Double Track St Joe to Rulo
The Burlington Railroad company is
to expend in the neighborhood of 700
000 in the construction of a doublo truck
from St Joseph to llulo The gang of
surveyors that has been at work making
the preliminary survey for tho track
havo finished the work and the matter
has now been placed before the directors
where estimates aro being made The
parallel track will be laid along the Burl
ingtons main line on the east side of the
river passing through Amazonia Forbis
and Napier then across the river to
Rulo A double track will not be laid
across the river bridge The Burlington
people expect to encounter some difficult
obstacles in the construction of this
track as the greater part of it will nec
essarily hug the river bank very closely
while the rockbound bluffs crowd closely
to the present track on the east In
order to build a second track a preat
deal of heavy work must be done Moun
tains of rock must be removed and in
many place the blutls are eomposi d of
solid sloue
On the river side of the track the
water of the treacherous Missouri has
already ma do great inroads on the road
bed and a great deal of riprap will of
neep sity have to be made At one point
about two miles north of the St Joe
waterworks plant the current of the
river has within the past year changed
from the Kansas side and thrown its
whole force against tho east bank fin
tire farms have been swept away One
farmer who has been on the bottom-
fora number of years last week watched
tho last of his fertile farm tumble into
the river Just back of this lies the
Burlington tracks and unless an enor
mous amount of money is expended in
guarding against the encroaches of the
water it will damage their property
The object in building the double
track to Rulo is to take care of the
rapidly increasing traffic The one track
is inadequate to satisfactorily handle all
the trains that run ever it every day
The main line from St Joseph to
Amazonia must also take care of tho
traffic fiom the Creston branch Then
from Napier the junction of tho Omaha
Council BluiFs branch traffic from
that line must be hauled over the main
line thus making the main line from
Napier to St Joseph do duty for the
three sources Lincoln Journal

Ninety Nine Miles an Hour
All previous records for fast running
over distances greater than ten miles
went glimmering dow n among the things
that were when the Denver Chicago
special of the Burlington Route covered
148 miles at the rate of 98 6 miles an
hour
This burst of speed was mado with a
heavy train or nine cars from Eckley to
Wia Colo on March 24 the train bo
ing in charge of Conductor J II Burns
and Engineer OConnell The report of
the former on this occurrence follows
Train No G left Denver about ten
minutes late owing to a wait for the
through California car A heavy wind
prevailed at Akron which put us out of
Che latter place exactly thirty minutes
late Engineer OConnell was handed
tho usual documents to proceed and
nothing exceptional as regards speed
was mentioned as it has been customary
to j0 to Wray first stop in 48 to 40 min
utes 70 to 7J miles an hour average
when late
We passed Otis at an average of
about miles an hour Hyde and
Yuma the tram passed at about 05 miles
an hour and when the train passed
Eckley it wat 1 mining 14 to 75 miles
an hour
I wis in the observation car from
Eckley 10 Wray On my left weresev j
oral gentlemen who had been talking
about the inn Mr Arthur Johnson of
Denver Mi Wells Atley of Ljs Angeles
Mr liusli traffic manager of the Colo
rado Midland Mr Foley of Omaha two
men fiom Salt Lake City a lumber
dealer from Lvadville and an electrician
from Honolulu
We passed Eckley at 75G m all
hands holding watcnes corroborating
It seemed so short when the whistle was
blown that the comment was made by
Mr Johnson Oil wed lie is not doing
so much as we thought he might Mr
Johnson bellevid that we had but
leached Robb a instance of six and one
tenth miles from Eckley
T remained silent a few seconds dis
appointed The wind had gone uown
and on account of the heavy smoke fall
ing over the tiaiu 1 was not positive
ivheio 1 was but with a second thought
the train having dashed over a bridge
between whistling post and depot and
knowing the location extremely well I J
arose an u saiu vjenuemen you are at
ray We passed Robb some time ago
and you hae been able to ride fourteen
and eight-tenth- miles faster than it has
ever been covered
They looked at me with astonishment
and never spoke I went at once to the
platfoim at the rear end and observed at
time of departure my watch which was
showing five minutes strong after 800
pm The train was not at a dead stand
still but the nose of the engine had
passed far enough under the wiie to con
stitute the distance finished and to
create a lecord
I went to the head end where Mr
Lindsay of Pittsburg manager for An
drew Carnegie and party were occupy
ing special car Grassmere Mr Lindsay
was on the platform when I approached
and exclaimed Conductor that was a
terrific burst of speed how fast were we
going
I told him the speed was more than
ninety miles an hour for the distance of
fourteen and eight tenths miles I came
to the conclusion we weie hying and
told my party it was the fastest time we
had ever made he said
The train consisted of engine No 41
mail car baggage car two reclining chair
cars special car Grassmere three sleep
ers and dining car Prescott
From Eckley to Wray the track is
full of curves and the train of nine cars
was running on two of them at one time
owing to length of train and shortness
of curves except in two cases where
they are longer
