FIRST WESTERN ELEVATED.
Southern Pacific to Build First West
of Chicago.

Oakland, Cal, June 14.-The only
stretch of elevated railroad west of
Chicago is being built in California
at the Oakland terminal on the
Southern Pacific company. 1t is to
accommodate the numerous suburb
an electric trains that pass at that
point with passengers between the
east bay cities and San Francisco.
The rails will be carried on a dou-
BILE track, ballasted deck structure,
extending for a distance of 3,S44
feet, or about twelve city blocks. The
roadway begins to climb at the foot
of Twentieth street on the present
right of way, entering the new Six
teenth street depot on the second
floor. Here suburban passengers are
handled without mingling with those
for the main line trains. Leaving
the depot, the elevation is main
tanned, the track paralleling the
steam train tracks and allowing the
freight trains to pass underneath at
Eleventh street to the railroad yards.
The surface is again reached at the
foot of Ninth street.
