EXTENT OF THE SYSTEM

From the first ten miles completed in l l84S, the Northwestern has grown to be one of the finest railroad properties in the
 world, consisting of s 900 miles of perfect ly equipped railway, traversng the rich- est and most populous sections of the nine great states Of Illinois, Wisconsin. Michi gan. Iowa. North and South Dakota, Ne. braska, Montana and Wyoming. while its through car lines extend to points in Colorado Utah. Nevada, California Idaho. Oregon and Washington. Over 115 miles of side tracks in the city of Chicago give it connections with and outlet by all the lines entering this city. By traffic arrange. ments with other lines it reaches with its own cars 1850 stations, located on II .OGO miles of railroad. It has on its lines more manufacturing industries than any other railway in the West. It has done more to develop the resources of the country through which it passes. than any other agency. Shippers over the Northwestern Line are always pleased with the prompt service and excellent facilities for hand. ling shipments great and small,

DOUBLE TRACKS .


 P To meet the growing demands upon this great railway system, active arrangements are in progress for double tracks to the Missouri river on the west, and to St. Paul on the north. Already more than roo miles of double tracks have been laid, reaching from Chicago half across the state of Iowa, and also into the state of Wisconsin, together with double tracks on many other important divisions. Dur ing these improvements in trackage, new stations on all divisions are being con stantly erected, and grounds beautifled with lawns and flowers.
 SIGNAL SYSTEM.
 The line is protected by the Hall and manual system of signals. The Hall sig nal system provides that but cue train shall be on certain division at a time. These signals are operated automatically by the trains themselves. so that it is im- possible for trains 10 get together on the same track The manual system of sig nals is operated by men in towers on di- visions where traffic does not require au- toma.ic means of signals The system is practically the same as the automatic, be- ing just as safe and efficient.
 2S4 TRAINS A DAY.
 For the accommodation of the enormous passenger traffic of the Northwestern Line at Chicago, 2s4 trains daily are required in and out of the Wells street station. which is more than the number handled at any other seation in Chicago. Tie hansling Of this traffic requires the most perfect arrangements and terminal facili- ties. as delay in one train Is apt to disor- range .he schedule Of an entire day
