Famous Bridge
Builder Takes
Railroad Post
Joseph B. Strauss of Chicago, one of (
| America's foremost bridge buildeis,
will on January 1, become consulting
engineer for the Alaska railroad, ac_
cording to announcement made today
by Col. Lee H. Landis general mana
ger of the railroad.
' In making kncwn th^ appointment
of Mr Strauss, Colonel Landis said
the distinguished engineer will not
be stationed here permanently, but the
railroad will have first call on his ser
| vices at any time. Mr. Strauss will
i come north early in the new >eai, ac
j cording to his present plans, for a
thorough inspection of the line. At
lhat time it is expected that the rail
road tie problem will be taken up and
1 the kind of ties to be used on the
" ! road in the future d°lided upon. One
j of the biggest items of expense in the
i railroad maintenance costs is for ties
and Colonel Landis said that Mr
Strauss’ suggestions on this questior
will be a big value in determining the
kind, size and type of tie to be used
It is understood the railroad engi
nearing toree is iu ue m»icuau.» in
duced. in the interests of economy and
because no extensive new construction
is being planned at thl stime.
The selection of Mr. Straus as a
consulting engineer for the railroad
was brought about after the exchange
of considerable correspondence on his
appointment. The railroad has been
trying to obtain Mr. Strauss’ sendees
for some weeks but notice that he
would accept was not received until
today.
Strauss is best known in American
engineering circles as a designer of
movable bridges, and is regarded as
an authority in this field. He has de
veloped and built some of the-world’s
most notable bridges and originated
the Straus trunnin bascule bridge
and the Strauss direct-lift bridge,
which have come into general use
j throughout the world He is the in
! ventor of the Strauss yielding barrier,
i which has solved the grade-crossing
! problem. He designed and built the
j aeroseope at the Panama-Pacific ln_
! .“'ernational exposition at San Francis
• co, 1915, and the portable searchlights
[ employed by the United states and
; Russian governments during the world
! war. He designed and built the first
: reinforced concrete freight car in
), 1919. and the first bascule doorhangei
| for the United States postal service.
Strauss has just completed at Vic
’ toria, B. CL, one of the largest bridges
: In the northwest, for the Canadiar
i Pacific railway company and a similai
* bridge designed by hint is being buill
I at Vancouver. He also is the engi
I neer for the proposed San Francisco
; Marin county bridge, known as “Thf
l Golden Gate bridge.”
