WBRIDGB MOVED
TO NEW POSITION
Huge Structure Shifted in
Three Minutes.
Interesting Feat Of Engineering Ac-
comPlished by the Pennsylvania
Road at the Raritan River.

NEW BRUNSWICK, y. J., May "a
The bridge Of the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad
across the Raritau River and the draw
at the western end OF the bridge over
the Delaware and Raritan Canal were
moved Saturday afternoon TO make roorl
for new stone bridge which is TO take
their place The cid structures are of
steel Preparations for the moving had
been going on for more than three
months The actual moving time was
less than three minutes.
The object was 70 move the bridge
from It's connections with the tracks
on either side OF the river II feet E
inches down stream, to connect with
new rails, without delaying a single
train or disaTTanging the schedule in
any way. The bridge and draw are
about 800 feet long. The weight OF the
two structures together. according TO
the engineers figures, IS !. 836 tons.
Method Of Moving.
Under the structure. on the five bridge
piers and ore draw pier. rails were
placed and rollers fixed for the bridge
to glide upon. To supply the motive
power seven stationary engines we're
employed. Everything was ready for
the moving at 1908. when No. 234. the
last train TO cross the bridge in its old
position, was due. The train was
slightly behind time. and the signal to
start the engines was not given until
I2.I3-45.
Immediately after the train had passed
the rails we're cut on either end Of the
bridge and the draw cast loose. Jacks
we're used TO overcome the friction in
starting the structure. and then the en-
Eines pulled simultaneously for about a
minute. in which time the bridge was
pulled more than two-thiTds of the way
over. After a pause Of forty seconds the
signal to start was again given. IN one
minute and forty-three seconds after the
original signal the western end was in
place. II took two minutes and fifty-fve
seconds to line IN on the opposite end.
and eight minutes after train No. 234
had pulled across the bridge in its old
resting place the rails had been con
nected at the new junction on the banks.
At l2.5G extra freight 1882 ran across
the shifted bridge. and at I2.44 passen-
ger train 62. known as the Atlantic
Coast Line. went across, eastbound. one
