Longitudinals vs. Cross-Ties for Railway Tracks
The following remarks were suggested by the announcement of the title of the paper by Mr. T. C. Clarke on “The Advantages of a Longitudinal Bearing System for Railway Tracks,” but those dealing with the subject generally, were in the main originally prepared before the writerhad seen the paper, and when he did not know, therefore, that Mr. Clarke would confine his attention to metal longitudinals. The remarks referring specially to points in his paper were, of course, written after a careful perusal of that paper. The general opinions of railway engineers in countries where the continuous bearings of longitudinals and the separate bearings of cross-ties have both been tried, appear to be decidedly in favor of the cross-tie system for ordinary purposes, although the longitudinals continue to be quite extensively used under special conditions, more especially across bridges.
