The Sandusky, Milan & Norwalk Electric Railway wascompelled to strengthen the floor of one iron bridge on itsline by placing wooden stringers under each rail. Theywere built up of 2-in. planks 14 in. wide bolted together soas to lircak joints.

Inold structures the trusses were generally found satisfactory, but the Hoor systems weak. The floor beams were strength-ened and 9-in. girder rails laid thereon, these being usedboth as rails and as girders. The rails are always used inas long lengths as possible. Up to spans of 10 ft. the railswere used as girders without trussing. For spans ofgreater length the rails were trussed and when thus strength-ened have been used for 17-ft. spans. The flooring wasrelaid with details of joists to suit the 9-in. girder rails.This company has found that these heavy and continuous9-in. rails very materially reduced the vibrations even ofapparently weak highway bridges, antl with the new floor-ing put the bridge in condition to better resist the shocksfrom general trathc.
