RAILWAY BUILDING IN 1907
Number OF Miles Constructed, $3.50,
Which Almost Equals Record OF
Last Year.-Better Protec-
ton Provided.

According to statistics compiled BY
the Railway Age of Chicago. the rail.
road construction in the United States
has been nearly as heavy in 1907 as
In 1906, which was the heaviest year
since 1883.
The total number of miles OF new
track laid this year has been $3.50,
of which 4S2 miles were in Louisi-
ana, 341 In Florida, 3S5 in South
Dakota, 314 in Texas and 311 in
Washington. In Canada during the
same time, 723 miles were built, and
S49 in Mexico.
The greater part of the new track
was laid before the financial strin-
gency, only a small amount of mile
age being constructed after Septem-
ber.
The orders for freight and pas
senger cars and locomotives in 1907
We're smaller than at any time dur
ing the last seven years. The volume
of orders for this part of railroad
equipment was about 55 per cent of
the total of 1905 and 1906.
The year has been notable for the
increase in the number of block sig
nails installed, the increase having
been 3,721 for the twelve months
ending December 81.
