for the manufac
ture OF quantity of these sixty foot rails
at once, and the best railroad experts il
the country predict the most satisfactor,
! results from them.
