Train and Track.

An automatic coupler for air and steam hose on railroad trains has made its appearance. The Pennsylvania system has 11,234.36 miles of line, of which 6,294 miles are east of Pittsburg and Erie and the remainder, 4,940, west of Pittsburg. These lines run through fourteen states. The 116 mile extension of the Mexico Northwestern railroad, now in progress, will connect the city of Chihuahua with El Paso, Tex., and opens up large tracts of valuable timber land in western Chihuahua.
