Double.tracking Southern R. ".

The Southern Railway now has Its
trains passing over 40 miles of the new
double track it is laying between Alex
andria and Orange. The entire section
between Alexandria and Manassas is in
service. and the Southern and the Chesa-
peake and Ohio trains have been passing
over it for a month or more at a rate OF
speed only possible on a double track
and a road in which dangerous curves
have been eliminated. Of the other fifty
two miles between Manassas and Orange
about 80 per cent. of the grading is
finished, aud twenty-nine and one-hali
miles of the tracking has been laid,
while there is yet twenty-three miles OF
track to lay. 1t is expected that the
whole work will be completed and that
trains will be running the entire length
of the line between Alexandria and
Orange by June l. The double-track-
ing between Orange and Alexandria is
only a part of a general plan the South
ern has put on foot to have a double
track road between Washington and
Atlanta. The plan was put on foot IN
1901 and1t is being carried out as rapidly
as good business principles will permit.
After this is finished the missing links
will be filled in, and in the course OF
very few years the whole system between
Washington and Atlanta will be double
tracked. The Southern Railway people
are confident that they will mark a new
era in the development of the sunny
South when they complete the double
track To Atlanta.
