There are many in the East and South who have only faint ideas regarding the heavy construction being generally carried on by the great transcontinental railway lines in their efforts to reduce grades and straighten alignments; and these slight ideas are usually gathered from brief and incomplete notices appearing at irregular intervals in the daily and technical press. Among others, the Union Pacific Railroad has shown remarkable activity in this direction. Its line has been shortened by many miles, and its grades reduced to a maximum of 0.82 of 1%, compensated 0.03 for each degree of curvature, the maximum curvature allowed being 4 degrees. On all new construction everything is being carried out to a perfect working model.
