0054.0556: Robson

Donkey engine used to transfer barges.

            The laying of rails from Brooklyn to Robson has been begun and the line is now covered with contractors from Brooklyn to Cascade City.  The whole line presents a scene of the greatest activity, and so it will remain especially in the vicinity of the big tunnel, three miles from Brooklyn.  This great undertaking will be 3000 feet through solid rock, making a passage 16x23 feet, clean through the mountain.  The big tunnel is about three miles from Brooklyn.
