Mountain Cable Way Bails Rock Mountain Work For St Paul Line
General Manager Battin of Winston Bros reports from Taft that the St Paul line construction proceeds in splendid shape despite extreme difficulties. A mile long electric cable way hauls 1 1/2 inch cable and uses clutches and chains to lift timber over the Bitter Root divide 1100 feet high. Twenty bridges and trestles rise 125 to 200 feet, with two steel cement structures. 500 carloads of timber were shipped from the Pacific coast for the job. Workmen operate on both sides of the Taft tunnel as spring delivers the meeting of forces.
