This was a convenient formulation, especially when rails were manufactured to sizes of 11, 12, or 14 yards. Before the days of mechanized track laying, it was common to see track laid where the sleeper density was not uniform, with some bunching up of sleepers towards the end of each rail, with adjacent sleepers at the ends of neighbouring rails being less than a foot apart in some cases.
