Canadian Northern Ry. construction, etc.

...

Duluth Winnipeg and Pacific Ry.—The extension of the Duluth. Rainy Lake and Winnipeg Ry., from Virginia, Minn., southerly to Duluth, is to be constructed under the above title. The line has been located between the points named, 75 miles. it does not pass through any places of importance, but runs within a short distance of Eveleth. The work is generally heavy clay and gravel cuttings with about five miles of heavy rock work. including a tunnel of 500 ft. on the south 45 miles. The north 30 miles is lighter work, but passes through a number of swamps and muskegs, which will require draining. The bridging is generally light, excepting where the line enters Duluth, where a number of streets are crossed overhead. It is proposed to construct ore docks at West Duluth, which will require a fairly long trestle approach. D. B. Hanna, Third Vice President C.N.R., is President, and R. P. Ormsby, of Mackenzie, Mann & Co.'s Toronto legal office, is Secretary. H. T. Hazen, Duluth, is Chief Engineer. (Jan., pg. 43.)
