FROM ST. LOUIS 10 CHICAGO.
4 Fine Railroad Route.
Whoever cats his eye over the map Of I'LL.
,o,s, will be At once impressed With The neces-
'lty Of great line Of railroaa between Chicago
I'D ST. Lou:s; and track about midway be-
:xeeu tho Illinois River aud the Eastern Branch
J: the Central Railroad, will suggest itself II
Eae best route. Following this course, and
built nearly on an air line, the G.. 4. l. st. l..
3 4ileosd runs dagoaal1y across the State. The
distance from this city to st. Louis is e8l miles;
aud 10 straight il the line, that it could scarcely
bs shortened more than one and half per cent.
Nearly exempt from curves aud grades, high
rate Of speed may be attained with but lt,ls
strain on the running machinery Of the road.
Tbs total length Of culserts, bridges, and trel-
lis work, is not more than five and half miles.
aud eren this will be much reduced By filing.
Crossing few rapid streams, and passing through
a gently undalating country, The cost Of repair
ing damages BY aoods is comparatively triaing;
while the regularity of trains under the present
management, is q matter Of general remark
among passengers.
