Proceedings 56th Annual Convention of the American Railway Bridge and Building Association 1951 Hard Cover 120 pages Advertisements, abstract of addresses, reports, more.
Such problems of long standing as the operation and maintenance of heating plants, and the protection of steel bridges against brine drippings-along with problems of more recent origin, such as the effect of the 40-hr. week, and the construction of diesel fueling facilities-were given a thorough airing by the members of the American Railway Bridge & Building Association at its 56th annual meeting held in Chicago at the Stevens Hotel on September 17-19, 1951.
Continuing the practice started in 1946, this meeting was held concurrently, but separately, with the annual convention of the Roadmasters' and Maintenance of Way Association. The two meetings were convened in joint session on Monday morning, September 17 and in another joint session on the afternoon of the following day. The program of the latter session consisted of features of common interest to both groups, including an address by a railroad president, a motion-sound-color picture, and a roundtable discussion of the problems of flood rehabilitation encountered during and following the record floods that occurred in the Kansas City area in July. Another feature of the concurrent conventions was the annual banquet which was tendered to the members and families of the two railroad associations by the Track Supply Association and the Bridge and Building Supply Association. In accordance with an agreement of several years' standing, no exhibit of manufacturers' products was sponsored by the two supply associations.
