lthough Canada owes its prosperity, and even its
nationitl 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 been extraordinarily rapid, Not only
were the engineers etnployod 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
plains and in the Rockies which were once, thought im-
passable, but competition with other lines and the
demand of the travelling public for sorviee, Comfort and
convenience has stimulated the activities of the oper-
ating departments to etch an extent that in the matter
of equipment and service railroads in this Dominion are
not surpassed on the continent
experiences gained in 'teonstructiou days" were not
lost, nor has the standard of efficiency which signalized
the Canadjen engineer been lowered, and today Cana-
dians claim to he the world's leaders in railway construe -
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 en hour securing total daily
mileages up to 10 males and over and thus establishing
another record. This while the road was under heavy
traffic. First calve the train with the new rail. By means
of special handling appliances the rails were distributed
alone the traolt, outside the old steel, 33o/lowing 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 the old rails were pushed
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
movieof the old rail to the outside of the track where it
could beinkedb
P upthe salvage train. Tho discarded
steel wail not unbolted being one continuous pisco, some-
times half a mile in length, The end of this rail was
thrown outside the new track fled es a heavily weighted
truck was pushed slowly by n powerful engine, so the
phlanges on its foremost wheels shoved the old rail ever
the new to the outside of the track --- a simple o eratiolt,
hut one which, in course of a few years saves the Com-
pany thousands of dollars. As a matter of feet, this sus-
tom of re-laying track,, practised first by the Canadian
Pacific on the Meganttc Subdivision, has attracted the
attention of railroad officials alt over the continent,
many of whom have sent rnpresentativee from as far
away a9 Texas to secure first hand knowledge of it end
the special unloading equinmant used.
