On the new Rock Island line un-
der construction to Ell Paso, a new
track-laying machine is being used,
The outfit consists of a fiat car plac-
ed in front of the engine which pro-
pels it; at the rear of this car are
narrow platforms running back on
each side of the engine and train for
considerable distance. The rails
and ties are unloaded from the cars
upon movable carriage propelled
by ropes and pulleys running from
the front of the machine, where a
small stationary engine is located.
BY this means the material for the
track is carried forward as fast as re-
quired. The difficult task of haul
ing both rails and ties along the line
of the roadway is done away with,
and much greater speed in build
ing can be attained. With the old
methods one mile per day was con-
sidered fast work, while three can
now be laid with ease. Twenty-Five
miles of the roadway is now ready
for the rails and the work is to be
completed by Sept. dodge City
