WOODEN RAILS.
Tho Plan of an Economical Hall
way Company.

A very peculiar and decidedly
economical railroad is In course of
construction In flOUth Florida. The
company constructing it Is known
as the Avon Park Construct Ion com
pany, ami tho road will run from
Avon Park, In Ho Soto county, to
Haines City, in Polk county, about
forty miles duo north. Tho capital
stock is twenty-live thousand dol
lars, with which sum the promoters'
expect to Imlld and equip tlm road.
"Up north" that amount would
barely build a mile of road. Tlmt it
can bo made to build and equip forty
miles of track in Florida opens up a
new era In railroad construction.
Tho credit of originating the new
Idea, says the Cincinnati Post, be
longs largely to .1 0. Burleigh, >»
Connecticut Yankee, transplanted
to Florida and now superintendent
of llic new line that is being con
structed. hast full Burleigh was
manager of a steam sawmill in Avon
Park. The I imber for a mile around
his mill Ims been cut ami hauled to
his saws by mule power, and could
no longer be furnished profitably by
tills means, hither he must move
Ids mill farther out into I lie forest
or find some other agent for trans
porting logs. II > sent mi order to
the Limn Locomotive Machine works
for one of their twelve-ton Shay
locomotives.
When word came that she was at
Howling Green, the nearest railway
station, twenty-three milt's distant,
Mr. Burleigh went to Bowling Green
with a force of twelve men, n eook,
camping outfit and a stock of 4x0
and 2x(l timbers, built an Inclined
plane of trestle work flush with tho
floor of the boxcar on which the
locomotive, lay, and on this laid a
tramway of the 4x0 rails, which led
down to tho earth and out Into the
forest. Then he slewed the Crosby,
us the locomotive was named, round
till her head pointed to the east, got
her wheels, which have an eight-
inch tread, upon the trams, and told
hjs engineer to give her steam H«
Old so, and Inch by Inch she came
clown tho trestle to solid earth at
gracefully, if not as quickly, as a
ship launches herself from the ways
into her natural demont. When she
had steamed to the end of the tram
way the rails behind her were taken
up and laid down in front again, and
In tills wav, over creeks, through
marshes and swamps, and tho com
paratively level surface of the fiat
wood, she mjide her wa.v in liinedays
to the park. There mi ovation was
accorded her. Tho citizens assem
bled to greet, her, the bells rang, tho
whistles tooted, the bund played,
speeches were made, and great en
thusiasm was displayed. The motor
had heel) moved so successfully over
tho wooden tramway that it sug
gested to Mr. Burleigh a similar
device for his logging road. For
tills he took 8x4 beams and laid them
In tho sand without crossties, the
ends being joined by wooden fish
plates. Ralls and fishplates were
held together by wooden (Tins
eighteen leches long, driven through
both Into the ground.
This road has now been in opera
tion several months without repairs
and without accident, although
about twenty heavy logging trains a
day run over It; tho mils quickly
imbed themselves firmly in tho sand,
which packs about them and holds
them firmly In place.
When, In January last, the Avon
Park Transportation company was
formed Mr. Burleigh wus elected
superintendent, and proposed build
ing the new road on the lines laid
down In his logging road, offering to
take any doubting Thomas over the
line and give him ocular demonstra
tion of its safety and efficiency. His
plan was adopted and the road is
now being built through the pri
meval forest of Haines City, where it
will connect with the Plant system
for Jacksonville and the north.
