Rail communication between Ne
nana and the end of steel was re
stored yesterday by the completion
of the bridge at Nenana crossing,
and the first through train since
j early last spring was sent to Healy
today, carrying passengers and
freight.
The bridge was only partially de
I molished .by high water, following
tiie breakup last spring, but no at
tempt was made to drive new piling,
• owing to the presence of high water
throughout a large part of the sum
mer and the danger of losing the
structure a second time. Communi
cation was maintained by means of
a temporary cable footbridge until
4a few days ago, when the commis
sion’s new aerial tram was installed.
Today’s train reached Healy at
noon and started back an hour later.
