A Large Amount of Money TO BE spent
on tho PittsDurg Division.

on the PittsDurg Division.
The Pittsburg division OF the Bslti-
more and Ohio is to be greatly improved
this summer by the building OF about
80 miles of second track on the main
line at cost OF 100000. 1t is under
stood that this additional mileage has
been practically decided on at the head
quarters at Baltimore, although whether
II has been formerly authorized is not
known. This second track will all be
laid between Connelsville and Sand
Pitch, and will constitute great aud
needed Improvement, as nearly the
entire roadway east OF Con-
nellsvile TO Cumberland, Md, the east
ern terminus Of the division, is but sim
gle tack. 1t is thus difficult to oper-
ate. The new track will consist OF sew
eral long sidings, which can easily be
connected at any time IL Is desired TO
make continuous second track, aud
there Is no question that the entire main
line Of the division will eventually be
twln-tracked, for already the huge and
constantly increasing traffic Of the d.
vision is crowding its rails 70 their ut
most capacity Eighty Ave pound steel
rails will be used, and, by the way, this
is now the standard on the division, the
old and much lighter rail having been
abandoned as the standard. Already
there are sixteen miles OF S5-pound rail on
the division. That the projected track
will not cost more than $500, 900 Is due TO
the fact that the grading for a second
line was done several years ago, so that
the principal work will consist In laying
the ties and rails. For this reason also
expeditions work can be done. In add
ton 10 this new mileage IL Is understood
that mile OF track has been authoriZ-
ed TO be built in the vicinity OF City
Farm Station for the purpose Of rellev-
ing the overcrowded Glenwood yards.
1t will prove a great convenience. An
other improvement Of importance which
is being made on the Pttsburg division
is the building and rebuilding OF about
fifty-two miles of telegraph wire. The
greater part OF that which Is being re-
built Is on the Wheeling branch. A new
heavy copper wire is being erected be-
tween PlttsburR and ConnellsvIlle, and
about six miles OF new wire will be
built on the Somerset and Cambria
branch.
