Re: [CBQ] Something old

[STEVEN HOLDING <sholding@sbcglobal.net>]

Thanks Rupert
The CB&Q was one of the earliest user of Concrete and some of the article you 
can find are of making, and setting Concrete Piles for bridges and trestles.  A 
lot of trestles were filled with concrete pipe in the bottom for drainage.
