The Orient Transcontinental Railway

A new transcontinental railway is projected, but it does not run parallel with the other great transcontinental lines. It has for its eastern terminal Kansas City, and for its western, Topolobambo, Mexico. It is the shortest line between the Missouri River and the Pacific Ocean—518 miles shorter than the Union Pacific, and 700 miles shorter than the Burlington or Rock Island road. The new railroad is called the Orient. The cost of the road it is said will be much less per mile than any of the other great roads.
