Appendix No. 8. Burnettizing on Lehigh and Susquehanna R. R
Soon after receiving your circular asking for information regarding “preservation of timber” I went to Mauch Chunk, and calling upon Mr. Twining, Roadmaster of the L. & S. Division of the C. R. R. of N. J., he very kindly accompanied me to a portion of his track in which were a quantity of Burnettized ties which have been in the track since 1867 and 1868. The track in which these ties are laid runs along the river bank, and is in a side-cutting, in rock principally. The ties in question consist of maple, beech and hemlock. They were mixed indiscriminately with untreated ties at the time of laying, with one, two or three in a place.
