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.
