Significant progress on new bridge
When the Bulletin featured this new railway bridge less than a month ago only the reinforced concrete piers were in evidence. Now the main steel bearers of Bridge 169 are in place straddling the Ohakune Mountain Road and the Mangawhero River. The old bridge and Main Trunk Line.are seen on right of picture. Earthworks which can be seen beyond the new bridge are in preparation for the new track alignment. To ensure more efficient use of the heavier and faster electric locomotives it has been necessary to strengthen some of the bridges and eliminate some of the sharper curves on the Main Trunk Line.
