  • METHODS of CLEANING STONE BALLAST Report of Committee
    METHODS OF CLEANING STONE BALLAST Report of Committee L. J. Drumeller division engineer, C. & 0., Hinton, W. Va. Probably one of the most important problems that has confronted maintenance officers during the last five years has been that of keeping the ballast section cleaned, particularly in stone-ballasted territories. This condition was largely brought about by a curtailed labor allowance which made it necessary to direct practically all available funds to line and surface, tie renewals, and such other maintenance work as was necessary for the safe operation of trains. These conditions resulted in the usual ballast cleaning and renewal cycle being prolonged two and, in some cases, three fold. Clean, crushed stone ballast is recognized as the most satisfactory ballast in dense-traffic territory, and one of the underlying requirements of a well maintained railroad is clean, live ballast. Those railroads which were able to maintain such a condition through the past few years are fortunate. Before discussing the various methods of cleaning stone ballast, it may be well to outline briefly some of the major conditions that cause ballast to become foul. They include the following: 1. Inadequate surface and subsurface drainage. 2. Battered rail ends, causing joints to vibrate excessively under wheel loads. 3. Burned rail, due to slipping drivers, bringing about the same condition as in Item 2. 4. Front-end sparks from locomotives operating on heavy grades. 5. Commodities such as coal, coke, etc., in territories close to the points of loading. 6. Leakage through floors and hopper-bottoms of cars. 7. The elements, causing the deposit of wind-blown dirt, etc., on ballast.
