Panama, Canal Project Stimulates Railroad
Extension.-.Roads Desire to Reach
Gulf Ports.

OF the extraordinary amount OF
railroad building that has been pro-
jectod to be built In 1906. the Gulf
territory will receive more than its
usual proportion of miles Of road to
be constructed, The proposed Pana-
ma Canal Is generally conceded to
be the cause OF this. The Baltimore
Manufacturers Record. In its next
issue will print. the following:
Since the United States gave as
uranc that a Panama canal would
be constructed, the owners OF ex'
listing lines which reach ports on the
Gulf OF Mexico have been stimulated
10 improve their facilities, and the
projectors OF new railways are now
Inspired to prepare their plans also
with a view toward handling freight
destined for q marine route via the
GREAT interoceanic waterway.
The most notable of these new pro-
jections Is the extension of the Flori-
ida East Coast railway to Key West,
O conspicuous chiefly because OF
It's daring engineering and construct.
ion which challenge wind and wave,
although the future will probably find
II more notable In facilities for reach
ing Havana and the lsthmain canal.
The starting of this work, now VIII
under way. has been followed by
divers announcements Of sche'nes to
huild other lines to points on the guiT,
none. OF course so far seward as
Key West, but each and every n
presenting inducements 0 or less
inviting to persuade railroad con'
struction thither.
But there are also other transpor-
tation plans looking outward and
which are not yet carried out that
were conceived and Incorporated be
fore the extension of the Flagler line
began. Thus the advantages OF the
tidewater outlet for railroad frelghts
via the Gulf of Mexico were early re-
allied, and the number OF new rail-
road plans based upon that realizat-
ion testifies to it's value, which Will
be greater than ever on the complet-
ion of the canal.
One of the most recent projects for
a line of any magnitude to the gull
is that of the Augusta & Florida rail-
road company, which proposes TO
connect several existing railroads In
Georgia by building links between
them and thus secure a very direct
and advantageous route to the quiz.
Still others are those of the Birming'
ham, Columbus 4 st. Andrews Bay
railway and of the Atlanta 4 Gull
Las Vegas daily optic. [volume] (Las Vegas, N.M.) 1880-1908, 1906-03-29

railroad, both of which arc building
lines, one to connect the great iron
center of Alabama with the coast
and the other to give the capital OF
Georgia a similar connection. Al
Pensacola, Fla. there are two or three
projects, one for making a connection
from the Central OF Georgia and an
other for building a line from Mem
phis.
In Alabama there are still other
plans conceived for building from
Birmingham to the gulf and In Mis-
sissippi several companies have IN
view southern outlets to the a One
OF the progressive companies IN the
latter state Is the Gulf 4 Ship Island
railroad, which already has facilities
at Gulfport OF no small capacity and
which Is extending Its railroad lines.
The Mobile, Jackson 4 Kansas City
railroad which has lately completed
it's road northward to Middleton.
Tenn, Is also governed by an enter
prising spirit and may be expected
to build other extensions. Its port,
as indicated by the name OF the
company is Mobile. The Mississippi
Central Is also extending. In Louis.
lana the line of the Louisiana Rail
way & Navigation company Is last
approaching New Orleans. and upon
its competitor another railroad there
will have attained a gulf outlet.
The Kansas City Southern is also
said to be reaching out quietly to en-
ter New Orleans, and the construction
of a new line, which is recognized as
a branch for that company, is already
under way. The New Orleans Great
Northern Is another important pro-
iect. Moreover. the Colorado South
ern, New Orleans 4 Pacific railway,
now building between DeQuincy, La,
and Baton Rouge, is authorized TO
build a branch directly southwark to
a point on the Louisiana gulf cost.
Other companies which propose to
build lines likewise aspire to each
tidewater through the latter state.
In Texas 1t Is Port Arthur and
Galveston which the new roads most
~ endeavor to reach. In fact, the
st. Louis. Brownsville & Mexico rail-
way, or Gulf Coast Route ha just
completed its extension to Galveston,
and there are numerous projects in
c%orporated which aim to reach tide
at some point or other, n OF which
has in contemplation according to re-
zen announcements a line from Win
nipeg, Manitoba, to the Texas coast.
