Port Huron-Chicago double-tracking.—At the meetings of the subsidiary companies recently held in Detroit, it was stated that of the 335 miles of track between Port Huron and Chicago, the double-track was completed and in operation of 157 miles. Many of the heavy gradients have been cut down to enable locomotives to handle more loaded cars, while at Flint, Mich., a detour of 10 miles has been made to escape a particularly heavy grade, the new part being intended for freight and mixed trains, while the old part will be given over to passenger traffic.
