1t will be seen from this table that at least
4,244 miles OF main track have been laid
thus far on 100 different lines in torty OF
the forty-seven State and Territories or the
Union. The only States not reporting any
new track are New Hampshire, Vermont
Rhode Island and Connecticut; Nevada,
locked In the Rocky mountains, and the al
most uninhnbited Territory of Wyoming.
New York leads with 3J7 miles of new lines,
and Pennsylvania who eXcels in number
OF roads, follows in mileage, report
ing no less than nineteen lines, dg-
gregating 2y1 miles. Young Dakota comes
next, with 2SS miles of new track,
laid on only six lines; Montana shows 2j1
miles added: California, 90; Mississippi,
236; Idaho, 30; and Ohio nearly .0J miles
on thirteen lines. The other Sta es and Ter
ritories reporting more than 100 miles, thus
far are Louisiana, Utah, Illinois, Michigan,
Arizona, Alabama, Indiana and Wisconsin
In most of the States grading is being act
lively pushed on numerous lines, ana some
track has doubtle Is been laid during the pc
Rod named of which We have not oh tained
report. although our researches and CORE
spondence have been very thoroughly ex-
tended.
AS was to be expected, the figures for this
year are much less than they were in the
previous year of extraordinary railway
building. At this date in 1892 we req orted
g. 015 miles of track laid, on 26O lines, against
4244 miles on 1919 lines for the CORES )ond-
ing period OF 1888. Assuming similar COM
parison for the entire year, the railw ay mile
age added during 1885 is likely to aggregate
about Z, COO miles, which will exceed the rec
ord of any year previous to IL 0, when
the boom" began. We have a record Of
nearly $50 miles upon which track-laying is
still in progress or expected to commence
this year, and our own estimate now is that
the total extent of track Ia during 1889
will be between 600 and 100 miles OF
course the foregoing figures do not include
the thousands OF miles of new lines which
will be bnilt during 1888 in the neighboring
countries of Canada and Mexico, and for
which American manufacturers to very
large extent supply the materials
