TO BE EXPENDED ON IMPROVE
MENTS ON THE WYOMING
DIVISION UNION PACIFIC.
Hill to Be Cut Down and Sew
~enty-six Miles of Track to Be
Doubled-WiIl Reduce Trip From
New York to San Francisco to
Three and One-haIf Days-Rail-
road Notes.

The Union Pacific has let contracts
for doubling 144.4 miles of its rack
this year, 76.4 miles of the work to be
done in Wyoming. The double tracks
are all to be placed so that they will
connect with other double tracks al
ready laid and give two sections of
double track complete between Silver
Creek and Watson's Ranch in Ne
braska and between Cheyenne and
Laramie in Wyoming.
This work is being done in connec-
ton with the expenditure of 100000
900 which f. H.. Hartman has planned
for the purpose of making it possible
to go from New York to San Francisco
in three and one-half days. The work
in Wyoming will cost $1,5OO,OOO, and
the Union Pacific will have 10000 men
working on track and roadbed in Wyo-
ming and Nebraska this spring.
The biggest part of the work planned
for Wyoming is that of the reduction
of the grade on Archer hill and the
double tracking of this sixteen miles.
The grade at present is so great that
freight trains have to be split and
taken over the hill in two sections.
This has caused a great deal Of delay
on this section of the road. The work
i'm Echo canon is of somewhat the same
character, and will give the Union Pa
ciic a track with few curves in it and
put it in shape for a double track at
Slightly increased cost.
There are 1,O1O miles of track on the
line from Omaha to Ogden. and one,
~seventh of this amount will be double
tracked this year, which, with that al,
ready built, will give them a double
track for more than one-ffth of the
route.
The Southern Pacific is making prep
arations for the building of a tunnel
Through the mountains in Nevada at a
cost of $4,000, 900. This work is in
line with thai being done on the Union
Pacific, and will probably be begun
within a year.

Mr.. Green states that 1t is the inten-
