E T0 GOST $150,000,000 AIR LINE RAILWAY WILL BE CON- STRUCTED BETWEEN NEW YORK AND CHICAGO. PRELIMINARY WORK TO BEGIN AT ONCE BYNDICATE OF FOREIGN BANK-. ERS FURNISHING THE CASH FOR THE ENTERPRISE. Pittsburg, Aug. 15.—Papers of con- solidation of three rallroads in difter- ent parts of Pennsylvania will be filed &t Harrisburg this week which will constitute the formal announcement of a project of prominent foreign bank- ers assoclated with Joseph Ramsey, Jr., former president of the Wabash railroad, to build a low grade double track rallroad from New York to Chi- cago by way of Pittsburg, which will cost about $150,000,000. Complete sur- veys have already been made and it Is expectad that work preliminary to actual grading and construction next spring will hegin this fall. It is ex- pected that the road will require three years to construct. It is contemplated to operate with electric locomotives from the beginning. It will be known as the New York, Pittsburg and Chi- cago Alr line and will be sixty-five miles shorter to New York than the Pennsylvania and 108 miles shorter than the shortest line between New York and Chicago. The Keystone ‘Air line will traverse the bituminous coal fields of Central Pennsylvania, now controlled by the Pennsylvania railroad, and will also plerce the anthracite region through- out its length. It will not only be the shortest line through Pennsylvania, but it will cross the summit of the Allegheny mountains 400 feet lower than the Pennsylvania and will have very easy curves and remarkably low grades for a mountain line. Mr. Ramsey confirms the above in a telegram from New York to the Pitts- burg Dispatch. The telegram says the information is correct. The cost of the line between Pittshurg and New York, Mr. Ramsey says, is estimated to be between $75000,000 and $100, 000,000, all of which has been pledged, the bulk of it by foreign capitalists.
