Railway Improvements on the Burlington

The vast capital invested in railways is indicated by the one item that the Burlington has in the last three years expended $18,000,000 in building double track, reducing heavy grades, and eliminating sharp curves. Curves have been reduced from 3½ degrees to 1 degree, and grades from 70 feet to the mile to 30 feet. It is a splendid line of road.
