Harrison, Co-Pastors New Santa Fe Bridge Speeds War Traffic Santa Fe trains are now rolling across a new double-track steel bridge over the Colorado River near Topock, Arizona, speeding up vital war traffic along the route to Tokyo through California's ports of war. This new Santa Fe bridge removes the "bottle-neck" created by the old single-track bridge it replaces and has ample strength to take care of future requirements as to weights to be imposed on it. • The new Topock bridge is an impressive engineering feat, but it is only one step in Santa Fe's program of plant improvement—started long before Pearl Harbor. These improvements have speeded up war traffic today, and they will enable a higher standard of Santa Fe service in the days of peace to come.
