the supply has been greatly reduced

forced to pay almost prohibitIve prices

cheaper woods to replace the white
oak ties rapidly disappearing from

Over 40 per cent OF the ties recent

statistics Of United States Forest
Service. cross-ties of Southern pins

true of cedar. chestnut, sypress. West

Cedar, which is very durable, has
been extensively used to take the
place of white oak for ties, but IT is SO
soft that 1t is readily cut by the rails.
This necessitates the use Of tie plates
