year the mechanical department OF
the road was given a great deal of
relief by the erection of new shops

Although the Improvement work or
the Short Line during 1915 will be
confined chiefly to the completion OF
work begun in former years and
maintenance work some new construc-

the new work is a line change on the
Yellowstone park branch. The change
is to be made with a view of provid-
ing greater safety in train operation
and will include the driving a tun-
mel $50 feet long through the noun
tain at Gibralter point. At the pres

Ihe larger projects that were be-

That means that Ford is assembled
