Description

The construction of the army replacement center at Camp Wolters has caused a tremendous burst of speed for the surrounding projects. In the foreground is a seven span railroad trestle, built across Dry Branch Creek. The construction was completed in twenty-six hours. Behind the railroad is a steel and concrete highway bridge measuring forty feet wide with walkways on each side. Construction of the bridge was finished in five days.
