CONSTRUCTION OF NEW LINES IN 1880.

This weeks edition OF "Ihe Engineering No"e
will say:
The list Of new railway lines constructed during
1882 which we present with this issue shows that
the total addition to the mantr track railway mileage
of the United states during the year will vary very
little from even 5000 miles. This is the smallest
construction recorded in any one year since los5,
when the total increase was bat 3,3SS miles. The
construction in the intervening years has been In
1856 SAT- miles in 1887, 1865 in 1888, 1884
miles.
The bulk Of this years construction has been done
in the south. over 1000 miles of the new lines re-
ported to lie south Of the latitude OF Cincinnati and
east OF the Mississippi River Washington, however,
has had the greatest increase in railways Of any
single State, 1853 miles having been built there in
1889. Georgia comes next with 315 miles. and then
follow North Carolina with pa miles, Texas with
270 miles, and Mississippi with 212 miles. Sixteen
other states report between 100 and 200 miles, and
in Vermont Rhode Island, New-MexicO, Arizona and
Nevada trackayng has been reported.
Very few long lines have been built this season.
but there has been a great number of new short
branches and extensions, especially in the East The
total number of separate lines on which track laid
during the year 1853. This work was done by
1917 different companies. The average length OF each
extension therefore, almost exactly nineteen and
one half miles. In Canada, during 1882 733 miles of
track laid. and in Mexico the construction
amounted to 800 miles.
