metal over the new a ltfaough canada owes its prosperity and even its tk national life to the railroads which stretch across the dominion and send feeders north and south into its rich agricultural and mining countries the railroad history of the country does not yet cover fifty years in their short existence however canadian railways have progressed and been so forced to meet the increasing demands and requirements of the country that their development has neen extraordinarily rapid not only were the engineers employed by the canadian pacific compelled to press the laying of steel to the pacific at a pace hitherto unknown regardless of the many difficulties and obstacles which they encountered both on the pwn3 and in the rockies which were once thought i-n- passable but competition with other lines and the demand of the travelling public for service comfort and convenience has stimulated the activities of the oper ating departments to such an extent that in the matter of equipment and service railroads in this dominion are not surpassed on the continent experiences gained in construction days were not lost nor has the standard of efficiency which signalized the canadian engineer been lowered and today cana dian claim to be the worlds leaders in railway construc tion maintenance and operation using unusual and effective methods the canadian pacific recently laid over 100 miles of 100 pound rail at the rate of a mile or more an hour securing total daily mileages up to 10 miles and over and thus establishing another record this whl the road was under heavy is- traffic first came the train with the new rail by means of special handling appliances the rails were distributed along the track outside the old steel following the distribution of the new steel the rails were picked up by a special gang set up end to end and bolted into two rail units next the inside spikes were pulled by a gang detailed off for this work and tlie old rails were pushca in towards the centre of the track the new rail was then lifted into place and spiked down against the shoulder of the old tie plates before being bolted into one continuous stretch this ensured that the alignment and surface of the track remained undisturbed the new tie plates were inserted later perhaps the most interesting operation was the moving of the old rail to the outside of the track where it could be picked up by the salvage train the discarded steel was not unbolted being one continuous piece some times half a mile in length the end of this rail was thrown outside the new track snd as a heavily weighted truck was pushed slowly by a powerful engine so the phanges on its foremost wheels shoved tbe old rail over the new to the outside of the track a simple operation but one which in course of a few years saves the com pany thousands of dollars as a matter of fact this sys tem of relaying track practised first by the canadian pacific on the megantic subdivision has attracted the attention of railroad officials all over the continent many of whom have sent representatives from as far away as texas to secure first hand knowledge of it and the special unloading equipment used
