Abstract
When the branch of the Kansas City Southern Railway to Fort Smith, Ark., was built (in 1898), the track was about 1/4 mile from the nearest point on the bank of the Arkansas River, near Braden, Okla. In recent years the river has been eroding its south bank at this place, so that in July, 1908, after the spring rise, it was 330 ft. from the track to the river. In the fall of that year there were unusual floods which caused the cutting of the bank to continue until the situation became very threatening, the river being within 180 ft. of the center of the track early in December, and erosion proceeding at a rapid rate.
