RAILROAD ON PONTOONS
Marvelous Peat of Engineering on
Mississippi River.
A railroad that floats is a carious
feat of engineering to be
seen at Marquette, Iowa. The
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. "Paul
railway crosses the Mississippi
from . Marquette to Prairie du
Chien, Wis., there. Midway in the
Mississippi at this point are a i
number of islands which divide
he river into an east and west
channel, both navigable by steamers.
A pile bridge extends over
these islands and a part of the
way into either channel. Similar
-actions of pile bridge are built
>ut from either shore. Between
these pile bridge sections in either
:hannel is a gap about 450 feet in
which float great pontoons bearing
railroad tracks on the upper
deck. These pontoons are hinged
rt one end to the pile bridge.
When a steamer wishes to pass.
<be pontoon is swung wide open
by electric power from dynamos

Following the passage of the
steamer the pontoon is closed ami
ocked at the free end to the pile
bridge. There is then a continuous
railroad from shore to shore.
A remarkable feature of the
pontoons is the way they are
uilt to meet the contingency of.
he rise and fall of the riverj
Whether the river is high or low
obviously the railroad must remain
at the same level. This was
accomplished by building the ponoons
so that the hull may rise
ml fall while the tracks above
remain at the same position. From
I'loor of the hull columns of rectangular
blocks rise. On the tops
of these columns are the railroad
i ies carrying the tracks. The
docks are removable. When the
iver is rising blocks to correspond
in thickness to the number
of inches rise in the river are removed.
The railroad tracks by
electric hoists are momentarily
suspended in the air while the
blocks are being removed. When
he i4ver falls blocks are put hack
n as is necessary.
