By 'nears stands Although Canada owes its prosperity, and even its national lite to the Railroads which stretch across the Dominion Raid 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 engineer 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 plains and in the Rockies whirh were onee thought im- passable, hut competition with other lines and the demand of the travelling publie for service, comfort and convenienee 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 dave" were not boot, nor hu the standard of efficiency which signalized the Canadian engineer been lowered, and today Cana- dians claim to be the world's leaders in railway eonstrue- tion maintenance and operation. Using unusual and affective 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 while the road was under heavy 1. eft spacial handling sppliances the rails were distribute -I along the track outside the old *teed. 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. Neat, the Inside spikes were pulled by a gar g detailed nff,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 ore continuous stretch. This ensured that the alignment alt surface of the track remained undisturbed. The new to• plates were inserted later. Perhaps the most interesting operation was the• couldmovinbe piof nk de ld upail hyto the the salvage train.
