RAILWAY TRACKS
LINES BEING OVERHAULED (British Official News.) Press Association—By Wireless—Copyright. RUGBY, February 2. As a sequel to the disaster at Sevenoaks and the other two derailments which occurred last year, and were ascribed officially to track defects, a wholesale overhaul of large sections of the permanent way of the Southern Railway is to be undertaken. Special attention is being paid to boat routes and to those sections where the speed of the expresses reaches sixty or seventy miles an hour. Reconstruction of the parts of the line which had been ranch affected by the rainy weather of last summer was begun seme months ago, and by the end of 1928 it is estimated that nearly 400 miles of tracks will have been relaid.
