STOPPING TRAINS ON GRADES.
Useful Contrivance In Vso in Railway
Yards at Dresden, Saxony.

CSeIul COnCrlVance IN gS0 IN hallway
Yards at Dresden, Saxony.
A number of accounts have recently
appeared in American papers concern
ing so-called sand track in use at the
railway yard in Dresden for stopping
cars on a down-grade track when they
were in danger Of getting beyond con.
troll. A German correspondent sends
an account of this novel track, which
shows that the earlier descriptions did
not explain the striking features of the
device. The yard at Dresden is about
q mile and q half long, and has uni
form slope from one end to the other
of one foot in one hundred feet, This
grade enables all the switching of the
cars in making up trains to be done by
gravity, and it appears that the sand
track is used not only in emergencies
but in everyday work for the purpose
of slackening the speed of cars on ap-
preaching the switch track to which
they are destined. The construction Of
the track is very simple. Stringers are
spiked to the ties parallel with the rails,
so as 10 inclose the latter in @ kind Of
trough, which is filled with sand, the
depth of sand above the top of the rail
being regulated according to the speed
of the cars to be stopped. The sand
tracks and the regular tracks are inter
laced and the cars are switched from
the second to the first whenever the
hand brakes on them appear insufficient
to stop them at the point needed. On a
gravity track of grade like that in the
Dresden yard cars can easily acquire
considerable momentum when they are
heavily loaded and strong wind is
blowing behind them, while light cars
moving in the face of a strong head
wind find the grade none too steep to
give gravity motion. The of gravity
for shifting cars in this yard has been
very economical. Formerly the 1000
cars which passed Dresden for other
destinations were held on an average
of 81 hours before leaving. Now they
remain but five hours. There are thus
saved by concentration of switching
work formerly done in four different
places, and by improved methods, 10
hours per car. The saving is thus prac=
tically equal to adding 16x2,o0o-s4, or
1888 cars per day, to the total number
available for traffic.-Railroad Gazette.
