Chief Engineer Morse. Of the Santa
Fe, announced . few days ago in St.
Louis that second tunnel will be
driven through Ration mountain,
New Mexico. II will cost $50. 600.
Work on the new tunnel will be
started within thirty days and il is
expected it will be completed in
eight months. II will be 500 feet
long. 1t will parallel the present
one under the mountain and will
connect the ends Of the second track
which has been built to either side
Of the mountain. The walls Of the
new tunnel will be sixteen feseapart
At the base and about q foot wider
At the spring Of the arch. the center
Of which will be twenty-five feet
above the floor.
This announcement, following
close upon the one that the Santa Fe
would spend SIS 900. 600 on improve
ments. is strong indication that the
entire line will be double-tracked,
and is evidence that the company
expects to make the present main
line carry traffic to its fullest capac-
ity. even though the Belen cut-o6
has been built. Ration mountain has
been one Of the greatest obstacles
the Santa Fe has had to contend
with. Another tunnel would greatly
facilitate the getting Of trains
through Northern New Mexico and
Southern Colorado.
