ROOF Island PROGRESS.
Yearly Performance of Locomotives
Shown Since 1857.

The mechanical department of the
Rock Island railway recently prepared
a statement for the Information of the
officials of the road, showing the year
ay comparison of performances of loco
motives since 1857. From this state
ment a good idea can be had of the
progress made by the Rock Island
road during the past 40 years.
In 1857 the main line extended from
Chicago to Iowa City, then the CAPT
tai of Iowa, a distance of 236 miles.
Since that time the road has pushed
westward via Omaha,St. Joe and Kan
sas City to Denver, Colorado Springs,
Pueblo and south to FIT Worth, and
now has 3,571 miles of track.
In 1887 the company owned SO en-
Eines that made a total yearly mileage
of 954,24 miles and hauled 61S, ABS 908
pounds of freight. Today it owns 564
engines. making a total yearly mileage
of 1852 5S7 miles, and hauling 14,50O,-
100000 pounds of freight.
During the year 1857 it cost per mile
run $50. %, the engines being equipped
with wood burners Today the eX-
pense is but $15.26, having been re
