At present, freight cars come to Jacksonville from j ail over the United States, and many: of these s are forwarded to various points In- t& State without feeing unloaded by the consignees in Jacksonville.

Work on the inew bridge was start ed by the Phoenix Bridge Company Sent-13, 1904, at the same time that the work of removing the old struc ture was begun," and as fast as . the spans of the new bridge were built. the old spans were removed. In this way traffic on the road continued prac tically uninterrupted. The bridge is exactly 1,848 feet, 3 and 5-16 inches long, and the work of rebuilding and removal has pro gressed at the.. ?ate of one span every two weeks. I . The eld- bridge was built by the same company in 18.83, 'At that time the heaviest engine on the road weighed about 150,000 pounds, . Since then locomotives have hen increased both In power and weight, and the bridge was built to stand the strain not- only of locomotives: in present use, but any that may be built in the future, and with, a special calculation for any Incidental weight or strain that the! structure might be called on to bear.: ,4' ' ' - .- Technically the bridge Is known as the "B. 40" type. ' It is tested to car ry two ! locomotives 'reach weighing 284,000 pounds, a combined weight of 568,000. with ah - additional tes,t of from fifty , to eighty po cent, added for shocks caused by impact on the bridge,, wpen trains are moved sud' denly or meet In coupling. j - - Especial attention was given to the towers,' both for strength and dura bility, and the builders and owners now sayi the bridge is not only amply able to carry -the heaviest train that it migiit have j tot hold," but is also able to bear a; train of the heaviest locomotives qsed; in the United States.
