ROUT E
FOLDERS INDICATE LINE
FROM DENVER TO GULF
Only Few Connecting Links Yet
to Be Built When Big System
viii Run Direct.

Tho most reccas s0iGeis OF The Santa
Re contain the dotted lines Indicating
the proposed right OF way Of the new
Denver to the Gulf main line of the
Santa Zee. About thrce-fourths of the
line between Denver and Galveston H.
already built, only two connecting
links remaining to be built before the
Santa Fe will have almost rs direct a
route between these two terminals.
Denver and Galveston, IS the Colorado
& Southern. These two links that are
nov to be completed within the next
year extend between French and
Clovis, ~. NJ, ana between Clovis on
the cutoff to Coleman, Texas, a total
distance OF about $40 miles. Tuoum-
carl is almost midway on the extern
sion between French and Clovis, and
It is the connecting link between Clo-
Wis and Tucumcari that is now i'm
the process of actual construction. Ii
is rumored that tentative arrange
ments have been made by the Santa
Fe with the Eel Paso a Southwestern
TO use their tracks between French
Tucumcari.
Perfect Railroad Record.
Some 800, 900 efficiency tests were
held last year by the Pennsylvania
railroad and practically q perfect rec
ord was made by The employees. Eff
cheney tests arc conducted by the Off
cials of the road, who, ut unusual
times and places, set signals at cau-
ton or danger, display fuses or place
%torpedoes on the track with a view
to keeping all employees constantly on
the alert for any and all signals. Fail
ure to observe any of the rules re-
garding the operation iof trains is
considered aus for discipline.
Work on New Shops.
Engineers have gone over the site
Of the proposed new machine shop
building ut san Bernardino and within
another three weeks it is expected
work will be started.
According to the present plan, the
first steps in the actual construction
Of the new shops will be in the plae-
ing Of four 175-foot stripping pits to
be located north of the present build
ing. over one of these pits is to be
placed a powerful hoist capable OF
lifting 200 tons. and with which it
viii be possible to lift an engine clear
IF its driving wheels. This is also TO
ne q dron pit.
The north half of the proposed
,uilding will be started and completed
the ground is cleared for the
'emainder. This is to be done in order
o make il possible for the machines
n the north end of the present shop
o be transferred and the vacated
mace turned over to the boilermakers. !
The boiler shop, which now occupies
portion of the ground on which the
end of the building is to be
must be RACED and before
his can be done it is necessary for
,ther quarters to be provided. on the
completion of the south end Of the
lew building the remainder of the
machine shop equipment viii be
transferred and the rest of the pres
mt building given over for the tank
hop. !
In the arranging OF the new build
ne it is the intention to group as far
s possible the machines Of similar
and then place toremen
Yer each division, in this manner
establishing a new system OF super
Using the work of the men.
