Show A NEW RECORD IN RAILROAD BUILDING. The Pacific Coast Extension of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Reaches Terry, Montana. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway has just extended the train service on its new Pacific Coast extension ex-tension as far west as Terry, Montana. Mon-tana. Here the new line crosses the Yellowstone Yel-lowstone River for the first time. At present trains are in operation as far west as Marmarth, North Dakota, 191 miles beyond the Missouri River. This extension carries the new train service about one hundred miles farther far-ther west. Train service between Aberdeen and Marmarth is daily, except Sunday, and between Marmarth and Terry, daily. The record of the Chicago, Milwaukee Milwau-kee & St. Paul Railway, in building its Pacific Cdast extension, has never been equaled in the matter of time by any similar undertaking. Track is now being laid at the rate of five miles per day, and the cast and west track laying forces in Montana will soon meet in the vicinity of Miles City. It is confidently expected that trains over the new transcontinental line will be operated from Chicago to Butte, Montana, by May, 1908, and to Seattle and Tacoma, Washington, about one year later. |
