FLOOD DAMAGE IS GREAT jl
TRAIN SCHEDULE UPSET I
While details regarding the dam-'
age sustained by the Alaska Rail- i
road as a result of the heavy rains :
of last week are not yet obtainable,
owing to interrupted telephone ser- :
vice information obtained by The .
News indicates the property loss is
a serious one, by far the heaviest
thus far sustained on the Interior
; end of the railroad.
i The main portion of the big per- ]
: manent truss bridge at Ferry, where 1
the railroad crosses the Xenana riv
er, is said to be a complete wreck.
i with the main span lodged against
'the bank of the river 1,000 feet
below the crossing, and a large part
: of the north approach to the bridge
washed away, including the section
mess hall.
I
As previously reported by The <
News, the branch line bridge near
Healy, also was wrecked by the
flood, as well as a small bridge on
• the main line near Cantwell. Some
damage also was done to the grade
a short distance south of Nenana,
1 where the flood waters left the chan
, ! nel and covered the surrounding
country.
Fortunately the collapse of the
Ferry bridge found two piledrivers
south of the river, one of which
was rushed to Cantwell and the
other to Ferry, at which latter place
the driving of piling was started
yesterday afternoon.
A work train was sent to Ferry
this morning from Nenana. with a
piledriver which was brought from
the new Fairbanks line. This will
be set up immediately and the work
of driving piling form the north
side of the river will be rushed at
top peed under ~the drection of
Foreman Sid Sheldon.
The Tuesday train from the coast
was cancelled when the extent of
the damage was ascertained, but it
is understood a train will leave Sew
ard on Thursday as usual. The pas
sengers and mail will be transferred
at Ferry until such time as trains
can begin to cross the river.
The regular train from Fairbanks,
which would have arrived at Nenana
shortly before noon ordinarily, will
make a round trip during the night
„ arriving here sometime before mid
-i . .
s night.
