A NEW NORTHWESTERN TRACK
INTO BLACK HILLS.
ARE PLACING 72-POUND RAILS
By Next Fall the Northwestern Rail
road Expects to Have Heavy Track
From Omaha to Deadwood and Belle
Fourche.
Moving slowly westward at the rate
f about three miles a week a gang
f sixty-five Northwestern workmen
s relaying the Northwestern main line
rack with ; now seventy-two pound
teel rails. The crew is now at
Georgia , the second station west of
Valentine.
A 5,000 ton shipment of the new
alls passed through Norfolk the other
ilay. As the new rails weigh about
13 tons to the mile , enough rails
passed through Norfolk to equip about
'orty-flve miles of track.
The equipment of the Omaha-Dead
wood line of the Northwestern witl :
icavy steel rails was made the pollcj
: ) f the Northwestern some years ago
It was decided to have the heavy rails
laid from Omaha to Deadwood am
Belle Fourcho. Each of the last fev
years has seen the heavy rails read
farther and farther west. The ral
crew has passed through Norfolk
through O'Neill in 1900 , through Long
Pine , and now through Valentine on
west.
The rail crew has missed only one
day's work this winter. The open
weather has favored the workers. B >
summer It is thought that Chadron
will be reached and by fall , Deadwood
The amount of rails laid in a day from
one week to another does not var >
more than 300 feet.
When the new steel lines reach from
Omaha to Bell Fourche It will In a
certain extent simplify the movemeir
of freight traffic on the west end of
the road. The company's big engines
cannot be sent into the light rai
country but the new rails will intro
duce the big engines and heavier ton
age to the west end of the line.
