Which is a merit of bull-headed rails?
Question

Which is a merit of bull-headed rails?

A.

B.H. rails are of more strength and stiffness.

B.

These rails require light maintenance cost.

C.

Removal of tracks is easy with the use of these rails.

D.

B.H. rails require no additional cost of iron chairs.

Correct option is C

Bull-headed (B.H.) rails have a nearly symmetrical head and foot, and they are commonly supported on cast iron chairs. One of their key merits is that track removal and replacement become easier, because the rail is not directly spiked to sleepers but seated in chairs.
