Considerable money will be spent |
this year by the Santa Fe management
for equipment. During the past two
years the bulk of the money expended |
went into the improvement of the track, |
and as a consequence the roadbei is now
in excellent condition and some of the |
surplus earnings can be turned to other |
uses.
Much of the money set aside for equip |
ment will be paid out in this city, as the |
greater part of the new equipment will |
be built at the general shops here. If
the earnings of the road suffer no misfor- |
tune Of one kind or another this year |
will prove to be steady year at the |
shops here.
Ten new locomotives will be turned out |
before the first of next January. Every |
one Of the ten will be of the heavy com. |

time in all kinds of weather, with long
freight trains. Furniture ears and coal |
cars will be built to as great a number as
can be done without interfering with the
regular repair work in the carpenter
shop. These cars will each have n cana.
