They will run their passenger trains at the rate of sixty miles an hour including stoppages, making the journey from New York to Chicago in about fifteen hours. The road will be laid with steel rails of the v eight of one hundred pounds to the yard on oak and steel ties. All the bridges anj crossings will be constructed of iron and steel on stone piers and abutments, the road passing over all north and south lines. The estimated cost’ of the road is between $300,000,000 and $400,000,000. It is said that this great road will touch Nappanee, in which event Walkerton would stand a pretty good show of being made a point on the line.
