Lig O RR Rae On 211.32 The following Panama Canal tracks were removed during the year: At Rio Grande—old main line—about one mile; at Gold Hill, north to the suspension bridge, about one mile; at dump 6, about one and one-half miles. The material recovered from these tracks was used for repairs to existing Panama Canal tracks or turned into the obsolete store at Mount Hope. | During the year $27,940.66 was spent for material and labor on the upkeep of Panama Canal tracks. This none a saving of $138,185.75 over the previous year. A crossing frog and 850 feet of track were laid at Monte Lirio lopeine and sawmill track; at Gamboa a track 390 feet long was built back of the freight house; a spur track 300 feet long was built at Red Tank for use of the commissary at that place; and a track 2,541 feet long was built for the new cold storage plant at Mt. Hope. The lay-out of tracks between the Panama Railroad freight house and the Washington Hotel in Colon was revised with a net loss in trackage of 750 feet. In the vicinity of dock 4, Colon, the lay-out of tracks was likewise revised with a net loss of 1 A00 feet of track.
