The ’’Last Spike” will never be driven ^ S o u th e r n Pacific s till building with the WesL> The 6 0 th a n n iv e r sa r y of the driving of the Golden Spike, May 10, S o u th e r n P a cific's Golden Jubilee, finds this western railroad still building. W e a p o n e d with crude tools, courage and vision, the early pioneer had hand-carved a way to the new West. W ith the vision of the pioneer, the West has carried on, and with it, step by step, S o u th e r n P a cific has builded. In the last five years Southern Pacific has built more new line than any o th e r railroad in the United States. In fifteen years Southern Pacific Aeron the dn rrt—dine! to Photnix has built 1481 miles of new line at a cost of 88 million dollars. Of this, 40 million dollars lias been spent in Northern California and Oregon. T h r o u g h th e b a rrier o f th e mighty Cascades it has created a new north and south railway. It has double-tracked its O verland R oute line over the Sierra. Anew main line has been built through Arizona. From W endel, Califor nia, to L a k ev iew , Oregon, has been broad-gauged. N ow Southern Pacific is com pleting a short line transcontinen tal railway through Southern Ore gon and Northern California. The Cascade line of the S hasta R oute Thru iba minhty Coteadti and the O verland R outb ill be connected. From less than 700 miles in 1869 to 16,520 miles today is but one way of recording Southern Pacific’s 60 years of work. Behind this cold fact of miles built is the epic story of th$ devel opment of the West. A story of progress indelibly written in the traditions of the West.
