The Editor of the Railway and
Marine News is a cheerful writer and
this is the way he views the recent
troubles along the line of the Copper
River & Northwestern Railroad:
‘ Every railroad man in the coun
! try who appreciatec climatic troubles
causing railroad difficulties will sym
pathize with Superintendent George
Geiger of the Copper River Route in
| Alaska. The season of 1912 has
been an off one. possibly due to the
change in the Japan current and the
eruption of Mount Katmai. At all
events the road has had an unusal
experience. In the summer tne gla
cial lake below Miles Glacier broke
! and flooded a stretch of two or three
j miles of track below that point. Then
| came the heaviest August and Sep
tember rains ever known to Alaska
! which washed out the heavy side-hill
embankments in the canyon and
caused a three weeks’ delay. Lastly
came the ice from the upper Copper,
which jammed at the Chitina bridge
and took out three bents. But the
plucky superintendent kept right on
working and smiling and the road is
still open and bringing down rich
loads of high grade copper. No
person seems discouraged and all
claim that it will be but a matter of
time when the roadbed settles and
operations will not be further de
layed by landslides or the like.”
