Double Tracks In the South

The growth of the southeast is made plain in the need for double tracks. The Southern Is steadily at work com pleting the double tracking of its main line from Washington to Charlotte. It's double tracking already covers ITS miles, leaving 2o5 miles to be improved down to Chalotte. When Charlotte is reached no doubt the need for a double ent. The Louisville and Nashville is also engaged in like work and when the southeast has a double track main line to New York and another to the middle west it will have means of communication more nearly up to its present needs. The Illinois Central really has a double track to New Or leans through the possession of two parallel lines through the state of Mis- sissippi.
 Not long ago the middle west had n1 doubled tracks to the east but that section had outgrown single track lines and is now well supplied with double tracks. The southeast, though a little belated, is keeping up with the procession and in the next five years the great lines of this section will be provided with double tracks, simply be- cause the business offered to them ex- ceeds the capacity of transportation over single track lines. The fact that the south is outgrowing single track lines is the best of evidence of the de- velopment and growth that is steadily taking place in this section of the country, It is a milestone in southern progress and the experienced observer will not fail to notice it as he goes whirling over southern rails.
