DOUBLE TRACK LAID.
on Washington, Alex
andria and Mt. Vernon Railway.

With the exception of a short piece of
track over the bridge that crosses the tidal
basin outlet at the foot of 14th street, the
Washington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon
railroad is double tracked between Spring
Park, at the west end Of Alexandria, and
the station at 18th street and Pennsylvania
avenue. The greater part of the line was
double tracked about two years ago. but
where the railroad crossed above the Column
bia pike, in Alexandria county, there was
single-track bridge. Within the past ten
days another steel bridge has been thrown
across the county road and the double
tracks were connected, making them con-
tlnuous between Alexandra and this CITY.
Work Is In progress for double tracks across
the new concrete bridge over the tidal
basin, and 1t is expected that they will be
In use within the next six weeks.
1t Is also proposed to extend the doub,e
track across Hoff's run, at <..exandria. and
then down Cameron street to connect with
the present line on that street, thus giving
practically solid double track from the
columbus street station in Alexandria to
the station in this city.
