Appendix No. 7. Report of M. Alexander, Esq., Road Master and Engineer Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway
In reply to your letter of March 15th, asking for dates, etc., regarding ties that have been subjected to different kinds of treatment and laid in track on the C., R. I. & P. R’y, I can only give you the results of two lots of ties that have been treated, one of which was Burnettized and the other creosoted. November, 1866, we laid in main track just west of Englewood about 2 000 soft-wood ties, consisting of pine, tamarack and cedar, but the greater portion of them were hemlock. These ties were all treated to a solution of chloride of zinc, and have sustained a very heavy traffic.
