iraMOTi â- HP RAILROADS RESCUED BY ARMY ENGINEERS * » > Allied bombing effort has been heavily concentrated on en«- my rail trarsporc to prevent the Germans from bringing up troops and supplies. Because we need rail lines, too, repairs must b« made quickly and effectively as soon as our forces capture rail- road objectives smashed by our own aviation and by Nazi demoli- tion squads. This series of paintings is symbolic of the work Arjiy Engineers are doing in France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany today. 1. Two of four spans of a huge concrete railroad bridge were demolished by retreating Germans at Pompey, France, thus de- stroying a vital link in an essential railroad needed to supply troopi assaulting the German West Wall. Men and equipment have already begun repairs. 2. The workhorse of the Army Engmeers â€" the bulldozer â€" i« on the job. Rock and earth to be used as foundation for a new wooden pier, imder construction nearby, is being "bulldozed" leveL 3. To speed bridge construction and to meet stern deadline!, various units work simultaneously on different phases of the re- construction job. Here one group builds a timber trestle, and a pneumatic cJt'U operator works in foreground. After bulldozers finish dumping earth and stone into the raging river below, a hugs crane will be brought up, to lift giant metal beam3 into place. Pneumatic drill teams will fasten sections of the beam together while prefabricated pier is lowered onto foundation. 4. Trains roll again over the completed bridge. In a few short days, Army Engineers using the best and biggest equipment in the world, have nullified the work of expert German demolitionists. AND THAT'S DIGGING, BROTHER Palm trees in the photo above are monuments to the achievement of Air Forces engineers in building air bases on Saipan Island. Trees, standing on what was once the surface of the ground, have been left high and dry by removal of millions of tons of coral rock for roads and airstrips. They now carry electric wires 75 feet above the quarry floor. Note size of man, indicated by arrow.
