The Wisconsin Central Railroad, now leased by the Soo Line, and forming the Chicago Division of that road, is being rapidly improved in order to offer to the traveling public service second to none between the Twin Cities and Chicago. The shortening of the line and the reduction of the grades by a number of changes in location are almost completed. One of the most marked improvements is in that portion of the line near the St. Croix River, 7 miles above Stillwater, Minn. This new cut-off crosses the river at an elevation of 180 ft. above mean water level, and presents some novel and interesting engineering features. The bridge structure is 2 600 ft. in length. The river bed at this point is 1 800 ft. wide, between high sandstone bluffs, but the full width is overflowed only at high water. The material forming the bottom seems to be fairly uniform throughout, consisting of fine sand and silt, easily eroded, and extending down from 100 to 120 ft. to bed-rock.
