San Bernardino County Historic Civil Engineering Landmark
(in Shield: American Society of Civil Engineers, Founded 1852)
The masonry Arch Dam was the first to store Water for Irrigation in the East San Bernardino County. The Dam was planned and designed by Yale Graduate and Civil Engineer Frank E. Brown, who needed more water for his Citrus grove Land development projects. Bear Valley Granite Deposits were quarried, split and shaped, and set by about 8 Italian Stone Masons. After the dam was high enough to impound some water, stone was moved to the dam on rafts and lifted to the derricks. Mortar was made with Portland cement from England. At the time of construction it was the highest , boldest, most slender arch dam in the United States. The Dam still stands submerged about 100 feet east of the multiple arch dam.
The Multiple Arch Dam was built because the Bear Valley Mutual water company wanted to increase the storage capacity of the Reservoir. They Selected John S Eastwood to design and build a higher dam. Eastwood had already designed and built a similar dam at Hume Lake (East of Fresno) in 1909. his Dam increased the Bear Valley Reservoir capacity by 3000 Percent. The Multiple Arch design was very economical in use of Concrete. The Construction used Local Rock and Sand, and was well equipped for quarrying, crushing, mixing and transporting the aggregates, concrete and other materials. The Cement came from Riverside, California. The Highway across the dam was built in 1924. The dam Survived the 1918 and 1992 Earthquakes without damage. Retrofitting for earthquake resistance was completed in 1988.

Skagway, Alaska to Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada
Completed 1900
It is no disparagement to other mountain railroads to say that the construction of the White Pass. Yukon is among the most brilliant feats of railroad engineering, in view of the tremendous difficulties to be encountered and the shortness of time in which the work was done.
- Victoria Colonist, British Columbia, 1990
Combining British financing, American engineering, and Canadian contracting, the White Pass and Yukon was the first major civil engineering project on the continent above the 60th degree of northern latitude. Completed in 27 months using only hand tools, black powder, and regional timber, the White Pass and Yukon rises almost 2,900 feet from sea level at the port of Skagway to the White Pass summit on the U.S.-Canada border in just 20 miles, accomplishing one of the steepest climbs of any railroad in the world.
Built for approximately $10 million to promote the Klondike Gold Rush around the turn of the century, the 110-mile narrow-gauge railway remained an important part of the mining industry - transporting gold, silver, copper and lead ore from Canadian mines across the coastal mountain range to Alaskan ports - until it was closed during a period of low metal prices in 1982. The railway found new life six years later as a thriving excursion line serving the cruise-ship industry.
Facts
- The White Pass and Yukon follows a path originally laid out by George Brackett, a former construction engineer on the Northern Pacific Railroad who built a 12-mile toll road into the mountains in 1897. Brackett's right-of-way was purchased in 1898 by the White Pass and Yukon for $60,000.
- At the height of its operations, the White Pass and Yukon also ran passenger and freight docks at the port of Skagway, a fleet of Yukon River steamboats, a passenger-bus service north of Whitehorse, a frontier airline, and several hotels.
During World War II, the railway played an essential role in transporting laborers and materials to build the 1,520-mile-long Alaska Highway, considered an essential transportation link for troops and equipment to Alaska and northwest Canada during World War II.
