OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 23.-The old
steel bridge of the Union Pacific
railway over the Missouri river be
tween Omaha and Council Bluffs,
which had been in service for 80
years, was today removed and re-
placed by a new steel bridge which
had been built on false work along
side the old. The actual operation
Of removing the old bridge, which
weighed 100000 pounds. and put
ting in place the new, which
weighed II, 10000 pounds, required
Is minutes, four and one-half sec
onds for removal of the old. and
ten and one-half minutes 10 replace
it with the new. Fi'I hosting en-
gines. equipped with block and
tackle were used. Union Pacific Of
ficials said the work was an unusual
engineering feat.
The work of removal began at
1910 o'clock in the morning with
200 men and was finished at $40 in
the afternoon. Delay was occasioned
by the breaking Of lashings. An
hour after the new bridge was in
place trains were running over it.
This is the third bridge across the
Missouri on the same site. A certain
historical interest attaches to the
place for it was here that pioneers
first crossed the river on a fatboat.
