RAILROAD NOMENCLATURE,

The Title Does Not Always Show W here
the Road Begins and Ends
II might be supposed that railroads which
bear usually geographical names would show
by their titles what points they connect, but
there are many exceptions in this respect and
some of them are surprising. says the New
New York Sun. The st. Louis and San
Francisco railroad, for instance. might be
supposed to run from st. Louis to San Fra n
cisco Actually ii runs 327 miles west Of ST
Louis.
The Mimi eapolis and ST. Louis Railroad
would appear to run from Minneapolis TO st.
Louis. Ii actually runs from Minneapolis to
Angus. Iowa, about half way TO 81. Louis.
The Omaha and ST. Louis Railroad does not
run from Omaha TO St. Louis. but from
Omaha 10 PattonsburG, No. st. Louis is 267
miles farther east. The Toledo, st. Louis
and Kansas City Railroad Cor "Clover Leaf,
as it is more generally called runs from To-
ledo to ST. Louis, which is the Western termi-
nus OF the road. Kansas City is 325 miles
away. Tho Toledo. Peoria and Western Rail-
road does not run from Toledo to Peoria, but
from the Indiana State line to Warsaw, Ill.
The New York, Chicago and St. Louis Ral-
road COR Nickel Plate. as it is universally
call d. does not run from New York to Chi
cago and st. Louis. 1t runs from Buffalo to
Chicago, and a passenger upon it coming
east and landing at Buffalo would he over 400
miles from New York, while a passenger upon
it going west and landing at Chicago would
be SEQ miles from ST. Louis. The Phiiadel
phia and Erie Railroad runs from Sunbury
Pa. to Erie. The Pennsylvania, Poughkeep-
sic and Boston Railroad is ninety-siX miles
long, from Slatington, Pa. to Campbell Hall,
on the Ontaria and Western. The Fort Worth
and Denver City Railroad is wholly in Texas,
does not touch Denver, and does not run into
Colorado
These peculiarities in railroad nomenclature
are supplemented by another. All the coal
carrying roads running latltudinaily in the
Eastern States have as part OF their title the
words land western. Here are some OF item
! Delaware. Lackawabna il Western; the New
York Lake Erie & Western; the New York,
! Ontario & Western; the Lake Erie & West
ern the Norfolk & Western; the New York,
/ Susquehanna & Western; the Pittsburg and
Western. The quantity of coal trans ported
| by these railroads collectively amounts to
more than $50, 600, 900 tons a year.
