J UNION PACIFIC IS REBUILDING
Three Hundred Miles of Double Track
In Nebraska In Two Years
Reconstruction work on the Union
Pacific railway is being pushed all
along the line and the intentions of
the engineers to improve the road un
til it is second to none in the country
it seems will soon be realized At
Yutari a new steel bridge across the
Platte river connecting that place with
Valley is nearing completion -The
bridge is a modern affair and it rests
upon concrete piers similar to those
under the viaduct across the tracks at
Tventy fourth street in Omaha
The branch between Valley and
Lincoln is being greatly improved
the intention being to reduce the
curves and perfect the road bed thus
making it possible to increase the
speed of all trains The work will be
completed some time next year The
terminus at Lincoln is being bettered
All along the line in Nebraska new
ties are replacing old ones and large
section gangs are at work every day
in the year preparatory to replacing
the old steel with a much heavier ar
ticle
Construction for the second track
throughout Nebraska is being pushed
and it is predicted that within the next
two years 300 miles of double track
will cover that much of the state The
enormous business of the road which
is expected to increase very materially
during the next few years has forced
the company to place the second
track Long sidings also will be built
and when the improvements are com
pleted the engineers say the roadbed
and trackage of the company will not
be excelled in any part of the country
