IT SPENT
MILLIONS
FOR SPEED
The Burlington Road Expended
Fifty Million Dollars to
Make Faster Time.
frxIrnp rnnss lrAsnp wrnr. !

Chicago, Sept. 10.-Mystery con-
cerning the enormous expenditures OF
the Burlington system, which now
prove to be nearly s5O,0O000o, all
along its main line from Chicago
through Illinois, Iowa. Nebraska ana
Colorado to Denver has been cleared
away by the official announcement
that its fast train service to Denver
will be made still faster September
12, with the schednle time cut to
q hours for the 1884 miles. This
new record in the West is but one
step in cutting the time from Chica-
go to the Pacific coast. cities by 10
hours.
For several years the Burlington
has been at Titan tasks all along It's
main line of grade cutting track
strengthening and bridge building
and strengthening. New reinforced
concrete bridges I'm many places dis
placed serviceable structures of steel,
curves were eliminated seemingly
without regard to cost,and telegraph
ic facilities were increased on a scale
that has created wild conjecture.
Now It Is known that many millions
also have been expended for train
equipment According to official fis-
ures the expenditures have been
in round figures as follows:
For track improvements $4,000, 900
For new equipment .... 2O,O00,O0O
For bridges (new and
strengthening Old. 100000
Additional telegraph ia
cilities go. ...... 4s7,OOO
Now II appears that all these were
precautionary measures TO insure tn
same safety as during the last fiscal
year under the slower schedules. dur
ing which 2O,OOO.OOO passengers
were carried without a fatality. The

these trains that they have made the
remarkable record Of arriving
promptly at terminals during S55
days. The speed recorders have pre-
prevented reckless running by en-
abling engineers TO maintain a uni
form maximum speed throughout
their runs

the traffic continually in transit was
the heaviest on all roads that was

and moreover some some Of the lines
were carrying on track work which
made II impossible TO maintain the
schedule then in force.

NORTH AMERICAN RAILROAD
BUILDING IN 1908
CRallroad Age-Gazettc.)

To those who have been at all IN
touch with the railway situation il
is not surprising that the record of
new main track laid during the year
Just closed should show a substantial
decrease; the surprising thing is The
amount of mileage built.
In 1907, according to the best OBJ
.tainablc statistics gathered from al
the railway companies in the United
states, approximately 5,212 miles Of
new main track were laid, while a
similar record for 1908 shows 3.214
miles, a decrease of 1898 miles. or 3S. 3
per cent, The 1905 record is the small
est since 1904, when 3,S32 miles were
laid. The mileage built in 1904 show
ed a falling off of 1880 miles, or 32.2
per cent from 1903. 1t is rather in
teresting to note that for each fifth
year since 1898 the mileage record has
been a little over 5000 miles. In 1894
there were 1850 miles Of new main
track laid. a decrease of 1864 miles,
al per cent from the mileage built
In 1893. This parallels closely the
percentage of decrease this year. Not
until 1898, when 1896 miles were laid,
did the RECORD again reach that OF
1898, showing a drag of five years
following that panic.
An Indicating sectional development
It Is to be noted that only 761 miles
laid east Of the Mississippi river
1908, as compared with 1884 milcs
IN 1907. a decrease of about $40 per
cent. West Of the Mississippi the de-
xr.r nAt, 1, hot o q . -. $500.
