To BE One of the Great Trunk Lines to
Chicago.
The management of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad is preparing for an i'm
mense business in 1898, while the Fair is
open in Chicago. The terminals at Chicago
are capable OF accommodating a. much
heavier traffic than is now being don g,
and important changes are being ar
ranged for the handling of very heavy
freight ami passenger business to the
West from New York, Philadelphia and
Baltimore. New equipment for largely in
creased passenger business and an ex-
rensive stock of freight cars have been
ordered. The various roads of the system
will be improved by Strengthened lines,
reduced grades, extra side tracks and in
terlocking switches. The new line be-
tween Chicago junction and Akron has
shortened the distance between Chicago
and tide water Twenty-Five miles, and be-
tween Pittsburg and Chicago hf.y-eight
miles.
The distance between Chicago and
Pittsburgh and Chicago and Cleveland by
the construction OF the Akron line, and
the acquisition Of the Pittsburgh ana
Western line and the Valley Railroad of
Ohio, is about the same as via the Lake
Shore from Cleveland TO Chicago, aud by
the Pennsylvania from PITTSBURGH to
Chicago. The alignment Is to be changed
and grades reduced to q maximum of
twenty-six teet. IL Is expected that with
ia twelve months the old Baltimore &
Ohio through line between Chicago and
the Atlantic Ocean will have passed away
and the New line via PIttsburg be estab-
lished, with no greater grades or curva-
ture than on any ofGhe trunk lines.
Work has already begun east of Pitts
burg to meet improvements making west
of Pittsburgh. These improvements will
consist of additional second aud third
tracks, a general correction of the align
ment. and completion of the double track
on the Metropolitan Branch. 1t is ex-
pected that the new through line will be
ready simultaneously with the completion
of the Belt line through the City of Bal
timore, which is intended to unite the
Washington Branch with the Philadel-
phia Division and do away with the pres
ent line via Locust Point. Forty new
and powerful locomotive engines were
added to the equipment during the last
two months, and Others are in process of
construction. The permanent Improves
ments now under way and In contempla-
ton involve the expenditure or some five
milli0nq of dnllarg. 8 a
