US 375 MILES OF DOUBLE TRACK BRIEF RECORD OF COUNTY EVENTS Special UNION PACIFIC MAKING BIO IMPROVEMENTS. Work Now Vnier Construction Calls for 1,400,000 Cubic Yards of Grad lng Entire Work Will Be Finished This Tear Carres Win Be Cot Oat ad Time From Ocean to Ocean Will Be Cot Down by 12 Honrs. Chicago, June 7. Double track con struction on the Union Pacific hat been undertaken this year on a scale exceeding anything attempted before in the west. To the 175 miles of double track in operation between Omaha and Green River, Wyo., will be added nearly 200 miles of second track now under construction. The vast undertaking known as the Lane Cut-Off between South Omaha and Lane, Neb., although only 11 miles In length. Is the most heroic feature of the Union Pacific Improve ment prograr.i now under way. This line necessitates 1.000.000 cubic yards of roadbed excavation, and calls for fills of from 300,000 to 1,400,000 cubic yards. . The cuts are of equally huge pro portions. The largest Is a mile long with an extreme depth of 87 feet. Two-thirds of the grading Is finished, and the whole undertaking will be completed this year. The cut-off saves nearly nine miles over the old main line by way of South Omaha and Oil more. From Lane to Valley double track ing was completed late last year. This fall will see the completion of another big stretch of double track nearly 50 miles in length, from Val-I ley to Benton. The next big stretches of double' tracking are between Sil ver Creek and Lockwood. a distance of 18 miles, Alda to Buda, Neb., 29 miles, and Rawlins to Wamsutter, Wyo., 41 miles. By the end of 1907 the Union Pacific will have a con tinuous double track In operation from Council Bluffs to Watson's Ranch near Kearney, a stretch of 194 miles. When all these Improvements are completed together with others under way west of Ogden, It Is believed that with their Omaha and Chicago con nections the Union and Southern Pa cific can still furthtr reduce the time from ocean to ocean by possibly 12 hours, or as much as this route has already reduced the running time from Pacific to Atlantic in the last eight years.
