North American railroads until the mid-to late-20th century used rails long so they could be carried to and from a worksite in gondola cars ( open wagons ), often long ; as gondola sizes increased, so did rail lengths.

They were built to be as light as possible so they could run over the lightly built temporary rails and had deeply flanged wheels so they did not de-rail on the tracks which were often very uneven.

The new owners quickly converted the line to mixed gauge using three rails so that both broad and " narrow " trains could operate.

It was intended that when the rails became worn they could be turned over to use the other surface, but in practice it was found that the chairs into which the rails were keyed caused wear to the bottom surface so that it became uneven.

Then in 1875, the reformed Minneapolis Street Railway made a deal with the Minneapolis City Council where the company would have exclusive access to street rails for 50 years if they could be up and operating in four months.

Many railways preferred a flat bottom rail section, where the rails could be laid directly on the ties ( sleepers ), representing a marked cost saving.

For many years rails could only be made in lengths of up to 60 ft ( 18 288mm ) in Britain, and the factory welding process made them into 600, 900 or 1200 ft lengths, depending on the factory.

The long rails could be conveyed to site by special train, and unloaded on to the ground ( by chaining the end in position and pulling the train out from underneath the rails ).

After the first streetcar, TCRT # 1300, was successfully restored, other projects were examined in the time before the streetcar could be put on its own set of rails.

Thanks to a system of shoe anchorages and fixed rails in the heart of the pylons, a new layer of concrete could be poured every 20 minutes.

At one point, to determine whether railroads could safely trim staff as they proposed, Osborne dressed as a hobo and rode the rails and was once arrested by police in Syracuse, New York in the course of his sleuthing.

* The curve at a fixed offset from a given Bézier curve, often called an offset curve ( lying " parallel " to the original curve, like the offset between rails in a railroad track ), cannot be exactly formed by a Bézier curve ( except in some trivial cases ).

Side rails on the bed should be kept up to prevent patient from falling.

Depending on local circumstances and tradition they may be powered either by diesel engines located below the passenger compartment ( diesel multiple units ) or by electricity picked up from third rails or overhead lines ( electric multiple units ).

These systems are called Stadtbahn ( not to be confused with S-Bahn ), on main line rails.

The new engines were too heavy to be run on wooden rails, and iron rails were in their infancy, with cast iron exhibiting excessive brittleness.

It can be used for handrails or guard rails.

The electric-outline model would be supplied by the overhead wire and the other model ( usually steam-outline ) would be supplied by one of the running rails.

The invention of the wrought iron rail by John Birkinshaw in 1820 allowed the short, brittle, and often uneven, cast iron rails to be extended to lengths.

This helps to avoid " catching " on any tiny burrs or other obstructions that may exist or be formed on rails, boxes, and other types of grind.

As railways developed and expanded one of the key issues to be decided was that of the track gauge ( the distance, or width, between the inner sides of the rails ) that should be used.

* 16 December 2006-The rail link with Cambodia is to be restored with a loan from the Asian Development Bank and a donation of rails from Malaysia.

Though typically flat the whole length on heavy duty trucks, the rails may sometimes be tapered or arched for clearance around the engine or over the axles.

Though they may be welded, crossmembers are most often attached to frame rails by bolts or rivets.

Having been bypassed with the completion of the Lucin Cutoff in 1904, the Promontory Summit rails were pulled up in 1942 to be recycled for the World War II effort.

* On November 21, 2007, the presidents of Azerbaijan-Ilham Aliyev, Georgia-Mikheil Saakashvili, and Turkey-Abdullah Gül inaugurated the construction of the railroad at a groundbreaking ceremony at the Marabda junction south of Tbilisi, and the first rails were planned to be laid in April 2008.

The magnetic field this generates causes the metal to be projected along the rails.

The practice of heating rails and bending them around trees, leaving behind what came to be known as " Sherman's neckties ," made repairs difficult.

Roads wouldn't again be competitive with rails and barges until the first half of the 20th century when the internal combustion engine replaces draft animals as the source of motive power.

Care must also be taken to ensure that the rails remain straight, without resulting in dipped joints, which can cause wear on high speed and heavy axle load lines.

These breachings can be promptly closed in the event of high water by way of an insert which is stored on rails inside the wall at each breaching.

The area around the altar is seen as endowed with greater holiness, and is usually physically distinguished from the rest of the church, whether by a permanent structure such as an iconostasis, a rood screen or altar rails, by a curtain that can be closed at more solemn moments of the liturgy, as in the Armenian Apostolic Church and Armenian Catholic Church, or simply by the general architectural layout.
