From "The Star," Grand Coulee, WA
June 29, 1950
A necessary preliminary to the removal of the 30 mile construction railroad which delivered most of the materials for Grand Coulee Dam was accomplished when the Bureau of Reclamation opened bids for a trans-shipment building at Odair.
The building will be used to transfer equipment still needed for construction at the dam from rail to motor truck facilities once the railroad is removed.
The contract calls for a building, a 75-ton bridge type crane, roadway paving and work on rail facilities at the site of the building. The contract calls for completion of the work within 90 calendar days after receipt of the notice to proceed.
Bids will be called later for the railroad itself.
