ARR ASKS BIDS FOR
BANK WIDENING
The Alaska Railroad this week
sent out requests for bids on 144
miles of bank widening—the back
bone of this year’s extensive re
habilitation program.
A record number of prospective
bidders will receive .the requests,
the railroad's engineers said.
r
The frank widening work includes
ballasting, replacing old ties, fill
ing sags and making line changes.
Extent of the work can he gath
ered from the fact that nearly
2,000,000 cubic yards of earth must
he moved by ARR work trains. This
is a weight of almost 4,000.000 tons
to he hauled and placed.
Bids will he opened April 11 at
2 p.m.
The prospective contractors will
i place their bids on a progressive
basis. This is so because the pro
gram is split into six priorities, de
pendng on the amount of money j
rtVailable. Thirty per cent of the
work must be completed this year; ;
70 per cent in 1950.
Second phase of this year’s new
, work program will be 101 miles of
rail relaying. Worn 70-pound steel
will be replaced with new 115
pound track. Requests for bids will
be sent out shortly for this job.
New plant construction—on the
drawing boards—will depend on
granting of funds. Track work is
priority No. 1 with plant construc
tion next.
Maximum corn yeilds can be ob
tained from three stalks per hill.

Unloaded and ©ml
Irucks now roll with case in and out
of the Alaska Terminal a. Pier 42 in
Seattle.
"I his port facility with its two mam
moth transit buildings is among the most
modern on the Pacific Coast and is par
ticularly well suited for Alaska traffic.
New streamlined efficiency has been
added to the operation of the Alaska
Terminal by the recently inaugurated
system of scheduled deliveries which ex
pedites freight handling by pre-arrang
ing delivery time for every shipper.
Trucks now arrive, discharge their
shipments quickly at one of thirty-six
delivery platforms, and leave the ter
minal with a minimum of delay. Long
waiting periods so common before tlie
new facilities were opened have been
virtually eliminated.
Orderly and efficient handling is as
sured for the machinery . . . the tools. . .
and the supplies that are the lifeblood
of the Territory.
This is another of the many things
The Alaska Line has done to make its
l
service as effective and economical as
possible.
