The history of the conception ana
building OF the great Pacific railroads
of this country and Canada Is story
in itself-a long story-a strong story
a story crowded with the romance or
unquenchable human faith and almost
superhuman achievement.
More Than All Europe.
Today there are 100000 miles OF
railroad in the United States-all Eu-
rope has approximately 100000 miles,
The Americas together have more
then half the railway mileage OF the
entire world. The mileage of Canada
has been increased during the past
five years, by nearly eleven thousand
miles and 1t now stands fourth on the
worlds list-the United States, Russia
and Germany. only, preceding 1t. In
comparing track mileages. all track
age is reckoned as single. but the
actual mileage Of all track in the
United States Is about $4,000 miles,
on which are employed nearly 5000
locomotives.
Tho officials and employees OF our
railroads number near 100000, and
the passengers served by them in one
year considerably over 1000, 100000
The little three to five ton locomo-
tives used within the memory OF l1v-
ing men, have been supplanted by
heavier, from time to time, until now
our requirements call for engines
weighing 80 to 425 tons each. One of
the latest developments in railroad
progress is electrifcatfon. Power
from mountain waterfalls Is being
used to generate electric current
which is delivered to suitably equip
ped locomotives, at suhstations. BY
the use of the electric current, free
dom from smoke and cinders is Sc
cured and greater eyenness of speed.
Economy of operation is another ad-
vantage In some instances, and the
future undoubtedly will see electri-
city the motive power in general use
on all American railroads.
