THE TERMINAL
SURFACING CREW
LEFT FOB FRONT
TFie longest train to leave Nenana
since steel was laid south of town,
pulled out this morning, taking the
new surfacing gang, to be known
hereafter as Surfacing Gang No. 2,
to their new camp site at the per
manet siding a couple of miles be
yond the old engineering camp at
35-Mile.
The train consisted of thirty cars.
I composed of the bunk, mess, kitch
en, office and supply cars of the
surfacing outfit, several carloads of
icordwood, a repair car, and the
.caboose.
, The Bucyrus steam shovel, which
will work in connection with the
’ gravel trains and the surfacing
t gang, was sent ahead yesterday, and
; when the men of the new gang
reach their destination a consider
i able portion of the preparatory work
will have been accomplished and
they will be able to commence oper
ations almost immediately after ths
i train comes to a stop at the camp
ing grounds.
The' two big locomotives which
will work in the surfacing opera
tions—the 208 and 239—-will re
main at the front till the work has
been completed.
The gang sent out today will im
mediately proceed to ballast and
surface the roadbed beyond the old
camp at 35-Mile, and will work
toward the Nenana crossing at 43
Mile, and w-ill, as rapidly as possi
ble, put the road in shape for heavy
traffic. This part of the road is said
to have suffered most when the frost
went out of the ground, rendering
it unsafe for the heavy locomotives.
After completing this portion of
the road, the gang will return to
35-Mile and will work toward town
as far as the Jap roadhouse. The
surfacing operations from this point
on up to town will be performed
by Surfacing Gang No. 1, working
in conjunction with the Bucyrus
dragline excavator.

! command of Captain Smvthe, ar
rived in port this afternoon with |
a small quantity of freight for local;
