In brief, a through connection with the two great Hill transcontinental lines, the North ern raclflo and (lie Great Northern. It stands today, and will probably for j many years stand, as the model of perfection In the, line of construction nnd fine equipment. .Many miles of the road are blasted through solid rock. Numberless tunnels pierce the' ; earth, in places where the builders 'might have avoided huge expense by! building around these obstacles. The j finest 'bridges Mint have ever been j .......mi ,,,., divining water ways have beep erected without regard to time or conditions or cost.
