According to advices received by<
the News from Br'dge Kngineer F. I
H. Chapin, who is in charge of till {
bridges and work of a like nature
on the government railroad, the |
first steel bent of the big viaduct at ■
Riley Creek has been placed in post- <
tion. marking tts beginning of i
operations in connection with the |
erection of the structure which will |
span the gap at that point, of which |
Riley creek forms a small part.
A gang of about 30 men, under]
Bridge foreman James McGill, is
engaged in the erection of the struc
ture and it is confidently expected ]
that by about the end of February
trains will be run over it.
Nearly all of the material for the
big structure has been received.
There are about three carloads
more to come, but Mr. Chapin is
hopeful of being able to continue j
operations In spite of snow condi-1
tions along the road south of Riley,
which might possibly delay the ar
rival of the balanec of the steel.
Road conditions permitting, the rest
of the material will be delivered
during the coming week, with the
exception of two pieces of steel
which were bent enroute and which
must be straightened before they
can be put in place. It is believed
this work can bo done in Anchorage i
without serious delay.—Nenana
