BOTH TRACKS IN USE.
The New Highway Bridge Open to
Electric Trains.

Cars Of the Washington, Alexandria and
Mt. Vernon electric railway. both north
bound and southbound, are using the
tracks on the new Highway bridge. The
first train. bound for Alexandria, crossed
the bridge Thursday. but the northbound
tracks We're not used by trains until last
night. During the day force of workmen
were straining every muscle to prepare the
track on the fill across the swamp and
across Gravelly run, and the finishing
touches were put to that task after dusk
last evening. Then the track was thrown
open for southbound trains. the $50 local
out of Washington being the first to take
the new route.
This latest improvement not only means
that the old Long bridge has finally been
abandoned by the trolley company, but 1t
means that there is now a double track on
the line all the way from Washington to
Alexandria. with the exception OF the
bridge crossing over Columbia pike.
For the present the northbound trains
will continue to use the temporary. track
laid along the line of the driveway ap-
proach on the Virginia side of the river,
making long curve to the Alexandria pike
and back to the new right of way. The
work of laying the northbound track across
the new fill has not yet been begun.
