They will, we are convinced, take a sure and aniuU* revenge for all the setbacks which they have suffered. VTHEN shins go down to the sea by rail a difficult transportation problem is involved. A record in rail transport has been set by opjerattng officers of the Canadian National Railways in the receut successful movement of two large tugs, built far inland, to . the seaboard. "Wrd" t and "VVatch," terms as- ociated with security and guardian- ship, are the names of these tugs. They wwe transferred from their native element in Georgian Bay waters over the lines of the National System to an ! jsc Coast seaport . where they are now <!iuaged in -wan,. , york. These 60-foot overall trtgs w*re built at Owen Sofind, giVen their trials there, taken from the water and swung On U>.,r. ' tii <J|rs" ' to beglh a' railway journey "of more than 1,300 miles. That sounds simple but a tug cannot be. knocked down or folded up, particularly in this instance where' the 8tel hulls are welded. Height and breadth of the hull provided material for a lot of operat- ing headaches which lasted from Owen Sound to the Atlantic. Placed on her side on a flatcar the top of the luad was 18 feet, 9 inches above the top of the rail. The actual beam of the nig is 14 feet 6 inches so that when loaded on the car the hull projected two feet beyond the car edge on one side, the awkward posi- tion being due to the necessity for establishing a safe centre of gravity. OVerhang constitutes a problem on any port of a railway and particularly so at Curves. It was necessary for tha National System engineering depart- ment to check the plan of every bridge between the terminal points, a big task when carried out over 1,300 miles. Some clearances were of the si-antieSf, the smallest In-ing barely one inch from the top of tha at a point where a highway the railway. V J ht{ si^le overhang was a bi^i; er problem than the height and it was necessary to arrange for every train in which this load waa included to move at restricted speed when the -.r. -ml track was vacant. The entire transportation involved a series of cAreftflly planned movements. The transportation was carried out successfully and "Ward" and "Watch" are now in salt water performing their tasks of moving barges in the Canadian National lighterage service which daily handles great 'quantities of supplies and war material taken from the rail terminal and transferred to ships carrying vital cargoes for the United Nations.
