TO COMPLETE THE NORTU BANK
Last Lap of the Road la From Paaco
tO SpokUIia.
The Pasco Express says of the be
ginning of work on the last lap of the
North Eank railroad from Pasco to
Epokano:
Few people In Pasco realised yes
terday morning that a new epoch was
taking place in the history of the lit
tle town that is destined to become a
city within the next few years, yot
such was the case.
Without any sounding of brass or
blare of, trumpets, tracklaylng com
menced yesterday morning from the
material yards at the edge of town,
with a tracklaylng train. and a crew of
200 men, on the east division of the
Spokane. Portland ft Seattle railroad,
under the Porter Bros, contract. Fore
man McCarthy Is overseeing the work
under Superintendent Pratt.
In speaking of the work, the engi
neer in charge, D. ,S. Smith, informed
an Express reporter, who was on the
ground, that when completed the road
from Spokane to Portland, would be
one of the finest In the entire world.
The railroad will be rock ballasted.
The rails of 85-pound steel are secured
to each tie by a reinforced piece of
Iron that clamps the rail and la Im
bedded In the ties, thus protecting the
any spread of the raila that ' might
otherwise occur.
With the present outfit and crew.
tracklaylng will be carried on at the
rate of two miles a day, and all the
latest Improvements In track con
struction that scientific research has
brought out is being used, both In ma
terial and construction.
To those who heretofore have seen
no tracklaylng the rapidity of the
work of the machinery and men is as
tonishing. For several car lengths a
roller track Is arranged alongside the
train onto which are placed ties that
are carried from the rear to the front
in a continuous streams as though
they were floated through a flume to
the point of operation, where they are
discharged like coba from a corn
sheller.'
At this point a sufficient number of
men are employed to keep them clear
ed away and placed in position. The
little engine on the forward car that
works this machinery also handles
the steel rails from a crane made for
the purpose.
A locomotive near the center of the
train Is used, for drawing power and
Is almost constantly on the move,
pushing forward and pulling the con
structlon train, so rapidly Is the track
laying done. In the rear of the train
another crew Is kept busy adjusting
the ties and rails to their proper place
and fastening the mdown. The bal
last crews are yet to follow, when that
portion of the road will be completed
