THE MERITS OF STEEL SLEEPERs
They Largely Replace Wooden ones on
n cNiSS I1jlrn,I


a Swiss Railroad
The question of the relative merits of
steel siccpcrS as compared With wooden
ones has long been Il veNinS question to
he railroad officials having to do with
such matters. There is no doubt now
however. that steel SlccpcrS are superb
or to those of wood, in some cases. ac-
cordlng to the report of an official OF
the Nrthcrland State railroad. From
this report il appears that the Gothard
Railroad Company, OF Switzerland.
ROW has 10 per cent OF its own tracks
laid with iron or steel SieeperS. They
began to u.s.. the metallic sleepers sin
teen years ago, an,! have kept Il care
tul watch upon them all tbs. time. The
road is crooked and has long tunnels
and steep grades. When the sleeper OF
average. weight is first put in II costs
about 81 80, but when taken out it Is
still worth something. and the net cost
would therefore reach about $i.GS each.
After the first TWO years the cost OF
:rcping the track in order is conSid-
e.rabl.- lower with metal than wooden
sl"cpcrs, and the lateral displacement
IF the tracks on curves is less. In
long tunnels the steel sleepers rust, so
that they last only eight or ten years,
aud on ,anScntS IN long tunnels wooden
;leepers are still used. The reports
state that except in tunnels. the sleep
crs of metal viii last as long as the
