BRIDGE EVERY MILE
STRETCH OF RAILROAD TRACK
THAT IS UNIQUE.
Chicago, Milwaukee a St. Paul Rail-
road Has New Record for Num-
Der Of Bridges In a Single
Territory.

One OF the most remarkable
stretches Of railroad track In the
world win be encountered by the pas
sengers who, within few months,
win be able TO take passage for east
ern cities over the new Chicago, Mil
waukee & 81. Paul. when he passes
along the Musselshel river. separat'
ing Fergus and Yellowstone counties.
The stretch referred to is 1l5 miles In
length and in travelling over this sec
ton the passenger will go from Fer
gus into Yellowstone county SO times
and return into Fergus county IS times
during the ride. He win thus
have crossed the county line separat-
ing the two counties 1T times. When
It Is considered that the line which
separates the two political divisions
is nothing more nor less than the
Musselshell river, the feat will become
even more remarkable. For each
crossing Of the line there Is bridge,
hence III bridges have been CON
structed in a distance Of ll5 miles
This is an average Of more than one
bridge to every mile. and III separate
opportunities for the despondent pas
senger desiring to commit suicide by
drowning.
This fact was included in the report
OF the new road filed with the state
board OF equalization, and shows the
amount Of track It had on March /,
which will be subject to taxation this
year. The report indicates the point
where the road enters the state, and
follows the course OF its line through
Fergus county. "The line enters the
state and passes easterly through
Custer county to the county line be-
tween Yellowstone and Fergus coun-
ties" says the report Continuing in
generally easterly direction II
crosses the Musselshell river, which is
the dividing line between the county
OF Fergus. on the north side, and the
county Of Yellowstone. on the south
side Of the river, III times, passing
thereby into Fergus county 50 times
and from Fergus county into Yellow
stone county IS times"
The report shows further that the
road has total OF 174.6S miles OF
roadway In the state, with 1870 miles
OF siding. This length OF rail is di-
vided between four counties as fol-
lows: Custer, roadway 1920, side
track TAT; Meagher, roadway, 26.O7,
sidetrack 1.2S; Yellowstone, roadway
3O.41. sidetrack $40; Fergus, roadway
40. sidetrack 3.O5. Coming up Sixteen
Mile canyon in Meagher and Fergus
counties the railroad has been con
structed, and crosses the creek more
times, II possible. than the old road.
The Montana railroad formerly held
the record for the number Of bridges
in a given stretch in Montana. It had
two bridges to every mile. Now, how
ever, It is probable that in a stretch Of
almost zoe miles the Milwaukee holds
the worlds record for bridges. The
bridges have been constructed in such
great numbers IN order 10 follow an
afr line as nearly as possible, and also
to eliminate grades to some extent
