Hospital Cars, Telephone Service.
This will be wonderful year for
the railroads. Already, says the
Technical World, plans have been au-
nounced for the laying OF s 600 miles of
new track which will cost $780,
900, 600.
just oompl eted is the San Pedro,
Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad,
running southwest from the Mormon
capital through what was yesterday a
desert. lt is unique among the rail
roads Of the world in having b3en built
and paid for in cash h by two men
Senator Clark, of Montana, and X. Ii.
Hartman, without the issue Of a single
bond.
Every where, East and West, the
railroads are cutting down their steep
grades digging long tunnels and
strengthening curves, all for the Eur
pose Of cutting down expenses. And
chiefly because of bumper crops and
increased factory production, all the
roads are ordering new equipment at a
rate which will keep the mills busy Tor
many months.
During 1915 new locomotives to the
number OF O. 800 we're ordered, together
with B. 500 passenger cars and $40, 600
freight cars. These last figures give a
good idea of the relative Importance
of passenger ana freight traffic to a
large railroad. The rail mills started
the new year with orders for :, $500, 600
tons on their books. ,f..
In spite of these great orders and
in spite Of the best efforts of the rail
road managers pile after pile of thous-
ands of bushels OF corn has been heaped
up on the giound IN Iowa, Kansas
and Nebraska for want of storage room
or transportation facilities, while in
North Dakota alone more than a
million bushels of wheat has rotted on
the ground for want Of freight uars
to move 1t.
IL seems to be generally agreed that
the passenger car OF the future will be
built entirely Of steel. A large factory
for constructing steel cars is now being
built in Pennsylvania by one Of the
prominent car building companies.
and when completed it will have a
I capacity Of fifty to one hundred steel
| passenger cars a month.
A number Of these cars are also being
| built 10 this country for some of the
/ London underground roads. Cars Of
| this type are expected largely 10 de-
crease the number OF casualties In the
case Of wrecks and collisions, as il is
practically impossible to teleaooops

been given to tha subject 4 electric

action Of the New York Central and
