RAILS BADLY BUCKLED

The expansion of rails from the heat, with consequent buckling, is one

of the danger s for which railro a d trackmen are constantly on the lookout during the hot months o f summer, but it is not often that so extr em e a case as that shown in the illustratlo n oc c u rs. In this case the danger was discovered in time to pre-

vent an accident, and the bent rails were quickly replaced by new rails, be;ween the ends of which plenty of space was left for expansion.—Popular Mechanics,
