Cost of TracE.

H . F.
In an old pamphlet which was discov-
cred recently in the Astor Library in
New York, are some interesting figures
with reference to the cost of piece5o
track laid by the B. g. o. in 1880 and
1881. 1. L. Sullivan. evidently a civil
engineer, in report to R. L. Colt, esti-
mates that the track laid with wood
sleepers, wood bearers aud plate rail, ex;
elusive of ground and graduation, would
cost 81 1862 per mile; with stone blocks,
cost of iron was 81 1924, the cost would be,
s., 115 per mile; with granite stills in line
with plate rail, of which the iron was
S2OS7, the coat would be Sc, 500 per mile,
divided as follows:
Sills at s11.5O per 100, $3.50
Bar iron. 1900
Broken stone, $40
Various items, $50
This engineer sPeculated on two ton
loads and one ton cars, and said in his
report that the B. & o. would be doing
a very rash thing if they went beyond
this point.
He also says "The locomotive engine
now operating successfully on the Balti
more road, made by Mr.. Winans to run
on friction carriage, though of moder
ate power, has great useful effect"
Mr.. Winnns was apparently the first
to patent outside Journals and to reduce
the resistance from friction from III to
4 pounds per ton. - afi4s

CarroIlton. the celebrated signer of the
Declaration of Independence, laid the
