Several years ago, while the writer was Division Engineer of Maintenance of Way on the Houston and Texas Central Railway, two or three accidents happened to the bridging under his charge, which may possibly be of some historical interest. The first bridge, Fig. 1, a pin-connected Pratt truss over Richland Creek, of 128 ft. 7 ins. span, was built by the Phrenix Bridge Company, in the early part of 1887, and, as in all similar work by that company at that time, the posts and upper chords consisted of the old closed Phrenix columns, set into castings at the panel points.
