The Great
Culebra Cut
At the Continental Divide
60,000,000 pounds of high powdered dynamite were used by the engineers in tearing
asunder
Gold Hill from Contractor's Hill. More than 100,000,000 cubic yards of earth and
rocks
were excavated. Slides added some 30,000,000 cubic yards of material that needed to
be hauled.
