Georgia Ties for the Rutland Railroad.

During the past two months the Rut-
land railroad has received 20, 900 Georgia
pine ties. These are used principally on
curves and in the yards where a harder
and longerwearing tie is required than the
ties Of cedar and hemlock. The use of these
tends to improve the character of the track.
Very few, if any, of the ties of this class
have been used on the Rutland railroad up
to two years ago. In 1897, $1,000 ties
were put in. The balance of the ties used
on the road are cedar, princess pine and
hemlock, which are bought in Canada,
with some white oak and chestnut that are
purchased along the road. In 1897 the
road put in $4,000 ties of all classes, and in
lS9S fully 10000 will be laid. The life of
the Georgia pine tie is y years. The
cedar tie will not rot for 10 years, but it
wears out sooner because of its softness.
The princess pine lasts seven years: the
hemlock, five years; the white oak 10
years, and the chestnut II years.
