Interesting Work At Railroad Tracks In Graettinger Iowa
The Nikol Construction Company of Dytesville Iowa digs under railroad tracks in Graettinger using a two cylinder Wisconsin engine with an auger bit. A tractor loader braces the setup, pushing the bucket against a block to support the auger and casing, with the crew noting straightness depends on auger speed. If large rocks halt progress, casing and bit are pulled back to remove the obstacle and restart.
