New Rails for Old.

The Grand Trunk is preparing to lay
forty miles of new rails on this division,
and train has been distributing the new
rails along this part of the road during
the past ten days.
To be sure, it is only few years since
these S0.pound rails were laid in place
of the lighter ones which were formerly
in use, and the non-expert is not able to
see that they have deteriorated to speak
of, but in these days of heavy rolling
stock 1t seems TO be necessary that the
roadbed should be kept in the best posi-
BILE condition.
Speaking of the difference between
former times and now, G. Fl. Porter,
who worked on the section in his young.
or days land be is not an old man yeti,
says that when a rail got worn at the
end, as the old iron rails quickly did,
they used to take it into the old rail
shop, which stood near Gothic Street,
about where E. L. Parlin's house 10, and
have patch put on it.
Wouldn't that make q railroad man
laugh, these days?
Mr. Porter also worked on the track al
the time the change was made on this
part of the road from the old wide
gauge to the present standard gauge,
about the first Of October, 1874. The
change was made In the entire 29S miles
OF track from Portland to Montreal, and
all the sidings, without delaying pas
senger train. No trains were then ruu
on Sunday, and the work OF changing
was begun as soon as the last passenger
train Of the day had passed on Saturday
aud by Sunday night the work Was prac,
tically done. 1t was regarded as quite 9
feat 10 railroad work in those days, and
indeed IL Was so.

and Paris ran In two, with two men out
at the winning score.
