Reconstruction work on the Union
Pacific railway is being pushed all
along tho line and the intentions of
tho engineers to Improve tho road un
til it is second to none in the country
it seems will soon bo realized. At

Valley is nearlng completion. Tho
bridge is a modern affair and it rests
upon concrete piers similar to thoso
under tho viaduct across tho tracks at
Twenty-fourth street in Omaha.
Tho branch between Valley and
Lincoln la being greatly improved,
tho intention being to reduce the
curves and perfect tho road bed, thus
making it possible to increase the
speed of all trains. The work will bo
completed somo time next year. Tho
terminus nt Lincoln is being bettered.
All along the lino In Nebraska now
tlos aro replacing old ones, nnd largo
section gangs aie at work every day
In tho yeaf preparatory to replacing
tho old steel with a much heavier ar
ticle. Construction for the second track
throughout Nebraska is being pushed
and It is predicted that within tho next
Wo years 300 miles of double track
will cover that much of tho Btate. The
enormous business of tho road which
Is expected to incrcaso very materially

the company to place the second
track. Long sidings also will be built
and when the improvements are com
pleted tho engineers say the roadbed
and trackage of tho company will not
bo excelled in any part of tho country.
