TEN PER CENT OF RAIL
DISAPPEARS EACH YEAR

More than 100000 tons OF steel is actu-
ally worn away from the surface OF
rails In the United States yearly. The
tonnage OF rails discarded as worn out''
every year is about one million. and at
least 10 per cent OF the metal has dis
appeared In each case. while there has
also been a change in the shape OF the
nead due TO displacement OF the steel
by flow"
This loss is due to the rolling friction
of the wheel on the rail AS to the
wheels themselves these lose from II 600
TO $4,000 tons of metal annually. OF which
the great bulk is rubbed Off by friction
OF the brake.
The old cast-iron wheels are being
rapidly replaced by steel, and this will
doubtless affect the wear on both wheel
and rail-, although tho result is some
what uncertain. 1t may be expected
greater than from the harder, though
more brittle. cast iron.
In spite Of this loss, however they may
last longer. as the steel wheels will bear
more wear than the iron ones before
becoming unfit for use Tests made by
one OF the largest railroads in the coun-
try indicate that the life Of steel
wheel is likely to be three times as long
as that of an iron one.
The Importance Of careful study OF
the conditions of wear appears from the
fact that the thousands OF tons Of valua-
BILE metal thus dissipatcd by wear are not
recoverable. and might as we'll be ami
hilated. so far as their future use to
the world is concerned.
With the increasing weights OF rails
and the development OF steel manufac-
ture greater attention has been paid to
the details Of analysis. process OF manu-
facture. shape. and laying. and IL may
be briefly stated that all these matters
arc uniformly prescribed at the present
time.
Our rail fastenings. ties. and ballast
have kept pace with the development OF
the rail and equipment. An orthodox
part Of the rules governing the mainte-
nance OF railway properly places In the
hands OF the maintenance force standard
plans and specifications, not only for the
elements, such as rails and ties. but for
the complete makeup OF the finished
track structure and roadbed. and these
plans are the result Of current expert
ence and study OF the several railroads,
and of the various associations of enGi
neers maintenance officers. and manu-
facturers and II is safe to say that these
plans. specifications, and standard prac-
tces represent the best known state of
the art,
