WHEN THE BURLINGTON WAS
SMALL.
"A Folder of 1874 Shows What the
Great Railroad was Then.

An interesting relic of the early DAYS
OF the Burlington Route is in the form
OF an official time table for the road.
dated May IL, 1874, which has recently
come to light. The entire affair is but
one sheet of very light paper. The two
inside pages contain the schedules.
AT that time the Burlington in Ne.
braska comprised only 239 miles of
road. There was a stretch of seventeen
miles between Omaha and Oreapolis
and l9l miles more on the main line be.
tween Omaha and Kearney. Then a
branch line from Crete to Beatrice made
t%hirty-one more. There were eight
trains = day on the main line and two
on the Crete branch. . Plattsmouth was
the location Of! headquarters in all de.
%partrnents.
In q little more than . quarter of a
century the Burlington has grown from
q little local line to the second longest
railroad in America and it has not yet
reached the limit. Today the Burling.
toms lines traverse eleven Of the great.
est states in the Union, over $500 miles
of track. These lines employ IS, OOO
men; own 1000 engines, 1900 passenger
and 10000 freight cars; operate eoC
trains q day; and maintain stations al
200 towns and cities.
