Abstract:
The C.C.C. & St. L. Ry. abandoned the use of stone masonry for bridge construction about 25 years ago, and although some concrete was placed in the early nineties, it was not used to any great extent until 1902, at which time there was inaugurated a comprehensive program of reconstruction and extension of lines, which has since been carried on, from year to year, almost uninterruptedly.
