OF the wreck at 2:30 O'Clock this az
ternoon that the combined pull OF a
locomotive. drawing on block and
tackle. was unable to move the chair
car. The hoisting strength, togcth-
or with tho engine pull and the
weight of the chair car above the
fulcrum vas estimated at 650000
pounds.
In the face of this handicap IL was
decided to continue work on the
new Colo Creek bridge from both
en6s. When this is completed Il will
enable tho company to place tho 65-
ton crane on the bridge directly over
the chaircar and move the 150-ton
crane to tho track in the creek bed
where its hoisting power can be
exerted to better advantage. With
the aid OF the engine It may then be
possible to move the car.
Tho failure of equipment today to
meet the emergency means that the
wrecking work Will be delayed furth.
