Goktelle Bridge Builders Tie Burma Silk Road Feat
A 35 man American crew completed Asia’s highest and longest railroad bridge spanning the Goktelk gorge in Burma. They transported 5,000 tons of metal, used a 785 foot traveler, and hammered in 200,000 rivets by hand amid rains, snakes, and altitude cold. The project cost about 700000 dollars and proved Yankee ingenuity worldwide.
