FIRST OCEAN TO OCEAN LINE

q Alton and B. & o. Railway
Now Pending-Mexieo on the
Line.

Until George J. Gould began to rea.
lie the joining OF all the Gould lines
from Baltimore to San Francisco
there was no substantial project for
an American transcontinental route.
The Canadian Pacific is the only
North American railroad that stretch
es across the country from the Allan
tic ocean to the Pacific, and for years
this Canadian line has been sole and
supreme as a transcontinental sys-
tenn.
Harriman's plan, which is now
maturing, to give control of the
Baltimore & Ohio system, the Nor.
folk s. Western, the Chesapeake &
Ohio and the Chicago s. Alton to the
Union Pacific will materialize the
first transcontinental line in the
United States.
BY acquiring the B. & o., extend
ing from st. Louis to the Atlantic
seaboard, and the Chicago s. Alton,
extending from st. Louis to Kansas
City, Hartman will form a transcon-
tinental route as IL by magic. The
system will be complete at once.
The would put Mexico on the map
In a big way.
