Removal of Rails for New

Roadbed Stirs Nostalgia
To make room for an access road to No. 1 and No. 2 Finger Piers
and yet-to-be-built No. 3 Finger Pier, the main refinery road in the
area near the general shops is being relocated slightly north of its
present roadway. The pier access road will have its entrance at gate
No. 2. Automatic swing gates will be installed at the pier road entrance
while automatic lift gates will re-
place the present security gates at sters and Ross Carriers. The fate of
No. 2. the railroad was sealed when the sul-


The new road will start at No. 1
Finger Pier and run parallel to the
relocated main refinery road, swing
south of the fire truck garage and
then meet No. 3 Finger Pier's access
road. All tanks in the vicinity have
been relocated except tank No. 88
which will remain.
In addition to the new roadway,
lighting and fencing will be installed.
The fence line will run approximately
where the present white center line
of the main refinery road now runs
in the strip south of the general
shops. The project is scheduled to be
completed during the second quarter
of this year.
A major task in relocating the
main refinery road was the removal
of rails and ties from the old Lago
railway bed south of the shops. The
thirty-foot rails were literally jerk-
ed out by a ten-ton capacity crane.


C a F ger P ier Cross ties were scraped out witn a

fur recovery plant became operative
and eliminated the need to haul
Louisiana sulfur from the Gasoline
Dock to the Acid Plant. When the
rail operation ceased late in 1955, it
ended a railroad that had been in
existence for more than seventy
years.
Phosphate Road
The railroad was originally laid
down by phosphate companies esta-
blished here in 1879. The original
railroad, powered by steam engines,
hauled phosphate from beds in Seroe
Colorado to the harbor. The thirty-
inch, narrow gauge track served its
owners until 1914 when the phos-
phate company ceased operations.
Today the old tracks are being jerk-
ed from under an asphalt blanket to
make way for a new roadbed. At tha
same time, plans are being made to
reopen the same phosphate mines
that necessitated the laying of the
original railroad.
This was the island's only railroad,
its first and presumably its last. The
railroad, idle from 1914 when the
phosphate company abandoned its
mining venture, was revived by the
Pan-American Petroleum Company
more than a decade later to haul
curved tank plates and lengths of
pipe from the old T-dock dismantl-
ed when Finger Pier No. 1 was built
- to the site of the crude oil ter-
minal construction.
In 1927 the company decided to
build a refinery in Aruba. The rail-
road, now powered by internal com-
bustion rather than steam engines,
had been expanded. When the refi-
nery went on stream m 1929, the
road had hauled eight topping stills
ashore plus the original equipment

Most Precious Possession
The man who loses an arm or leg, fingers or toes is handicapped
either severely or slightly, depending on the loss. But the man who
loses his eyesight is practically incapacitated. These words he'll never
read, a hit movie he'll never see, the sun will set each evening with
majesty and grace while the blind man lives in an india ink world.
A man's eyesight is his most precious sense -all others are second-
ary. He dare not walk alone until the other senses become super-
sensitive and even then his journeys will be limited to a degree. His
chance of employment are reduced as most skills require good vision.
Loved ones must come to his aid and serve as his "seeing eye" and
help him do the simple things we take for granted. The loss of ones
eye-sight is a tragic event. There is no second chance. Each man's
eyes must last him a lifetime.
Even the loss of one eye can greatly handicap a person. He becomes
less safe on the road, he loses his depth perception, he is less efficient
in performing many types of jobs.
That's why the Safety Division urges employees to obey eye protec-
tion safety rules and regulations. The finest eye protection equipment
available is furnished. It is up to each employee to make use of this
equipment. Safety glasses and goggles are expendable a shattered
lens can be replaced; an eye is lost forever.
Proof again that eye protection is invaluable came recently while
P. J. Cicilia of Mechanical-Yard was chipping concrete. The chip that
flew up at his face could have blinded his right eye permanently. In-
stead, it shattered the lens of his chipper's goggles which clearly
demonstrated the force of the flying object. The employee operating,
the paving breaker or rivet buster is not the only one who should wear
eye protection. Those working in the proximity of an employee using
chipping and breaking tools should also wear chipper goggles. Small
pieces of concrete have been known to travel with force for quite a

The commissary is a beehive of activity. Busy pro-

that vegetable bins are well stocked. The clerk at the
meat counter conveys an order to meat cutters out of

SThough man has weathered the bronze age, iron age, steel age and, we
'7 ope, the atomic age he still must rely on simple tools invented by his
ancestors many thousands of years ago. In the complexity of steel towers,
pipe alleys and marine piers that make up Lago's refinery, the simple
rope continues to rank high as an important tool.
Its meager beginnings can be traced back to 4000 B.C. when some un-
known genius plaited strips of hide or vegetable fiber together to create
.f. \the first crude rope. The secret was in the twist. He had equalized the
stress on each fiber or strip which gave his "rope" greater strength.
Today's rope, though finer and more precisely made, is still produced
with the age-old twist most familiar to Lago employees who need this
tool to perform their daily work assignments. The biggest rope users at
Lago are men in the Marine Department's Floating Equipment Division,
Mechanical-Carpenter employees and Mechanical-Yard riggers and steve-
dores. In addition, men in almost every Lago craft find a definite need
for rope at one time or another.
But it is still harbor men, painters, carpenters, riggers and stevedores
A .o become most familiar with rope splicing, hoisting, securing and
knotting. They work with rope as thick as a man's arm and several
hundred feet long and with pencil-thin rope in much shorter lengths.
They use different types of rope depending on the job. Marine men mostly
use synthetic fiber rope while riggers like sisal rope and painters and
carpenters mostly use the manila variety. Each is best suited for a parti-
cular job because of its inherent properties
Tug, barge and launch workers like the new synthetics nylon, '
dacron and polyethylene because they have better abrasion-resistalt i

Maske hende a recorre e epoca di brons, epoca di hero, epoca di staal y,
nos ta spera, epoca atomic ainda el master confia ariba simple herment
invent door di su antecesornan hopi miles di anja pasa. Den e complexi-
S dad di torennan di staal, alley di tubo y piernan marine cu ta forma re-
e finria di Lago, e simple cabuya ta sigui ocupa un lugar important como
tiun herment di trabao.
Su principio modesto ta bai back te 4000 anja promer cu Cristo tempo
Scu un genio desconoci a vlecht repi di cuero of fibra di mata na otro pa
forma e promer cabuya crudo. E secret tabata den e vlechtmento. El a '
I igualiza e tension arba cada fibra of repi pa duna e cabuya mas forza. I
E cabuya di awendia, make mas fini y mas precise, ainda ta word
Sproduci cu e vlecht familiar pa empleadonan di Lago cu tin master di e
herment aki pa cumpli cu nan trabaonan diario. E usadornan mas grand
di cabuya na Lago ta empleadonan di Mechanical-Carpenter y riggers y
Sstevedores di Mechanical-Yard y empleadonan di Floating Equipment
Division di Marine Department. Ademas, hombernan den casi tur ofishi di
Lago ta den e necesidad pa usa cabuya un tempo of otro.
I Pero ainda ta trahadornan ariba waaf, verfd6, carpinter, riggers y -
Sstevedores cu ta bira mas familiar cu splaismento, hizamento, maramento
y konopamento. Nan ta traha cu cabuya mes diki cu braza di un bomber
y varlos cien pia largo y cu cabuya diki di un potlood y hopi mas cortico.
Nan ta usa diferente sorto di cabuya dependiendo di e trabao. Hendenan I
di Marine Department ta usa mayor parti cabuya di fibra syntetico mien- 4 6
tras riggers ta usa cabuya di sisal y verfd6 y carpinter ta usa esun clause

Naval Air Force Gets


Grumman Trackers

Sleek Canadian-built Grumman F2S-1 Tracker search and
strike aircraft of the Dutch Naval Air Force were exhibited at
Princess Beatrix Airport Jan. 18 to Marines, the press and is-
land dignitaries. Three of the five Curagao-based twin-engined
craft were flown to Aruba for the special showing. The new
planes replace Avenger craft which have been used by the air
force for several years. Grumman trackers have a range of
over 1300 miles and are equipped with radar, MAD (a magnetic
submarine detecting device), SONAR and can carry five-inch
rockets and homing torpedoes. A crew of four pilot, co-pilot,
radio operator and MAD operator -man each Tracker.

New Pick-up Trucks Make Up Lago's Biggest Convoy


The convoy of twenty-one brand
new pick-up trucks that moved from
the Oranjestad docks to Lago's gar-
age created quite a stir on the main
highway and the refinery's main
road. It was the biggest movement of
its kind in the refinery's annals and
must have piqued the memories of
those familiar with military convoys
during the Forties. To accomplish the
move, twenty-one drivers had to be
transported to Oranjestad from Lago
so that each could pick up one of the
twenty-one pick ups.
The procession wound its way to
the garage via the main highway,
San Nicolas and the main refinery
road. Garage employees then went to
work to re-install two-way radios,
railings and the like on specialized
trucks. The vehicles were completely
serviced, given tune-ups and later
undercoated and lettered. The last
two operations were performed at
the Mechanical-Carpenter Paint
Shop.

A CONVOY of twenty-one brand new pick-up trucks
from the United States created quite a sight as it
wound its way from Oranjestad docks to Lago's
garage via the main refinery road. The new vehicles
will replace older trucks.

Jersey Affiliate

Brings In New

Well in Libya
Standard Oil Company (N. J.) an-
nounced recently that it had been
advised by Esso Sirte, Inc. that con-
trolled production testing had begun
at Ragubo-1 discovery well in Con-
cession 20 in the Cyrenaica province
of Libya.
Esso Sirte, a Jersey Standard af-
filiate, is the operator of Concession
20 which it owns jointly with Libyan
American Oil Company and W. R.
Grace and Company.
The Raguba-1 well has a 220-foot
gas and oil bearing section below a
depth of 5280 feet. Initial test data
obtained from a forty-foot section
resulted in production rates of 494
barrels of oil a day through a one-
quarter inch choke and 2250 barrels
a day through a half-inch choke.
Testing is being continued at
higher rates from this new discovery
which Esso Sirte terms "significant."
The company is confident that pro-
duction rates can be increased to
5000 barrels a day by opening ad-
ditional sections and by acidization.
The new field is located in the
southeastern portion of Concession
20, about eighty miles from the
Mediterranean coast. Esso Sirte has
moved a second drilling rig into the
area. Two additional wells are pre-
sently being drilled to determine the
real extent of the field.
In January, 1960, Esso Sirte ac-
quired from Libyan American Oil
and W. R. Grace, an undivided half
interest in Concessions 16 and 17 in
Tripolitania province of Libya and
Concession 20 in the Cyrenaica pro-
vince.
Jersey has another wholly-owned
affiliate in Libya, Esso Standard
(Libya) Inc. which made the Zelten
field discovery.
Libyan American Oil is a wholly-
owned subsidiary of the Texas Gulf
SProducing Company.

WITH THE aid of a ten-ton capacity
crane, Mechanical-Yard riggers pulled old
rails out of the asphalt like a dentist pull-
ing a row of bad teeth. The track had to be
removed from the area north of the main
refinery road in the vicinity of Lago',
general shops so that the road can be re-
located. For many years, work trains such
as the one pictured at left hauled general
cargo throughout the refinery from dock-
side unloading stations.
CU AYUDO di un grua di diez ton di capa-
cidad, riggers di Mechanical-Yard ta ranca
riel hieuw for di den asfalt mescos cu iin

I'l ACCESS ROAD
(Continued from po (e 1)


for No. 1 Powerhouse, lumber for
workers' homes, pipes, valves and a
myriad of other equipment. With
few exceptions, up until the time of
its demise, the railroad had warned
every major piece of equipment in
the refinery. Little known to other
than those who were here is the fact
that a railroad canied the hospital
up the hill.
The hospital was consti ucted in
the present spheroid area To move
it up the hill, tracks were laid, the
hospital jacked up and placed on
flatcars and away she went up the
hill. To acconunodate bulky pieces of
equipment, a third rail was laid mn
certain sections of the track to
handle flat cars with a sixty-menc
wheel base while the engine pulled
on the na row gauge rails.
All this is part of Lago's past,
brought to attention with the re-
moval of a few lengths of buried
rails and ties.

1 Powerhouse, palo pa cas di traha-
dornan, tubo, valve y un multitud -li
