b. o'S NEW THROUGH LINE.
The management Of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad is preparing for an immense
business in 1898 while the World Fair is open
in Chicago. The terminals at Chicago are
capable of accommodating a much heavier
traffic than is now being done, and important
changes are being arranged for the handling
of very heavy freight and passenger business
to the West from New York, Philadelphia
and Baltimore. New equipment for largely
increased passenger business and an extensive
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 interlocking switches The
new line between Chicago Junction and
Akron has shortened the distance between
Chicago and tide water twenty-five miles, aud
between Pittsburg and Chicago fifty.eight
miles.
The distance between Chicago and Pitts.
burg and Chicago and Cleveland by the con-
structicn of the Akron line and the acquisition
of the Pittsburg and Western line and the
Valley Railroad of Ohio, is about the same
as via the Lake Shore from Cleveland to
Chicago, and by the Pennsylvania from
Pittsburg to Chicago. The alignment is to be
changed and grades reduced to a maximum
of twenty-six feet. 1t is expected that within
twelve months the old Baltimore Il Ohio

lantic Ocean will have passed away and the
new line via Pittsburgh be established, with
no greater grades or curvature than on any
Of the trunk lines.
Work has already begun east of Pittsburgh
to meet improvements making west Of Pitts
burgh. These improvements will consist OF
additional second and third tracks, a general
correction of the alignment, and completion
of the double track on the Metropolitan
Branch. 1t is expected that the new through
line will be ready simultaneously with the
completion Of the Belt Line through the City
of Baltimore, which is intended to unite the
Washington Branch with the Philadelphia
Division and do away with the present line
via Locust Point. Forty new and powerful
locomotive engines were added to the equip
ment during the last two months, and others
are in process of construction. The perma-
nent improvements now under way and in
contemplation involve the expenditure OF
some five millions of dollars. -Baitimore
