For New Work

For all new work the standard practice to-day is as follows:- The rails are of B.S.S. No. 6 sec- tion, and 9 in. of concrete is laid to within 11⁄2 in. of the rail flange. The 1% in, space under the rail is later packed tight with 1 in. clean granite chippings, when asphaltum of suitable con- sistency is poured in at a tem perature of 300 degrees Fal. until, the lange of the rail is complete- ly sealed. With doubtful subsoil- the concrete is reinforced with B.R.C. fabric. Anchor bolts are used where necessary. Well cut granite setts 5 in. deep or 2 in. asphaltum sand-carpeting is used for the paving.
