Lincoln Journal
Outside of a few persons in Den
ver St Louis and New York who
are directly interested and certain
railroad afficials it is not generally
known that the Colorado and Eastern
railroad company has well perfected
plans for the construction of a rail
road between Denver and Omaha
which will be slightly shorter than
the Burlington between those two
points According to surveys the
new line will run 250 miles directly
east passing twelve miles north of
Lenora Kas where the Missouri Pa
cific line ends and then bend north
passing through Hastings Neb wher
the Chicago and Northwestern spur
ends and into Omaha a total dis
tance of about 500 miles It is esti
mated that the construction and equip
ment will cost about 20000 a mile
The road will be named the Denver
and Omaha Short Line Chicago Tri

The decrease in the drawbar of
a locomotive as the speed increases
is more rapid than is generally un
derstood It is estimated that a 2000
horse power compound locomotive of
the Mallet type will exert a tractive
force when it is hauling a train at
a speed of five miles per hour of
150000 pounds At ten miles the
tractive force will have fallen to
75000 pounds at 30 miles it will be
25000 pounds and at 50 miles per
hour it will be as low as 15000 lbs
Scientific American
In a paper recently read before the
Western Society of Civil Engineers
the bridge engineer of the C B
Q Railway advocated the substitution
of concrete for wood in railroad
trestles the construction consisting
of concrete piles capped with rein
forced concrete slabs When using
machine molded concrete piles struc
tures of this character have been built
up to a length of 250 feet at a cost
of from 20 to 25 per lineal foot

Within a few years it is expected
that connections will have been made
by the Burlington between its Guern
sey and Cheyenne lines and the cen
tral Wyoming lines now under con
struction When that much is finish
ed and probably before that time

Kearney This plan has never been

Death of Roy Dixon
The wrecked train left Los Angeles
Monday night and was the second
section of the Coast line train No
75 which is known as The Lark
The second section was behind time
when the accident occurred and En 1
gineer Dixon who was reputed to be
one of the fastest drivers on the
Southern Pacific was trying to make
up time Dixon and Ernest the fire
man had made the run many times
before and the presumption is that
they thought the curve did not have
to be made with extra caution if
they wanted to make up the lest
time
Rocky Point where the wreck oc
curred is about fifty feet above the
Salinas river the curved road being
scooped out of the foot hills immed
iately on the edge of the stream
The curve might have been passed
in perfect safety by the speeding
train had not a rail too weak to
stand the strain spread The rail
had no sooner spread than five of the
eight cars were plunging downward
The engine and the tender first
cleared the rails and landed ten feet
below toward the foothills The buf
fet car then turned sidewise and
rammed into the bank
Engineer Dixon who went to his
death is held by the railroad company
to be responsible for the wreck in
traversing the curve at such high
speed The train it is declared
should not have bttn traveling at
more than ten mils an hour instead
of at sixty miles
The Lo ly of Engineer Dixon could
be seen in the pilot cab of the en
gine which had turned over on its
side after snapping away from the
tender Dixon had died on the seat
with his hand still clutching the throt
tle The boJy was wedged down so
tightly however that it could not be
recovered until four hours later It
was the same with the body of Fire
man Ernest who went to his death
underneath the overturned tender
The bodies of Engineer Dixon and
Fireman Ernest were not taken to
San Jose but were kept at Metz
where an inquest is to be held by
the coroner today
Dixon who was thirty five years
old lived with his wife at 77 Liberty
street He was in the employ of the
Southern Pacific for about ten years
and spent most of this time running
on the Coast line Dixon came here
from Nebraska He had been em
ployed on the Deu ver and Rio Grande
and other railroads before working fo
the Southern Pacific He was affili
ated with the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers was a Knight Tem
plar was connected with the blue
lodge of Masons in Nebraska and was
also a member of Islais Temple
