TILL AT MILE 34
EASILY MADE
In making the extensive line change*
at Mile IM, where the original tangent
is carried out as surveyed by the Alas
ka Central, but afterward abandoned
when no foundation could be found for
piling, the engineer in charge of this
division has achiever with a minimum
of cost what his predecesors on the
Alaska Northern figured could notibe
accomplished without enormous ex
po nse.
The fill across the upper arm of
Trail lake which straightens out the
track is not so expensive as several
fills on the Mile 12 hill, for the mud
bottom developed solidity under pres
sure and the heavy rock used in the
fill is holding up well.
• < 1
When the first constructors stance
across this opening they used a pilej
driver and undertook to trestle it, but
the muck would not hold a pile and 80
foot timbers driven in four bents
would not support the weight of the
pi led river.

TRAFFIC Off
TOR ffW DAYS
Traffic over the line to Mile 71 will
have to take a secondary place to re
construction work for the balance of
the season as the line has been broken
at several places to allow for new
work.
No trains can pass Mile 54 until the
3000-foot trestle on which work was
started Monday morning, is completed.
Spencer creek will have a chance to
run where it pleases after this trestle
is driven. When the special train
came across Spencer flats Sunday the
stream was busily depositing gravel
over the track north of Placer river
and it is now three feet deep on the
rails at one spot.
The grade of the new trestle will be
sufficiently high to give clearance for
the water and if necssary riprapped
bulkheads will be used to establish
channels where the stream carries the
most gravel.
At Mile 45 a big shot was fired since
Monday to secure material for a fill
which will replace another trestle and
the track is blocked again at Mile 34
where a steam shovel is cut in and ap
proaches to the newly-driven trestles
and bridges in that section are being
filled.
