Description
e UNITED e STATES PATENT EEICE,

|MPRo`vED `RAILWAY.
specification forming part afnemers Patent No. 95.051, dma september 21, '1ste chusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Railroads, and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilledin the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specifica.
tion.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in railroads, having reference both to the rail and track and the flange and tread of the wheel to run thereon; and it consists in the form of the rail and method of forming ythe road, and inthe form of the tread of the wheel and position of the iiange thereon, as will be hereinafter more fully described.
In the accompanying plate of drawings, Figure 1 represents a top or plan view of the track with truck-wheels thereon. Fig. 2Y is a crosssection showing the form of the rail and the method of forming the track.
Similarletters of reference indicate corresponding parts.- Ais the tie. B is the rail. `C is the joint or supplementary rail. D` represents the carwheel on the rail.
The rail is inthe form of right-angled angle-iron,` which is placed on the ends of the ties, as seen in the drawings. The ends of the ties are rabbeted to receive and support the becomes worn the rail may be `turned end for end'or placed on the other sideof the track,
which will allow the other` face to be used.
i In laying thetrack theties are cut to a uniform length, which length determines the gage of the road, thus preventing any variations in the gage of the road, besides making a material saving in the quantity of timber used for ties.-
The sub or joint rail C is designed to take the tread of the wheel and relieve the ends of the rails, and also prevent the -constant and disagreeable clatter or noise occasioned by the collision ofthe wheel with the ends ofthe rails. In combination with this rail we employ a peculiarly constructed carwheel, D.` This wheel, it will be seen, has its iiange E on the outside instead of Vthe inside. This prevents any possibility of the track spreading, while the liability to run off' the track' is lessened The tendency to run off the track is also pre-` vented by the peculiar form of the tread of thewheel, which, it will be seen, is highest on its inside. This formation throws the tread onto the supplementary rails C at all the joints but preventing the unpleasant noise and motion` constantly experienced on common rail-` roads.
VHaving thus described our invention, we
claim `as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent l. The angle-rail B, supplementary rail C, and the wheel D, in combination, substantially as and for the purposes described.
2. The combination of the angle-rail B and vthe tie A, arranged as described, and for the i purposes set forth.
