Will double track the N. P. from Yakima to the Sound
Northern Pacific vice president Levy testified at Yakima before Judge Rigg in the North Coast condemnation case that the company plans to double track the line through the Yakima valley to the Sound.

Levy argued Milwaukee road’s expansion would not take traffic from the N P as it serves new territory, and irrigation and valley projects would continue to boost overall business.
