Game Where You Build A Bridge

[Ashlyn Robello]

Iam confining my question specifically to the Galaxy-class Enterprise NC 1701-D but from my understanding of their general design, the Sovereign-class Enterprise NC 1701-E should also behave much the same (indeed including the Prometheus-class which should be able to do the saucer separation).

My question revolves around the Saucer separation which happens in the 'Encounter at Farpoint' episode and also the a couple other times such as the 'The Arsenal of Freedom'. In one it appears that the "battle bridge" is on the saucer portion and the "civilian" portion is the rest of the ship. But in others, it's the saucer that goes away with people and the "body" if you will does the battle.

When the ship separates, the Main Bridge continues to function as the bridge for the saucer section (which is equipped with its own engines, weapons and shields) whereas the Battle Bridge becomes the main centre for operating the Stardrive, comprising the warp engines, primary shield emitters, warp core and main weapons platform.

The film was based on the 1952 novel Bridge over the River Kwai by Pierre Boulle. Boulle drew on the experiences of Far East POWs building the now infamous Burma-Siam Railway, linking modern-day Myanmar and Thailand to create his work.

The bridge depicted in the film is most definitely real. In fact, there were two: one a wooden railway bridge and the other a ferroconcrete structure built using imported bridge sections from Japanese-controlled Java.

By this time, the United States and its naval and industrial might had entered the war. Victory over the Japanese navy at Midway in June 1942 had created a turning point in the Far East and Pacific. The US was beginning to control the sea lanes, making it increasingly difficult for Japanese shipborne cargo to reach the army dotted across the Pacific.

Before the US began rolling up Japanese possessions throughout the Pacific, and the British really started gaining momentum in Burma, Japan had carved out a large empire. It stretched from Japan, Korea, and China in the north all the way down to Indonesia. Supplying it by ship was the only practical solution.

Imperial Japanese Army Command deemed this unacceptable. Rather than draw on their own corps of manpower, which was busy fighting an eventual losing battle against encroaching Allied forces, it would put its legions of POWs and local forced labourers to work.

All but a small section of the route was built in dense, malarial jungles, in sweltering heat and monsoon rains. Some sections, such as the infamous Hellfire Pass, required carving through tough sheer rock.

POWs and indentured labourers were worked to death while busy constructing the railway simultaneously. Camps were set up at 100-metre intervals. Burma-Siam Railway labourers and prisoners of war slept in rudimentary bamboo huts on filthy floors.

Brigadier Varley would survive the hellish building work along the Burma-Siam Railway but not the war. Along with 1,250 other POWs, he died while in transit from Singapore to Japan aboard the Rakuyo Maro transport ship after it was torpedoed by a US submarine.

Lamb, as he was known, had been a politician before calling up, serving the state legislature in Victoria, Australia. He joined up in 1940 and served in the Middle East with the 2/2nd Pioneer Battalion before transferring back to the Dutch East Indies in early 1942.

Just two months later, Lieutenant Lamb was dead. He succumbed to malaria, dysentery, and malnutrition at Camp Kilo 101 in Thailand. Today, he rests alongside his fellow POWs in Thanbyuzayat War Cemetery in Burma (Myanmar).

Japanese guards were known for their cruelty and would frequently torture and assault their prisoners. During the cutting of Hellfire Pass, for example, 69 men were beaten to death across a twelve-week period.

Surviving veterans consider Toosey one of the finest officers they ever served under. His compassion and insistence on equality amongst the ranks ensured he protected his men as best he could. Of course, he could not save many of his men from expiring, but he did his best to make conditions more comfortable.

Those who were there did not think much of the novel or film of the Bridge of the River Kwai. Servicemen who survived the death marches, appalling working conditions, and savage treatment by their guards thought the film nor book reflected the realities of their experience.

Showing the impact of disease on the workforce, Kanchanaburi contains two graves holding the ashes of 300 Cholera victims. A Cholera epidemic swept through Nieke Camp between May-June 1943. Victims were cremated and their remains are buried in the aforementioned graves.

Chungkai War Cemetery is something of a sister site to Kanchanaburi. The cemetery itself is located just outside the town of Kanchanaburi at the point where the Kwai splits into the Mae Khlong and Kwai Noi rivers.

Chungkai was also a POW worker base camp. Allied soldiers had built a church and a hospital on the site where the cemetery now sits. In fact, the cemetery is the original burial ground started by the prisoners themselves.

Following the raids, Thanbyuzayat was evacuated. Prisoners, including the sick, were marched to camps further along Death Railway. Thanbyuzayat continued to be used as a POW reception centre to reinforce work parties along the Burma-Siam Railway.

The linear park has more than a total of 40 miles of hiking, bicycle and bridle trails. High Bridge Trail, a recognized National Recreation Trail, itself is 31 miles long, and numerous additional biking and hiking trails adjacent to it.

Hiking - Camp Paradise, Smyth, Spur Line and Spur Line Connector trails offer a variety of unique hiking experiences and are directly accessible from High Bridge Trail with easy to moderate difficulty.

High Bridge Trail parallels and crosses over sections of the Appomattox River. In addition to largemouth and smallmouth bass, the Appomattox is home to the Kentucky spotted bass and numerous other freshwater species. Access to the river is limited. Nearby Twin Lakes and Holliday Lake state parks offer other fishing and overnight accommodations.

Gift Shop on the Go at the Camp Paradise parking lot is open Friday to Sunday from April through November, weather permitting. Bottled water, T-shirts, hiking medallions and other memorabilia are sold there. There's also an exhibit about High Bridge at the Virginia's Heartland Regional Visitor Center and Transportation Heritage Museum at 121 E. Third Street in Farmville. The center is open seven days a week, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The park offers year-round self-guided experiences as well as unique historical and environmental education programming. Call 434-315-0457 or email highbri...@dcr.virginia.gov to schedule a field trip or private program for your group.

In December 2006, Norfolk Southern Railway Co. donated a 31-mile tract of abandoned railroad to the state for the establishment of a new state park. The rail line was part of the Petersburg to Lynchburg line. On Aug. 22, 2008, four miles of the linear park were opened to the public. On June 6, 2009, another 10 miles were opened to the public. Six more miles were opened on Nov. 14, 2009, and another four miles were opened on July 3, 2010. On Sept. 4, 2010, the trail's final six miles were opened. After 13 months of rehabilitation work, High Bridge was opened to the public on April 6, 2012. Its completion provides the final link in the 31-mile trail.

Master plans must be written for parks before they're built. The plans are updated at least once every 10 years thereafter. The plans cover the size, types, infrastructure and locations of facilities as well as the site's special features and resources. Three public meetings are held during the initial development of each plan. Click here for this park's master plan.

HOW TO USE: For each of the nine travel routes highlighted below, RIDOT has provided three helpful charts. The first chart shows the additional time needed to cross the bridge at different hours on different days, compared to early December. Please note that travel times vary for a number of unplanned factors, including weather conditions and accidents.

In accordance with legislation passed into law on May 7, 2024, RIDOT has submitted the first of 28 monthly Washington Bridge Snapshot Reports, based on expected completion of the project by August 2026. Each report will include a rolling 4-week period defined as the last week of the prior month and three weeks of the current month. The full text of the report is below. Reports will be posted to the RIDOT website on or before the first of each month.

Governor Dan McKee today announced that the State of Rhode Island is pursuing a U.S. Department of Transportation National Infrastructure Project Assistance discretionary grant, also known as a Mega Grant, to fund 60% of the new Washington Bridge constructions costs.

The Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) today posted a request for proposal (RFP) to invite design-build teams to submit proposals to replace the Washington Bridge. It is live for review by interested bidders at this web page.

The RFP highly encourages the use of accelerated bridge construction methods to replace the bridge and open travel lanes to the public as quickly as possible. It includes requirements such as carrying five through lanes over the bridge and constructing a new on-ramp to I-195 West from Gano Street and an off-ramp from I-195 West to Waterfront Drive. The project also includes paving, repair and replacement of drainage structures, and removal of the crossover traffic pattern as lanes are built and opened on the new bridge.
