The Omaha's Rail Cutter.

Last week Thursday. by courtesy
Of Roadmaster r.. Grain, of the 0ma-
ha road, the local editorial people
were taken to- Sioux Falls Junction
to see the operation of new piece OF
machipery for cutting steel rails and
boring new holes in them, recently
purchased by the Omaha road.
The Omaha is always a leader in
railroad equipment, and this machine
is the first one brought into the
northwest. There has been similar
machines made but this one is of the
most modern type. It is composed
Of some massive parts and the work
ing is complete in all details. 1t oc-
cupies it's own car and can be moved
from one division to another. The
rails are lifted from the car to the
saving carnage by crane operated
by air. A clamp, operated hX air, is
placed on the rail where it is to be
sawed and then the saving carriage
set in a tilted position is moved for
ward bringing the rail upon the saw
by air pressure. The saw is Of soft
steel and will saw steel rail of in
five seconds. ThsEails als then pass
ed along on rollers by men to the
drilling machine which is arranged
so as to drill three holes in four epds
of a rail at the same time, Mater
lis kept running an the aaw and drill
bits all the time while working to
keep them cool: The rails are then
sorted out according to their lengths
and placed on skids, ready to be re-
placed in the track for service. The
ends sawed off which are battered
by long service, are sent to the rol-
ling mills as old iron. A force OF
twenty-one men 10 required when op.
Grated to its full capacity. By reas.
ON Of the large increase in the price
of rails, this is great saving te the
company. One Of these machines
! cost about $4,000 Supt. Spencer
was out there the first of the week
andprononnces the machine success.
Work was suspended this week for
the present. Roadmaster Grain
was in charge Of the work and j,
we'll pleased with the manner il
which the machine does the work.
