In order to destroy this railway bridge across the Songchon River at Hamhung, Korea, and delay the advancing Communist Army, a section of the bridge was blown out and a locomotive pushed over the edge of the gap. The crisscrossed wooden ties supporting much of the track were set afire and later the other locomotive and freight car remaining on the bridge were dynamited.
