This item is printed on demand. Paperback. 44 pages. Dimensions: 9.7in. x 7.4in. x 0.1in.This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1871 Excerpt: . . . from the nearest point to which water carriage is available. It seems probable that the ironwork from England, when delivered on the ground, will (freight and charges included) amount to nearly treble the prime cost. Hence it is important to get as little iron as possible from home, and to take every care that none of it, (especially rails, which make so large a proportion of the weight) should require renewal. The rail must be made to last unrenewed until the Canal works are finished, which time we now estimate at 6 or 7, but which unforeseen delays may extend to 10 years. No rails of reasonable weight, fastened as is usual on temporary lines, could stand the work these will be subjected to for even the shorter of the periods mentioned; to be safe for the longer period, it is necessary to have rails new, of good quality, and to expose them to a minimum of unfair wear and tear. The extra cost of the strong fastenings designed to comply with the last condition represents only 11 per cent. of the sum, which renewal of the rails would involve. I have no means of ascertaining what rails it is proposed to use on the Indian State Railways, but would suggest that if any rail of suitable strength and tread for our purpose, is being or intended to be imported by the Government of India, our rails should be of the same pattern. Whether we want a few odd rails, or whether we find at the end of the work that some fairly sound rails are to spare, it would be a considerable advantage to have rails interchangeable with some railway in permanent work. The one shown is sketched by me, not (as far as I am aware) a rail of standard dimension. The expense of delivering iron at Bunbassa is one reason for the use of wooden instead of iron sleepers. The line runs through forest . . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN.
