THE POINTER Page 3, Sec. 1, August 29, 1963 Technicians operate a powerful hydraulic piston machine which last week drove eight 20-foot sections of steel pipe under the Indiana Harbor Belt Line railroad tracks at State st. Railroad service was not interrupted as underground tunnel was placed to link excavations along State st. north to 137th and south to 144th st. where telephone conduit is being buried.

Later telephone cables necessary to bring new telephone circuits to the area will be placed in the "underground highway" provided by the conduit and steel pipe. "Sidewalk superintendents" watch over the ticklish job of lowering 1,500 pounds worth of steel pipe used to burrow under the Indiana Harbor Belt Line railroad tracks at State st. in Riverdale last week. Eight 20-foot sections were jammed end-to-end to provide an "underground highway" which later will hold telephone cables necessary to bring new telephone circuits to the area. Railroad service was not interrupted.

The pipe run links excavations along State st. south to 144th st. and north of the tracks to 137th st. where new telephone-conduit is being buried. Hank Gloodt (stooping) Illinois project engineer, shows Barley Conrad (left) supervising engineer and George Laster, Riverdale manager, the progress being made on excavations for telephone conduit along Stale st.

from 137th to 144th sts. Later cables needed to provide additional telephone circuits for the area will to threaded through the nine-duct conduit run. ILLINOIS BELL PHOTOS III. Bell Installs New Underground Highway Excavation work is progressing rapidly to create a new "underground highway" for telephone'circuits in Riverdale according to G. E.

Laster, Illinois Bell manager. An 11-man crew with five pieces of heavy equipment arc burying conduit along the side of State st. from 137th to 144th which can accommodate up to nine telephone cables to bring additional telephone service to this growing area. A special problem was tackled in the middle of the job where the Indiana Harbor Belt railroad tracks cross Stat3 St. A large pit housed a powerful hydraulic piston machine which drove eight 1500-pound, 20-foot lengths of welded steel pipe some 20 inches in diameter through the ground about 10 feet under the railroad tracks without disturbing rail service.

The job was completed last week. The pipe run will be filled with smaller pipes later to house telephone cable, according to Hank Gloodt, telephone project engineer. These smaller pipes will connect with the conduit being placed north and south of the tracks along State st. Gloodt said all excavation work should be finished by mid-September, the telephone cable pulled in by October and the project ready to provide telephone services to Riverdale by November.
