Freight Cars

HE innnense volunle of commerce in the United States and the long T railroad hauls required to transport nmny of the materials used has made it necessary to provide rolling stock capable of handling freight in large quantities. To nwct this demand with the least possible amount of non-revenuc load-weight of equipment-freight cars built for use on American railroads havc been increased grcatly in size adca- pacity in the last two decades; cnrs ranging upward to 120-tons each in capacity havc been built. This iilcrcase in size has required careful design and construction in order to provide ample strength to withstand the severe service but with the use of only a miniinurn amount of material. The increased cubical capacity has nccessitatcd 'cars of greater length since railway line clearances place a linlitation on the height and width and this in turn necessitates n grcatcr distance between truck ccnters which, togcthcr with the scvcre strcsscs encountered in the op- eration of the heavy trains, renders the dcsign of car underframes a matter of vital importcance. Thc use of all-steel undcrframes has be- come universal for practically all classes OF Freight cars, particularly for those cars intendccl for handling heavy materials, such as coal and iron, or ores in bull;; in many cases the body framing also and frequently the entirc car is constructed of stccl. Thc use of wood has practically been abolished in car truck construction and the use of cast stecl, pressed and . iorged stccl, or rolled steel parts has beconlc gencral. In 1921, thcre werc more than 3,000,000 freight equipnlent cars on the railroads of the Unitcd States. Of tlicso about 264,000 were pri- vately ownecl ; about 2,G18,000 werc opcratcd by the hilroads in revenue service-transporting revenue proclucii~gfreight ; the remainder con- sistcd of caboose cars for freight train service and various other types of cars, such as ballast cars and othcr equipment used by the Main- tenance of Way Department. Thcsc cars are divided into several gen- eral classcs or groups; box and othcr closed top cnrs; open-top cars; other revenue cars ; and non-revenue cars. (ED.ADV.) Pogc 67

1;or thc bcnefit ot' the I:l-ivo I~mployees, espe- cially those whose duty it is to protect the Right- of-\\'a!-, we are telling on this page in a few words, how :\~nerican \V o v e n \\'ire Fencing is made and ho~its life can be in- SIAl

MAKING AMERICAN WOVEN WIRE FENCING-After selecting the proper kind of steel for fencing, our expert wire workers draw it into round full gauge wires. The wires are then cleaned and covered with a heavy unllo~mcoatlng of galvanizing to protect them from rust. They arr then coiled and moved to fence weaving department where they are fed into wontlerful machines, as illustrated, and manufactured into strong sturdy fencing. The horizontal or line wires are spaced as may be best suited for railroad use and the stay or unright wires are woven in every six, twelve or twenty-four inches as may be spe- cified. The stays are fastened to the horizontal wires with the famous American Hinge Joint which pre- vent the fence from being crushed under pressure. Tension Curves, which act like springs, are built into every line \)we - spared six inches apart. These curves make it possible to stretch the fence as it should be stretched and still provide for proper expansion and contraction under temperature changes.. The curves will not r~ullout, but stand there doing duty year after year. Everything possible is done to make Amerwan Fence the Standard of the World. It leaves the factory In perfect condition and when it reaches you it must not be handled like junk, but properly st~reduntil used.

STOHIS(; l~'ES<'IS<;-The Idei~lphce to storr fencing is ill a clean \va~'r~housewhvrr it will be protected from tiestructive chemicals as coal, soft r80irl smoke and cinders contain wulpliur which attwlis and destroys zinc. If it is not convenient to pul the fencing in a warehouse, store it on boards- not on the ground. Cinders, ashes, lime, reniellt. ~)lnsterand other chrmicals which are dest~'uc,tivc of ~ulvanizinamay be mixed with the earth anrl not sern hy the rye. .I little care in storing fel~eillg1nir.v save your road a lot of moncy.

To zivr proper servicc, frncinfi must be properly erected on stronr rnd posts and well stretched. Lack of space prevents us from saying much about fence building on this ~bam.. but we have published an interest in^ book about fencinz for railroads in which we tell about the diKrrent specifications adopted by roads and how to build fencing on wood or steel posts. Every roadmastrr or employee interested in fence construction should have a copy. Write to our nearest office for a free cop? of our Railroad Fence Rook. American Steel Wire Company
