Northern Pacific Railway upgrades aging line and bridges
The Northern Pacific advances a major modernization across the Rocky Mountain division including replacing old wooden trestles with steel bridges, rebuilding curves and reducing grades. The work shifts to culverts and filling to support heavier locomotives and longer trains, with Bearmouth gravel pit supplying ballast for over 200 miles of track and work trains maintaining constant movement and safety.
