ties per mile full 100000 ties will be used for the whole
including the sidings. About 10 miles are already

$50 miles will be graded this Fall, and that the whole
will be completed in two years.
tits designed that the north tracks shall be used
for passenger trains and the two south tracks for freight
In laying the track the effort is made to straghen
the line far possible and take out the curves,
and with this view, the tracks not placed
throughout on the side OF the Old, but adjusted
as best to accomplish this end At West Albany, under
the new arrangement the passenger tracks Will not fol-
low the present line among the shops aud cattle yards
