Double Tracking Of the Santa Fe.
II will be a colossal undertaking to
double track the Santa Fe railway
from Chicago to California and the
Gulf Of Mexico, but that this Is to be
done has Just been announced by
President Ripley Of that system. who
has been on his vacation In California.
The plan Of two tracks from the great
lakes to the Pacific ocean does not
necessarily imply that the tracks will
be laid parallel. In many cut
offs will be used, thus saving In
mileage as well as train operation.
BY the close Of 1906 the Santa Fe
will have more than 300 miles Of
double track in operation. Second
tracks are now being built as follows:
To finish the gap between Chicago
and Joliet; between several points In
Missouri, a%ggregating forty miles; to
finish the Emporia cutoff; east. west
and south Of Newton, in Kansas, and
on both sides Of Ration mountain In
Colorado and New Mexico.
Thomas Corrigan. a Pueblo railroad
contractor. has a large force Of men
now engaged In double tracking the
Santa FEES line from Lynn to Hillside,
N. NJ. a distance Of about seventeen
miles owe the hilliest country on the
entire Santa Fe system. After this
work Is completed, which will prob.
ably consume from ninety to 800 days,
1t Is said that the Santa Fee will then
start double tracking the line from
Ration. N. NJ, through La Junta, and
Pueblo to Denver. which will complete
what is known as the half circle"

Gould Gets Rio Grande Connection.
A late telegram from FL Paso says:
positive assurances the past few days
leave 1t beyond doubt that the Den
yer & Rio Grande railway has ac-
CURED the right of way of the El
Paso & Durango railroad from the
Phelps-Dodge people and will at once
begin the construction of a line from
Durango, Colo, to connect there with
the Denver & Rio Grande to Masto-
don, N. NJ, ten miles from Ell Paso
on the El Paso & Southwestern.
1t is also stated that in consideration
for the transfer of the right of way
privileges and a trackage agreement
whereby the Denver & Rio Grande
might run its trains into FL Paso owe
the tracks of the Ell Paso & South
western through the mountain pass
the Gould interests have granted Ger.
tain coal privileges to the Phelps.
Dodge people from the coal fields In
Colorado. besides paying a GOOD price
for the concessions of the latter.
Railroad men here believe that be
yond a doubt The road which is to be
built from FL Paso to Durango, Colo.
is merely a connecting link in the
transcontinental line which George
Gould is building. They say that it
