ENORMOUS QUANTITY
OF TIES USED

0ne-seventh of the twenty five and
a quarter millions of railroad ties that
are in the Pacific System OF the South
ern Pacific railroad have to be taken
up each year and replaced with abso-
lutely new ones. These ties, before
being placed in the roadbed. must be
treated either by creasote OF with a
chemical preparation, known as the
burnettizing treatment, before they
can be used.
The burnettizing process consists of
forcing chloride OF zinc into the wood
cells. A vacuum treatmnet ia first
applied. The ties are placed in cyl
inder, steamed for the purpose of soft
ening the wood cells. then the vacuum
is applied to extract the sap and water
from the wood. After this the chlorid
of zinc is applied. More than half
day is required for this process after
which the ties are treated to a sun
bath for several weeks. The creasot-
ing process is essentially similar to
burnettizing, except that dead oil of
coal tar is used in place of zinc solu-
ton.
There are four spikes in each tie and
two tie plates. Bring your mathemat-
ical talents into play. The answer is
l0l 900, 900 spikes and so, 900, 600 tie
plates in the Pacific System of the
Southern Pacific. The tie plates weigh
