Book Description
Excerpt from Report of Surveys Made for a Through Traffic Railway: From the Middle and Southern Anthracite Coal Fields, of Pennsylvania, to New York Bay Dear Sir: In accordance with your expressed wishes, and the desire of several gentlemen prominently connected with mining and other important interests in this County, I assumed the charge of surveys for a railroad leading directly from this coal region to the seaboard near New York. You have long been the able and consistent advocate of such a road, and as the present movement is mainly due to your exertions, it is proper for me to address this report to you. In the early part of March, I placed a corps of engineers on the route contemplated, who prosecuted the wort of preliminary examinations, with occasional interruptions from inclement weather and other causes, till the terminus on New York Bay was attained near the close of July. The object of these surveys being to determine the practicability of constructing a through traffic railroad, which will accommodate the greatest area of coal producing lands by the shortest distance consistent with favorable grades and alignment, no attempt has been made towards a final location, as neither the time nor means at my disposal, would have warranted this course; but the line surveyed, having been carefully selected, can he rapidly revised and prepared for construction, whenever it is desirable to place the work under contract.
