The St. Paul & Omaha Neso Lines.
General Manager Bishop and Superin-
tendent Winter of the Chicago, st. Paul,
Minneapolis & Omaha Line, returned yester-
day from trip to Plattsmouth, Neb., and
over the Omaha branch of their Line. Their
visit to Plattsmouth was for inspection of a
transfer boat lately released from
service there by completion
of the railroad bridge at that
point, and which boat has been bought by
the st. Paul & Omaha company for use at
Sioux City. They found the boat all right
and completed the arrangements for taking
it into the service of their company. The
boat will leave Plattsmouth for Sioux City
Monday; and by the time it arrives the
transfer tracks and landings will be ready
for it. On their return Messrs. Bishop
and Winter came by rail from
Omaha to Oakland and thence
along the portion of the Omaha branch in
process of construction to Covington, oppo-
site Sioux City. The construction work is
making good progress, thirteen miles of
track having been laid north from Oakland
and ten miles laid south from the junction
with the Ponca branch, while the track-lay
ing is being pushed from both ends. Some
interruptions haye occurred, such as have
seemed unavoidable this season, when
certain materials are slowly fur
nished in proportion to the demand, but the
officers of the company now see the way
clear for finishing the track laying by the
middle of October, so that they may begin
running trains over their own line between
Omaha and Sioux City by the LIST of Novem-
Der. The Ponca branch, formerly narrow
guage road, has been reconstructed through
out wide guage, with new bridges, ties. ETC.,
and heavier iron for the first ten miles out
from Covingtop, which forms part of the
Omaha line. The Norfolk branch, starting
from Kenesaw Junction, on the
Omaha branch, 81 miles from Sioux
City, ia nearly all graded, with the right of
of way wholly secured, and will be ironed
Immediately after the track layers get
through with the Omaha branch. This
Norfolk branch, by the way is almost as i'm
portant line as the Omaha branch, for at
Norfolk it will connect with northern
branch of the Union Pacific
road and with the two
branches of the Sioux City & Pacific road
which diverge westerly from that point. In
all, the c., st. p, M. & o. Line company
will have built 100 miles of new road and re-
built and enlarged 26 miles of old road in
Nebraska this year. Besides this, they are
building and will complete this season an
extension of the Sioux Falls, Dakota, branch,
38 miles, to Salem, Cook county, on the
DdAh Vi GAA0 w OoV AAsOA3 VA
fifteen miles Of track has already been laid,
and also in June last they extended their
Blue Earth, Mimi, branch ten miles be-
yond Blue Earth City, to the State line.
These will make for the company's con-
structien account, West of st. Paul, in 1880,
148 miles of new road and 26 miles of re-
built road.
