The modernists believe that steam shovels are more effective and that they will do the job with greater neatness and dispatch. * _ "A‘ fine example of modern methâ€" ods of railroad construction is seen in the building of: the, new Skokie valley extension of the North Shore Line.> Work is now going forward not yet under a full head of steam, but with sufficient momentum to make a trip over the route of the new line one of great interest to the ordinary layman.| / _â€" _/ & Hundreds of Men and Much â€"Equipment Employed in ‘Building New Skokie Valley Branch Extension : .â€"|{â€" of North Shore Line; First Trains to | â€"«â€"â€"â€"â€" Run in June, 1926 going on, the writer made a trip along the route the other day. Small gangs of workmen were observed at seyâ€" eral points, but there were two chief centers of activity which were veritâ€" able bechives of industry. The first is located at Blodgett, directly west of Highland Park and the second south of Libertyville, where a great artiâ€" fifial lake is being created to provide filling material for the new line. | ~ "But the aiwn};g&? great lake &tis only a part, and the easiest part of the problem. â€" That gravel ‘When excavatetâ€"has to be transported ten or fiftcen milés to the point where it is needed. Imagine ¢t the job would have meant in old : days _ "To the construction engineer the digging of the bed of the proposed lake is no ‘:\?bt a simple matter. To the ordinary layman, however, it looks like a big job. The problem itself seems }imple ‘enough. About 400,000 cubic yards of gravel will be needed to fill in on low places on the new‘ line to bring it up to grade. Where could this amount of filling material{be found? On.a large farm near Libertyyille there is a low spot where the drainage is not as good as on the rest of the farm. The idea was conceived to create a li.]kn at. that point and ‘us¢ the gravel from the lake bed for filling in the low places on the.railroad. The owner wished a lake on his‘farm, the railroad néeded 400,000 cubic feet of gravel. The conâ€" struction engineers were told to fill wants of both.. That is their job and "Wishing to learn firstâ€"hand what is Construction Camp at Blodgett with picks and shovels and the transâ€" portation was by dump carts drawn by ~horses and mules. And among us today are some who deplore the modern tendency to form large organâ€" iztations, which increases production and lowers its cost, and who sigh for the: ‘good old days‘ of individual . efâ€" To transport the gravel it was necessary to build a temporary railâ€" road and owing to local conditions that railroad was required to circle several miles from the direct course to connect with the existing line at Mundelein. ‘You see we had to go around ‘this way more than three miles,‘ said Superintendentâ€"Rich in explaining to the writer. To Mr. Rich it meant very little. The thing had to be done and he was" there to see that it was done in the shortest time possible. ; N t "‘It‘s a simple matter,‘ continued Mr. Rich. ‘The digging is easy. That little shovel: you see at work will load ©2,000 yards a day. We‘ll have morelike it when we get fairly goâ€" ing. Our hauling equipment will be 8 locomotives and 110 m dump cars. We have just f buildâ€" ing that large water tank for our loâ€" comotives. All our engines are oilâ€" burning so we don‘t have to store coal. We have about 450 men at work now at this point and about 800 at Blodgett and tnat number will be increased." « "One feature connected with the work of which the engineers seem particularly proud are the camps proâ€" vided for the housing and feeding of the workmen. At the camp at Blodâ€" gett the office and camp manager, E. J. Cole, was anxious that â€"we should see the mess hall. He said it was an improvement over the one established on the Niles Center extenâ€" gion, in that the kitchen was fully equipped with all the latest laborâ€" saving devices. "An inspection of the kitchen jusâ€" tified his enthusiasm* It was as clean whenâ€" laborers did the excavation and spick as any housswife‘s kitchen and installed in it were a number of devices which the average housewife would envy.> Owing to insufficient light it was not possible to get a photograph of the kitchen as we were not provided with. flashlight photoâ€" graphic equipment on the occasion of cur visit.
