Construction work on the double
track line from Pueblo. Colo, to Wal
senburg for the Denver and Rio Grande
and the Colorado and Southern is about
to begin. This new line will parallel
the Rio Grande's old single track line
between these two cities for the en-
tire distance, but will have the ad-
vantage of lower grades and fewer
curves. The Utah construction com
pany, which is collecting its forces and
equipment preparatory to pushing the
work along as rapidly as possible, is
the same company which built the
largest part of the Western Pacific
Engineers estimate that the new
line will cost in the neighborhood of
$4.0oo.o00. The road will be As miles
long and construction is expected to
be costly and difficult. 1t will be nee
essary to excavate about 1850 900 yards
Of earth, $1,000 yards of loose rock and
100000 yards of solid rock. Besides
this immense amount of excavation the
material from which will be used in
fills. it will be necessary to secure
100000 additional cubic yards of earth
to complete. the fills.
There Will be needed 1850 tons of
steel rails, $4,000 rail joints, $4,000
tie plates, 5000 kegs of spikes, 500 kegs
of track bolts, 800 tons of cast iron
pipe and 376 tons of steel for bridge
construction. The laying of the track
Will require about $4,000 ties and 5o.-
000' bags of cement will be necessary
for the construction of bridge founda-
tions and culverts.
The construction company will estab-
lish a number or camps along the line.
and construction will proceed on sew
eral portions at the same time Con-
siderable difficulty is expected in secur-
Ing sufhcient supply of water to sup
ply some OF the outlying camps 1t
Will be necessary in many places to
sink wells and in others to pipe water
long distances. Several thousand men
will be at work in a few days.
