A simple method of getting rid OF su-
perfuous obsolete railway rolling stock
has been adopted at a foundry in Michi-
gan, where a l.-rge number of cars were
received from a railway company. The
only part of the cars worth saving was
the metal, and the problem was to sepa-
rate It from the timber at small cost Two
inclines were built, and two trains of cars
were released at the top OF the incline
and allowed to collide at the bottom. The
wreck was then burned and the iron COL
iecied.
