ln therpresent. embodiment of the invention, the. rails have. a portion of the tread A and a Corresponding portion of the base H, cnt-away a; ai B, the cnt-away portion extending longitudinally of the rail a sufficient distance to form a good joint, and extending transversely of the tread approximately half the, Width thereof. liie ends of the cntl away portion are rounded somewhatas at o,
and the. webS C ot' the. rails are oil-.set laterally throughouttbe extent of the joint. to overlap, aseiearly shown in Fig. is'. and the ends of the wel are beveled as at n. The Webs are also I'wrforated transversely for receiving: boit: r, whereby to Heeure the webs together, ai.y 't if desired, tiah plates E may he arranged .i each side of the overlapping webs.
Cha-irs G srioivn io lfig. 4 are arranged at each end ofv he joint, each chair comprising a flat bottom plate y, provided at one end with an overlying tlangc g', and at the other end with a transverse series: of openings 1/2 for receiving a spike.

the joint being at approximately Ithe' center of the chair, and the overlying flange overlying the. base H of the rail. Each end of the joint is spaced to rest upon a tie, with a chair thereunder, and a spike is passed through one of the openings g2, the head of the s ike engaging the hase of the rail in the nsua manner.
A joint arranged as set forth will be very strong, firm, and safe and will be practically noisel'ess insuring smooth running of the roller stock, and eliminating jar, thus adding to the comfort of the traveler, and also to the life of the rail and the road bed.
