HEAVIER STEEL RAILS.

The Pennsylvania railroad is hav-
ing tests made of steel rails weigh
ing 120 pounds to the yard, with a
view to beginning their installation
If the results shall determine that
they will materially increase safety
In travel.
Thus is the great system commit
ted in the most practical way to one
of the suggestions repeatedly made
by the Interstate Commerce and
other Investigators Of accidents by
rail. 1t has been pointed out in
Vulnerable times that the strength of
roadbeds has not increased in pro-
portion to the weight of locomotives
and cars and the speed of trains.
The heaviest rail now used on the
Pennsylvania weighs 100 pounds to
the yard, and this is heavier than
can be found On most Of the railroad
mileage of the country. The 12O-
pound rail would add much to ini-
tial expense; if it should prove to
wear longer in proportion to its
weight-and many authorities insist
1t would do even better than this
then it would be an ultimate econ
omy.
