DOUBLE TRACKS IN TEXAS
Several Stretches of Line Now in
Need of Improvement to In
crease Traffic Facilities.

Within the next few years, ii is
main trunk lines in Texas will be
forced TO double track the greater
part of their lines on certain stretch
es where the traffic is heavy At
present double track is needed on
several lines between important
traffic points, and even now i'm
provements are being made in this
direction. The Texas and Pacific,
two or three years ago, began the
work of building long sidings be-
tween Fort Worth and Dallas, and it
is probable that third of the dis
lance is equipped with double track.
During the panic the Texas and Pa
cific stopped this improvement work,
but lately there are signs of renewed
activity in that direction The in
creased Importance of industrial
centers in the West Dallas section
has made double track almost a
necessity, and this work may be
done In the near future, according
to rumors.
The Galveston, Houston and Hen
derson railroad over which several
railroad systems do their Galveston
Houston business, has thirteen miles
of double track, it is reported. Every
,nl iu, Of n n
Galveston, Houston and Henderson
will be greatly increased as Calves
ton grows in importance as a port,
and the further tonnage which will
result when the Panama Canal is
completed. The Galveston, Houston
and Henderson runs over level
country, and the cost of building
another track the entire distance
would not be excessive and the en-
gineering problems would be simple.
The Trinity & Brazos Valley uses
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas rails
between Dallas and Waxahachie.
This is one of the busiest pieces OF
track on the Katy system in Texas.
The Katy's own freight business in
and out of Dallas is heavy, not to
mention the through freight from
the north to the gulf. The Brazos
Valley is owned in part by the Rock
Island and in part by the Colorado
and Southern. which in turn is the
