MAKING 4 TUNNEL
The Way Railroad Engineers Bore
Through . Mountain.

Inc way daHro10 Engineers 6ofo
Through . Mountain.
Sometimes the construction engineer
brings his new line face to face with
mountain too steep to be easily
mounted. ard then he prepares to
pierce 1t. Tunnels are not pleasant to
ride through. They are. moreover.
feaFfHily exPenAive to construct. ana
they necessitate double inspection.
Eut--and the but" In this case Is 4
very large one-they reduce grades
and distances in wholesale fashion.
and SO in mountainous country the
engineer must be prepared to drive
tunnels aud the folk who come after
him to %, rate them. The tunnel Job
Is apt to be separate part of the
work 1t calls for its own expert tai
ent.
II the tunnel is more than a half or
thrce-qunrfers Of mile long 1t will
probably be dug from shaft or shafts
as well as from its portals. In this
way the work will not only be greatly
hastenctl. but the shafts will continue
in use after II Is completed as vents
for the discharge Of engine smoke and
gases from, the tube.
The ordinary course Of such work II
by the use of cutting shields proceed
Ing simultaneously from the portals
and from the foe-dngs Of the shafts.
These shields are to be likened to
steel rings Of circumference only
slightly greater than that Of the I'M
ished tunnel. Men working on differ
ent levels OF this shield with pick and
with drill and dynamite constantly
clear path for it. whereupon 1t Is
pressed forward. Tracks follow the
cutting shield. and more locomotives.
steam Or electric. are used in remov-
ing the material. The use Of electric
ity keeps the tunnel quite clear OF
gases and makes the safest light for
the workers.
In rare cases the rock through which
the tunnel Is bored is strong enough
to support itself. But IN most cases
the engineers prefer to line the bore
with brick. as rule. and this lining
Is set In place right in the path Of the
cutting shield. After long weeks and
perhaps months Of work the time
comes when the different bores meet
and the tunnel Is q single underground
tube from portal to portal.
