Track Cleaning Device.

A new track cleaning device is being
experimental with by street car com.
panies hereabouts, and while the princi~
pal lines here-the Moline s. Rock Island
and Rock Island & Milan-manage to
get away with the snow pretty effectively,
this arrangement might be used with
great advantage. 1t consists of levers
and bare which connects with a steel
brush just in front of each fore wheel.
The brush is about four by six inches and
very substantial. By lever near the
break of the car the driver can 10 wer
or raise the brushes at will, thus placing
the cleaning Apparatus under the instant
control of the driver, without leaving the
platform or even dropping the reins.
When the brushes are dropped down to
the rail, all dust, dirt. mud or snow are
swept from the track and the flange of
the wheel meets absolutely no incum
brance whatever, and produces the
lightest possible draft and smoothness 10
the running of the car. 1t will, of course
follow that this will aid materially in
keeping the track in fine condition. to
say nothing of the increased pleasure in
riding in the cars. This track cleaning
device does its work so effectually that
there is no necessity of calling snow
pl0ws into requisitiou in snow storms
until the snow gets over three or four
inches in depth, this also proving econo-
mical in that direction.
