train" a travel pretty much as
the crow flies, over any kind Of
terrain except solid rock or soft
swamp. Under favorable CONT
tions it can lay several miles of
cable a day. For the most part,
the cables are buried to a depth of
about 80 inches, except where var
iations in the condition of the soil
or the character of the route make
it necessary or desirable to vary
this depth. When crossing a road
for example, the depth of the
trench may be increased to rs
much as 48 inches. Occasionally,
if the structure of the soil requir-
es it, the cable reels are detached
from the pillow, which goes ahead
to dig the trench, then returns to
lay the cables during a second trip
or another pillow may precede the
cable-laying train which follows
the same furrow.
To protect the cables further,
the route follows a carefully sell
ected private right of way, avoid
ing highways.
In the past IL years, heavy ice
storms in the region west of ON
aha have given considerable trou-
BILE to telephone lines, producing
many a glaze or coating of ice on
the wires that was picturesque but
bad for communication facilities.
Burieu wires escape this trouble,
but may face new problems under
ground. On the Omaha-D Denver
section, for example, it has been
considered desirable to gopher
proof" the cables by winding a
steel tape between the lead sheath
and the outer covering of asphalt
ed jute.
The number of wires in the two
cables will vary in different sec
tons of the route, averaging be-
tween two and three hundred for
the two cables together. The l.
600 miles of twin cables will have
a total weight of about $4,000 tons
and will contain nearly half a mil
lion miles of wire. The cables VIII
