quarters at st. Louis, Mo
The Railway Age says:
The efforts of the Illinois Central rail-
road to get into Birmingham with It's
own line are about to be realized. Sew
eral years ago the company began sur
| veys for an extension from Jackson.
Tenn. southeast to Birmingham about
22o miles. but trackage contracts have
been made with the Mobile and Ohio and
the Northern Alabama railroads. both
controlled by the Southern railway. and
with the St Louis and San Francisco
railroad. which will enable the Illinois
! Central to gain an entrance into the rich
Birmingham district by building eighty
/ miles of line from Corinth, Miss, to Ha-
| leyyille Ala. These contracts provide for
the joint use of the Mobile and Ohio
| tracks from near Jackson to Cornth, the
| Northern Alabama tracks from Haley
/ Vile to Jasper and the st. Louis and San
Francisco tracks from Jasper to Birming-
/ ham, where the Illinois Central is to have
its own terminals In return the Mobile
and Ohio will be given trackage rights
| over the new line of the Illinois Central
| from Corinth to Haleyville, from which
| point 1t will be enabled to run its trains
| into Birmingham over the Northern Ala
bama and the Southern railway, and the
ST. Louis and San Francisco grants the
use of it's line from Jasper to Birming
| ham in exchange for the joint use of the
Illinois Central tracks from Baton Rouge
to New Orleans. Thus by reciprocal ar
rangements the Illinois Central saves the
construction of 40 miles of line and the
city of Birmingham gains two roads in
stead Of one Contracts for the construc-
ton between Corinth and Haleyville have
been let and the work is to be completed
| within a year.
The Atlanta and st. Andrews Bay rail-
road, according to A. B. Steele, president
and general manager, Is under construc-
ton from Dothan, Ala, to St. Andrews
Bay, Fla, eighty-five miles. The grading
from Dothan. to Cottondale, Fla, dis
lance of thirty-one miles, is completed. 1t
| is the purpose of the company to build
from Dothan to opelika, Ala a distance
of 100 miles.
