Track Elevation In Cities.

Track. elevation In cities is an item Of
| expense, and an enormously large one, not
dreamed of when most of the roads were
built, with which many companies are nov
confronted. The Chicago and Northwest.
ern, which last year effected with remark
able rapidity the elevation of long stretch
OF It's Galena division IN Chicago, has COM
menced similar work on its Milwaukee
division, during the progress of which it
dlverts most of its trains over freight
branch making detour to Evanston, and
it will subsequently raise It's Wisconsin
division, as well as its switching line along
Rockwell street. The Erie road has decid-
ed TO go to the expense Of $1,000, 900 in
raising its tracks in Jersey City, but, un-
like the Pennsylvania road in that city, it
will not elevate its station. The tracks as
they emerge from the railway yard will
ascend by an easy grade until they can
cross the intersecting streets with q sufi-
eient headway. Per contra in Chicago the
Illinois Central Is pushing with great speed
the depression of its tracks along the lake
front and the erection of high wall
which, while it will cut of from the resi-
dents and passers on Michigan avenue the
assuredfy offensive sight of moving trains,
will also efectually cut off the view of
Lake Michigan, which gives the avenue its
attraction Railway Age

in the grass and doubled up, and as he

Days and years crept toward their sum
