PROGRESS OF
WESTERN PACIFIC
OVER HALF WAY THROUGH
THE BECKwOURTH PASS
TUNNEL.

The Western Pacific is now more
than half way through its 60O0-foot
tunnel at Beckwourth pass, the low
est of all the natural openings
through the lofty Sierra barrier. says
the San Francisco Chronicle.
The pass is formed by table land
upon which the ridges of the Sierra
dwindle until they leave a decided
gap through the range, forming a
level valley of about 1000 acres. As
the pass makes a horseshoe curve to
the southwark, the Western Pacific
which is everywhere making cut-offs,
regardless of cost of original con-
struction, is running its line UNDER
ground on a direct course that will
pass under the northern spur that
tapers down to the pass proper.
This Beckwourth pass was named
after a pioneer guide and pathfinder.
named Jim Beckwourth, a negro, but
it has long been confused in name
with a small town up in that region
called Beckwith, after an army Off
GER. Beckwourth pass is the ideal
gateway in the Sierra, as it is 1000
feet lower than any other known
opening through the range.
When the Central Pacific engineers
made their surveys they recognized
the grade advantages of this route,
but the initial transcontinental rail-
road could not risk the necessary en-
ormous expenditure. Hartman, rec
ognizing lost opportunity, is debat-
ing whether or not to spend $3O,OOO.-
600 in boring gigantic tunnel
through the Sierra at a much lower
level than the present Central route.
in order to overcome the expense, and
the traffic difficulties of the tremen-
dous climb over barrier 1000 feet
high.
Beckwourth pass is 1000 feet lower
than the Southern Pacific passage of
the Sierra, and is below the snow
line; but to reach and use this pass
the Gould system, with its network
of 10000 miles of transcontinental
tracks to Harrimans $4,000 miles.
has not spared expense. The West
ern Pacific is boring forty-three tun-
nels, making an aggregate of $4,000
feet, or eight and half miles of un-
foreground cut-offs. The longest is
the Spring Garden tunnel beyond
Oroville, which is to be 1900 feet.
Then comes the Beckwourth tunnel.
5000 feet; the Flower Lake tunnel
over in Nevada, 1864 feet, and the
next the Niles Canyon tunnel. 1000
feet.
Between San Francisco and Winnie
mucca, New, the Southern Pacific has
a line sixty-three miles shorter than
the Western Pacific route, but the
Western Pacific will save a climb of
1000 feet, and claims that with it's
easier grade it will be able to make
passenger train run in the same time
with only one engine, where the
Southern Pacific will have to use two.
and spend twice as much for operat-
ing expenses. But it is in freight
hauls that the Western Pacific ex-
poets to score its great saving. It will
be able to pull the biggest possible
freight trains with only one engine.
The valley land about Beckwourth
pass now produces hay only, but il
is said to be capable of good agricul-
tural crops if water can be brought
upon the land
