SOUTHERN TO 500 USE
NEW DOUBLE TRACKS

Washington, D. c., April 7.-South.
ern railway passenger trains between
Washington and the south will begin
using the new double track low grade
line through Lynchburg, Va, on Sun
day, April l6, according to announce
ment made today by Vice-president
and General Manager E. H. Coapman.
Freight trains have been operated
over this line for several weeks and
the beginning Of passenger service
will mark the full use of this very
remarkable piece of railroad i'm
provement.
The revision through Lynchburg.
va, was begun nearly five years ago
and has involved an entire change of
line for seven miles, a double track
on very favorable grades taking the
place of the old single track. A
steel bridge 1850 feet long and $50
feet high over the James river and
tunnel 1900 feet long under River
mont, suburb of Lync'lburg, are the
principal features of the improvement
which will greatly facilitate the hand
ling of freight and passenger traffic to
and from all parts of the South.
The old line will be retained for
local freight and passenger service
this being in accordance with the
wishes of the citizens of Lynchburg.
