WORLDS LONGEST
BRIDGE is IN UTAH
RAILROAD CROSSES SALT
LAKE ON TRESTLE TWEEN
TY MILES IN LENGTH.

The longest bridge ever construct
ed is to be found at Salt Lake, Utah,
where the tracks OF the Southern Pa
cihc railway cross the lake on a typi-
cal American timber trestle 20 miles
long. Originally this bridge was %
miles long but miles of the trestle
have been replaced by a fill Of rock,
dirt and cinders.
Officially this bridge is called the
Great Salt Lake cutoff OF the South
ern Pacific road. 1t is railway line
laid in an old lake bed from Lucin to
Ogden, Utah, 1903 miles. Part of this
lake bed is dry. Part in under water.
The part that is under water is an arm
of Great Salt Lake.
The cutoff is as straight as the
crow flies. An air line would not
shorten the 1913 miles a third of a
mile. 1t was built to save the greater
grades and curves and distance of the
old line. The curves the new line
saves would turn a train around IL
times. The power saved i'll moving an
average freight train because of less
grades would lift an average man g.
500 miles Enough power is saved in
moving such train over the shorter
distance to carry a man 400 times be-
tween New York and San Francisco.
The aim Of the chief engineer of the
bridge was to try to build mile and
quarter OF trestle a week-more
than 1000 feet for each working day.
In June, 1902 trainloads of steel rails
! reached the lake. In July came the
first piles. Many of the latter were so
long that three cars had to be chain
ed together to carry them. Three
| thousand men were at work In the
cold OF winter and the heat of sum
mer there was no stopping. Steadily
the great railway grew. Each day the
pile drivers made hundreds OF yards.
Each day the pit men loaded hundreds
| of cars of gravel-rsometimes 400 cars.
TIT was an army at work in salt des-
ert. Sixteen hundred rand eighty tons
OF fresh water swere used each day.
! All Of it was brought many miles by
train-some of it 80 miles, some $50
miles
More piles came. All told, 1926
trees were cut down to make piles for
the great trestle A forest of two
square miles was transplanted into
Great Salt Lake. Placed end to end
these piles would make a great tree
that, fallen, would reach from Chica-
go to Buffalo On several occasions
the piles were driven so fast that the
trestle grew at the rate of LAO feet
day. On November IS, 1908, the
track from the east and the track
from the west were joined in the cen
ter of the lake. The great bridge
across the lake is now a solid path
except for 20 miles. If no one told
you differently you would not know
that these 20 miles were on a trestle,
for the roadbed is as firm as if on sol
id ground
