Americas First Steel Rails.


I'm 1865, as an. experiment, the, North
Chicago Rolling, MIl company manu-
fhetured six Bessemer steel rails from
steel produced at Wyandotte, Mich
They were the first made In Amersaa,
the modest beginning Of q great in
dustry. A New York mill, using ma
terial turned out at Troy, made fur
ther experiments. and in 1867 the
Cambria company began to, rorl Bes-
semer steel rails as a regular business,
says an exchange. The first rails Of
this type, were made and used Tn Eng
land. They were introduced into
America by the Pennsylvania railroad,
which. In 1853. imported and put into
service 100 tons Of steel rails. The
price paid was $3.50 gold per ton.
equivalent in Civil war times to 5000
in American currency. These rails
were made Of crucible steel and CON
tanned a high percentage Of carbon,
rendering them brittle. For this rea-
son many broke during the next win
ter. but despite this fact the railway
company placed orders for large guam
titles in Great Britain, paying from
$135 to $162.D gold per ton.
