SUMMARY OF RAILWAY MILEAGE IN THE UNITED STATES BY STATES AND TERRITORIES.

The railway mileage of the United States on June 30, 1889, was 157,758.83 miles.

The track mileage of the United States, which includes second, third, and fourth tracks, sidings, and spurs, is 191,001.40 miles.

The number of bridges is found to be 40,600, of which 17,042 are constructed of wood, 8,185 of stone, 11,838 of iron, and 3,535 being a combination of wood and iron.

There are 1,371 railroads in the United States that use the standard gauge, 4 feet 8 inches, representing 93.3 per cent of the total mileage. The 3-foot narrow gauge track in 1889 was used by 234 companies, representing 6 per cent of the total mileage of the country.

It thus appears that 99 per cent of the railway mileage in the United States is adjusted to what, for all practical purposes, may be regarded as two gauges of roadway.

The railway property of the United States was represented on June 30, 1889, by 1,705 organizations, which for one purpose or another are obliged to maintain a corporate existence.
