Civil War and having cut short his
college work at Dartmouth. He soon
became chief assistant engineer and
IN the late seventies built the Teha-
chaipi loop and sent the road % Los
Angeles. To make distance" Tor
gradual slope, Mr.. Hood twisted his
line in down-lanting loop com
p'etely around one Of the peaks, com
pleting the circles Of sevcn-tenths of
mile when the track crossed its
starting point in a tunnel az feet
below the upper level.
Later. when the Southern Pacific
wanted to get across the Salt Lake.
Mr.. Hood decided the cutoff could
be built at practicable cost, des.
pite other views held by ,thcr en-
gincers. He decided to cover eleven
miles Of the Lake with a trestle and
rear solid ridge Of earth across ths
rest Of IT, Despite the soft and
treachcrous botoom, the project was
completed in little more than a year.
An average Of LAO feet Of roadbed
was completed each day.
The crossing Of the Siskiyouz was
another problem solved by Mr. Hood.
His IS" line crosses the Sacramento
river eighteen times and passes
through sixteen tunnels, one 5000
feet long. The construction Of the
line between San Diego rad Arizos
ma involved cutting through Carriso
Gorge.
One of his greatest MS was COM
struction Of the Dur on cutoff
line which elimira freight
