THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE *
Will the Northwestern Extend
From Casper ?
THIS IS THE IMPRESSION LEFT.
Omh P p er Sees it In Recent Moves
of the System Norfolk is Benefited.
Another Transcontinental Line Pos
sible.
Railway men look for extensive ex
pansion of the Northwestern system in
the west. Northwestern efficients from
Chicago have been in the western part
of the state looking over the line , and
the supposition is that it has to do with
future building in Nebraska.
Within the past weeks the road has
decided to spend $140,000 in new yards ,
trncks , switches and now equipment at
Norfolk. As Norfolk's railroad business
does not seem to warrant the expendi
ture of such an amount , railroad men
hero look upon it as the beginning of
expansion.
Formerly the .Northwestern was the
only road upon 'an equal footing with
the Union Pacific , on the latter's tracks ,
but the Milwaukee hns now the same
agreement. This fact may not bo alto
gether pleasing to the Northwestern
officials.
When the Elkhoru was taken over by
the Northwestern proper , the numbers
of the stations were changed. It is a
custom when numbering stations to
leave out n number whore a station is
likely to be built. When the now num
bering process began , the stations west
of the river were numbered from 0,000
up.
Casper , Wyo. , was numbered 6,287 ,
and when the next division was num
bered , it began with 0,400. This leaves
room for 113 new stations.
For n number of years the line has
been surveyed from Casper to Ogden ,
and those well informed in railroad
matters say that the North western owns
land in Danver , nnd also on Puget
sound for terminals.
The fixing up of all the stations along
the line , the laying of better rails and
the improvement of the railroad is
looked upou as a plan to ultimately
build to the North Pacific coast.
