The girders, piers and abutments constitute one at iis power station at Port which the company has builtGolden. Power Equipment. Heretofore the Easton & Washington Traction Companyhas generated at its Port Golden power station all the currentfor the line, with the exception of a very small amount takenfrom the Easton Power Company at the Phillipsburg end.

As the stream to be bridged crosses the rightof way at the crest of a grade it was desirable to reduce theelevation of the rail as much as possible, and the girderswere therefore designed to take the rail without the use ofties. The girders are reinforced at the bottom with six li^-inch iron rods and a number of /^-inch rods elsewhere. The of the old and some new apparatus is to be installed in thepower plant to double its present capacity. As may be noted from the accompanying engraving show-ing the floor plan of the building, the power station is directlybehind the car house, in the same structure, and separatedtherefrom by an S-inch wall. The general width of the build-ing is 49 feet 4 inches, and the length 193 feet 10% inches.
