He railroading business have
te him Into manv lobs and
fc dirabs since he started out
i rod man for the Chicago
I Western.
W. like a lot of other re
tans, was born in Iowa. He
got a bachelor's degree in civil
engineering at Highland park
college in Des Moines. Three years
after he went to the Chicago Great
Western to help measure distances
and angles, he moved up to the
rank of assistant engineer.
After that things came fast. He
became roadmaster, general sup
erintendent of construction and
finally division engineer for the
Rock Island and Pacific.
Then he went to Panama where
in various capacities between 1906
and 1909 he helped to turn the
Panama railroad into an instru
ment of aid in the construction
of the Panama canal.
Next he moved to the railroad
triumvirate of the Oregon trunk,
Spokane, Portland and Seattle and
the Spokane and Inland Empire.
In 1913, he began his connection
with the Great Northern as chief
engineer, and successively served
as assistant to President Carl R.
Gray, executive vice president and
president. He moved over to the
presidency of the Chicago, Burl
ington and Quincy, an affiliate of
the Great Northern, in 1931.
But before then he had helped
to push the longest railroad tunnel
ever built through almost eight
miles of solid granite in the Cas
cade range. Two crews dug and
laid track form opposite sides of
a high mountain. When they
finally met in the middle of the
mountain, the two lines of track
were only nine inches apart and
there was only three inches dif
ference in the grade.
After he went to the Burlington,
he helped to put through the idea
of fast trains of the new "super" ,
era. The mile-a-minute zephyr, i
glistening train of stainless steel,!
went into service in 1934.
The United States is not the
first government he has been
asked to advise. In 1930, he went
to Russia to spend 73 days and
travel 16,000 miles making a sur
vey of the Russian railroad system
at the request of the U. S. S. R.
