The Copper River & Northwester!
” Ry. is perparing to handle a,n immense
copper tonnage during the coming win
ter and spring. For many month
past this road has been enjoying ai
era of great prosperity brought ahou
by the steady movement of the ret
j metal as well as a new industrial ac
itlvity along Its line. The roatf ha!
! been operated without serious delay)
(since December, 1913, the one excep
tion being the trouble caused by higl
water during the terrific hot spell ol
I July, which proved to be not at al
serious after the water had subsided.
The work of repairs was pushed with
all possible speed and the shipmentf
[ of copper were resumed early ir
August upon a larger scale than evet
before.
The railroad company has placed
an order for additional equipment to
meet growing traffic conditions. The
( flrRt order is for 15 box cars and three
special cook and caboose cars, the
order for these 18 cars being awarded
to the Seattle Car & Foundry Co.
for delivery this fall. The cook and
caboose cars are being built, upon en
tirely new and original design, being
, equipped as rotary tenders for prop
erly housing and raring for employees
and trainmen during any unusal trip
with the rotaries where there may be
danger of the men being kept out all
night from one of the main sta
tions. These cars are being fitted up
with large ranges and are so con
structed that quite a number of men
can be comfortably berthed and fed.
Supplies can be carried along suffi
cient for a week’s campaign, if neces
sary. Such equipment is needed in
Alaska where there is possibility of
the men being called upon for strenous
work and as there can be no delay,
extra crews must be taken along rc
act as relays.
The box cars ordered are of 100,000
tbs capacity, steel nnderframe and
roof and all standard specifications.
These box cars will be unique in one
respect, having on one side two large
doors, one near each end in place of
the ordinary one door in the center.
This is arranged so that sacked cop
per ore can be handled in and out
more quickly. Also loading can be
carried on at each door at the same
time. Box cars are used for this pur
pose owing to the importance or pro
tecting the sacks of ore from the
heavy snowfall.
To the American Locomotive Works
is awarded the contract for a new ro
tary and three new Mikado locomo
tives. The rotary will be of standard
design with a 12 ft. cut, 18 by 26 In.
cylinder, 9,000 gallon water tender and
when load will weigh 366,000 lbs.
It will be a coal burner. Coal will
be used in place of oil in this service
during the winler, fuel stored along
the entire road in convenient and
sheltered places. By the first of the
year it is expected that 6,000 tons coal
will have been distributed along the
entire length of the road for emer
gency use of the steam shovel crews.
" The three locomotives will have i
| 48 Inch wheel base, 20 by 28 Inc)
cylinder. They will be oil burner!
with a capacity of 3,00 gallons of oil
eight wheels and In working order wil
weigh 370,000 lbs. The company hat
several locomotives here which ar*
equipped to burn coal in service wit!
the rotaries and the new locomotives
are so arranged that thc-y can be east
ly converted should occasion require.
Meanwhile various other prv.oiu
tions are being taken by the company
, to Insure th esucessful operations ol
the road during the winter The last
two wintres have clearly demonstrated
'hat this railroad can be operated
thioughout the snow season with less
delay than might arise from damage
caused by excessive July heat, which
fact has reversed the opinion previous
ly held by experienced railroad men
that winter operations on an Alaskan
railroad were impossible. It is true
j that the two last seasons w’ere not
I quite as severe as many other win
■ ters and no person can suggest th
advance what weather conditions
migh be expected in this part of the
territory. The fact that the company
is going to so great an expense and
trouble to properly handle the traffic
over the road during the winter, is an
indication not only of the Importance
of this line as the most important
I tonnage producer In Alaska at the
i present time, hut it shows that its
owners have such faith In the country
I and its possibilities that nothing wilt
j be overlooked in maintaining the road
jto the highest standard of efficiency.
