A train of eighteen cars loaded with
horees and implements of various sorts,
belonging to the Southern Pacific, went
north yesterday to Santa Barbara. 1t is
believed by those who are well informed
in railway matters that this pressges the
resuming of work on the coast line. A
prominent Southern Pacific railway Off
cial declared yesterday that work on the
eonnestion between Elwood and Santa
Margarita would be commenced very
Beon. He also volunteered the prophesy
that trains would be running between
this city and San Francisco by the coast
line within two years. The work ceased
on this connection about two years. ago.
The line from Santa Margarita to San
Luis Obispo involves tunneling through
the mountains, and will prove
. very expensive piece of work. From
San Luis to Los Olivos there is a narrow
gauge line, which it is supposed will be
Widened to standard. The whole dis
tance between the terminals, not count
ing the narrow gauge road, is 120 miles.
