THE TRACK GEOMETRY CAR: NEWEST TOOL OF M/W POLICY

Convinced that the track-measuring car is now firmly entrenched as a tool of M/W policy, and that its use will grow rapidly in coming years, RT&S editors decided to devote their third "roundtable" to a discussion of such cars. Participants consisted solely of representatives from railroads in the United States owning such cars, and the discussion dealt with every conceivable aspect of the subject that was thought to be of interest to engineers on other railroads. An expression of opinion has been obtained from the Canadian Pacific, as well as from the Quebec, North Shore and Labrador, and these are presented. The second installment will be printed in the April issue.
