PATEltfT    GONE    DISK    STO1TE. 


Remodelled  and  srrrntlv  improved  1870.  including  Cliil 


Anti-Clinker  Grate  and  Locks  on  the  Doors. 

I  CLAIM  for  thiR  Stove  Safe!*,  Economy. 
Durability,  Simplicity,  Cleanliness  and 
Beauty  of  Design. 

In  the  use  of  several  thousandg  of  this 
superior  Stove  they  have  proved  U>  be  the 
only  Stove  ever  made  (hut  thoroughly  toarmt 
the  car  floor.  The  new  combination  of  fire 
pot,  cone  radiator,  mid  broad  radiating  disks 
pi  events  the  heat  Irnm  first  rising  to  the 
upper  part  of  the  oar.  but  radiates,  deflects 
and  throws  the  heat  downward,  making  the 
car  comfortably  warm,  espe.cially  for  the 
feet,  instead  of  the  floor  cold  and  the  heat 
overhead,  as  with  other  stoves  used  for  car 
Warming. 

I  claim  for  it  the  following  : 

1st.  It  is  perfectly  safe,  being  well  secur- 
ed against  accidental  fires  by  being  bolted  down 
to  the  floor  and  ha  ring  locks  on  the  doors,  so  that 
in  cane  a  car  should  tie  overturned,  fire  could  not 
get  out  of  the  stove.  The  gvurd-iail  which  sup- 
ports the  feet  when  wanning  them  also 
serves  as  a  fender,  preventing  the  clothing 
from  coming  in  contact  with  the  stove. 

2d.  Theie  is  no  hearth  for  dirt,  filth  and 
tobacco  spittle  to  accumulate  on,  which  en- 
sures cleanliness  around  the  stove. 

3d.  This  stove  keeps  the  fire  through  the 
geason,  and  although  adapted  for  coal,  yet 
wood  can  be  burned  in  it  equally  well. 

It  will  be  highly  appreciated  by  all  in 
want  of  a  superior  heater  for  Factories,  Stores, 
Offices,  RAiLRoADCAHsand  STATION  HOUSES, 
School  Rooms,  Workshops,  etc. ,  and  hn8  especi- 
ally proved  itself  to  be  the  m"Bt  successful 
plan  yet  devised  for  warming  RAILROAD 
CAKS. 

Bolts  are  not  used  except  for  Railway  Cars 
and  Steamboats 

The  following  are  among  the  many  testi- 
monials from  Hailroad  Managers  in  favor  of 
this  stove  :

GARDNER  CHILSON, 

l}ear  Sir  : — We  have  now  a  large  number 
i  f  your  Cone  Disk  stoves  in  use.  foi  warm- 
ing Passenger  Cars  and  Stations,  some  of 
them  lor  quite  a  number  of  years.  We  hav;1 
ad  the  very  best  success  with  these  stoves, 
giving  perfect  satisfaction  in  every  way. 
They  are  substantially  ma<le  and  require  less 
repairs  than  any  other  stove  in  use  that  I  am 
acquainted  with.  1  can  cheerfully  recom- 
mend it  as  the  bast  stove  now  in  use  for 
Railroad  service  Yours  truly.

BOSTON  AND  PHOVIDKNCK  RAILROAD  CORPORATION,  1 
OARDNKR  CIIII.BON,  Esq.  Superintendent's  Office,  Boston.  April.  1876.          f 

Dear  Sir  :  We  have  about  three  hundred  of  your  Patent  "  Cone  "  Di»k  Stoves  in  use  (a  part  of  them  lor  nearly  six  years)  for 
warming  I'm^en^er  <'arn  and  Stations.  1  can  truly  say  that  they  have  given  entire  satisfaction.  These  Stoves  possess  many  im- 
portant advantages  over  any  other  wt>  have  ever  used,  viz.,  for  warming]; the  floor  and  displacing  the  air  in  the  lower  part  of  the 
car,  whereby  they  are  rendered  nittrh  more  comfortable,  especially  for  the  feet,  than  by  any  other  plan  known  to  us.  Tl'e  Stove 
i*  mote  economical  in  consumption  of  fuel,  more  substantial  ill  construction,  mid  consequently  requiring  less  it-pairs  than  any 
other  in  use,  and  «»  securely  constructed  as  to  prevent  fire  from  getting  out  ot  the  Stove  even  should  the  car  be  overturned. 
I  cheerfully  give  my  testimony  in  favor  ol  this  Stove,  and  commend  it  to  all  Railroad  Managers. 

Yours,  etc., 

A.  A.  FOLSOM.  Superintendent.

HISTORICAL  SKETCH  OF  THE  INTERNAL  IMPROVEMENTS 
IN  THE  UNITED  STATES. 


The  year  1876  naturally  suggests  a  retrospect  of  the  first  hundred  years  of  our  national 
life.  It  comes  peculiarly  within  our  province  to  trace,  during  such  period,  the  progress  made 
by  our  people  in  their  means  of  intercommunication,  with  which  all  their  interests,  social, 
political,  and  material,  are  so  intimately  connected. 

The  colonists,  at  the  time  they  declared  themselves  to  be  an  independent  nation,  occupied 
a  narrow  belt  of  country  stretching  nearly  two  thousand  miles  along  the  coast,  from  New 
Brunswick,  a  province  of  Great  Britain,  to  Florida,  then  subject  to  the  crown  of  Spain. 
A  small  portion  of  this  population  only  was  distant  more  than  a  day's  journey  from  navigable 
tide  waters.  Up  to  that  time,  however,  when  the  condition  of  the  country  is  considered — its 
vast  and  almost  impenetrable  forests,  the  covert  of  savage  tribes  which,  under  the  influence 
and  guidance  of  France,  holding  possession,  at  that  time,  of  the  valleys  of  the  St.  Lawrence 
and  the  Mississippi,  waged  incessant  warfare  upon  the  whole  frontier  line  of  settlements — the 
progress  made  by  our  people,  for  the  first  hundred  and  fifty  years  from  the  settlement  of  the 
country,  is  well  worthy  of  admiration.  As  the  products  of  their  industries  had  little  or  no 
commercial  value  at  distances  exceeding  a  hundred,  and  often  fifty,  miles  from  navigable 
water  Hues,  and  as  there  was  still  an  ample  supply  of  easily  accessible  and  fertile  lands,  the 
subject  of  improved  or  artificial  highways  attracted  little  attention,  as  their  necessity  or  im- 
portance was  but  little  felt.  It  was  not  till  the  treaty  of  1763,  which  gave  to  Great  Britain 
the  valley  of  the  St.  Lawrence  and  that  portion  of  the  valley  of  the  Mississippi  east  of  that 
river,  that  the  vision  of  our  people  began  to  extend  itself  over  the  continent :  raat  they 
began  to  speculate  upon  its  future  destiny,  upon  the  races  that  were  to  occupy  it,  and  the 
means  by  which  its  matchless  wealth  could  best  be  secured  and  rendered  available  by  the 
new  nation  springing  to  life  upon  its  eastern  slope.  It  was  seen  that  the  two  mighty  rivers, 
which  carried  navigable  water  courses  to  nearly  every  portion  of  the  great  interior  basin,  had 
their  outlets,  one  under  the  burning  sun  of  the  tropics,  the  other  in  an  inhospitable  region 
whose  climate  was  that  of  polar  cold — and  each  far  distant  from  the  great  centres  of  population 
upon  the  Atlantic  coast,  and  from  ports  most  accessible  to  the  Old  World  which  was,  and  still 
is,  the  great  market  for  many  of  our  most  important  productions — and  that  the  only  mode  by 
which  this  apparent  oversight  of  nature  could  be  corrected  was  by  artificial  works  which, 
penetrating  the  range  of  the  Alleghany  mountains,  should  constitute  the  great  ports  of  the 
Atlantic  the  real  outlets  of  the  commerce  and  trade  of  the  continent.

Revolution  had  penetrated  further  inland  than  in  any  other,  it  was  natural  that  the  routes  of 
the  Potomac  or  James  River  should  first  attract  attention;  and  it  is  a  striking  coincidence 
that  the  man  who  is  preeminently  the  Father  of  his  Country  considered  as  a  nation,  should 
also  be  the  father  of  the  system  of  artificial  highways  which  in  one  form  or  another  has 
spread  itself  as  a  vast  network  over  the  whole  continent,  and  has  become  a  distinguishing 
feature  of  our  civilization.  From  his  early  employment  as  surveyor  of  lands,  Washington 
became  more  familiar  than  any  other  of  his  time  with  the  region  lying  at  the  head  waters  of 
the  Potomac.  In  1754,  he  commanded  a  military  expedition  to  the  Mouougahela  River,  and, 
from  his  familiarity  with  the  route  that  Braddock  was  to  take  in  his  proposed  attack  on 
Fort  Duquesne,  he  was  invited  to  join  the  expedition  and  become  a  member  of  the  military 
family  of  the  general  in  chief.  Had  his  advice  been  followed,  the  expedition  would  in  all 
probability  have  been  an  entire  success.  In  all  his  explorations  the  subject  of  a  navigable 
waier  line  from  the  Chesapeake  to  the  Ohio  constantly  occupied  his  thoughts.  When  a 
member  of  the  House  of  Delegates  of  Virginia,  he  urged  the  consideration  of  his  favorite 
subject  upon  that  body  before  trie  commencement  of  the  revolutionary  war.  Near  its  close, 
but  while  in  command  of  the  army  at  Xevvburg,  he  made  a  tour  northward,  and  following 
up  the  valley  of  the  Mohawk,  reached  the  summit  between  the  head  waters  of  the  Hudson, 
and  those  flowing  into  Lake  Ontario,  and  made  a  personal  examination  of  the  route  which, 
from  its  superior  natural  advantages,  was  destined  to  realize  for  the  whole  country  that  which, 
by  a  canal  along  the  line  of  the  Potomac  or  James  River  to  the  Ohio,  he  hoped  to  secure  for 
his  own  State.  At  this  point  the  Alleghany  range  falls  off  into  a  vast  plain  depressed  a  hun- 
dred and  forty-five  feet  below  the  surface  of  Lake  Erie,  and  a  hundred  and  nine  feet  below 
the  summit,  which,  near  Chicago,  separates  the  waters  flowing  into  Lake  Michigan  from  those 
flowing  iuto  the  Mississippi.  This  physical  feature,  in  one  sense  so  unimportant,  has  exerted 
a  paramount  influence  on  the  destinies,  moral,  political  and  material,  of  the  continent.  It  gave 
to  the  North  the  monoply  of  its  commerce,  and  with,  it,  supremacy  in  wealth  ;  and  in  the 
West  it  made  the  line  of  the  Great  Lakes  the  future  seat  of  empire. 

At  the  close  of  the  war  Washington  again  resumed  the  subject  that  engrossed  so  much 
of  his  attention,  and  was  instrumental  in  procuring  a  charter  for  his  proposed  work  from  the 
States  of  Virginia  and  Maryland.  He  became  president  of  the  company  that  was  formed, 
and  secured  to  it  valuable  grants  both  in  lauds  and  money.  He  again  crossed  the  mountains 
for  the  purpose  of  making  a  more  careful  examination  of  the  country  and  the  practicability 
of  his  enterprise.  On  his  return  he  presented  to  the  Governor  of  Virginia  the  results  of  his 
observations,  in  one  of  the  most  able  and  sagacious  papers  that  ever  came  from  his  peu. 

"I  need  not  remark  to  you,"  said  Wasmugton  in  the  communication  referred  to,  "that 
the  flank  and  rear  of  the  United  States  are  possessed  by  other  powers,  and  formidable  ones, 
too ;  and  how  necessary  it  is  to  apply  the  cement  of  interest  to  bind  all  parts  of  the  Union 
together  by  indissoluble  bonds — especially  that  part  of  it  which  lies  iuimediu'.ely  west  of  us 
with  the  Middle  States.  For  what  ties,  let  me  ask,  should  we  have  upon  these  people  (in  the 
Mississippi  Valley)  ?  How  entirely  unconnected  with  them  shall  we  be,  and  what  troubles 
may  we  not  apprehend,  if  the  Spaniards  on  their  right  and  Great  Britain  on  their  left,  instead 
of  throwing  stumbling  blocks  in  their  way,  as  they  now  do,  should  hold  out  lures  for  their 
trade  and  alliance?  What,  when  they  gain  strength  (which  will  be  soouer  than,  most  people 
conceive,  from  the  emigration  of  foreigners,  who  will  uave  no  predilection  for  us,  as  well  as 
the  removal  of  our  own  citizens),  will  be  the  consequence  of  having  formed  close  connections 
with  both  or  either  of  those  powers  in  a  commercial  way  ?  It  needs  not,  in  my  opinion,  the 
gift  of  prophecy  to  foretell. 

"  The  Western  States  (I  speak  now  trom  my  own  observation)  hang  upon  a  pivot.  The 
touch  of  a  feather  would  turn  them  any  way.  They  have  looked  down  the  Mississippi  till 


RAILROAD   MANUAL   OF   THE   UNITED   STATES.  ill 

the  Spaniards,  very  impoliticly,  I  think,  for  themselves,  threw  difficulties  in  the  wr.y;  nnd 
they  looked  that  way  for  no  other  reason  than  because  they  could  glide  quietly  down  the 
stream,  without  considering,  perr-ap?,  the  difficulties  of  the  voyage  back  again  and  the  time 
necessary  to  perform  it,  and  because  they  had  no  other  means  of  coming  to  us  but  by  land 
transportation  and  unimproved  roads.  These  causes  have  hitherto  checked  the  industry  of 
the 'present  settlers;  for,  except  the  demand  for  provisions,  occasioned  by  the  increase  of 
population,  and  the  little  flour  which  the  necessities  of  the  Spaniards  compel  them  to  buy, 
they  have  no  incitement  to  labor.  But  smooth  the  road  and  make  easy  the  way  for  them, 
and  then  see  what  an  influx  of  articles  will  be  poured  upon  us,  how  amazingly  our  exports 
will  increase,  and  how  amply  we  shall  be  compensated  for  any  trouble  and  expense  we  may 
encounter  to  effect  it." 

How  prophetic  would  have  been  the  words  of  "Washington  had  we  been  without  rail- 
roads at  the  outbreak  of  the  late  rebellion!  These  works  exerted  a  paramount  influence  ;.n 
the  contest — not  so  much  from  the  commercial  results  flowing  from  them,  as  from  the  means 
they  gave  to  the  North  of  overwhelming  the  insurgent  districts  with  a  vast  military  force. 
But  for  these  works,  such  is  the  extent  of  our  country,  a  single  distant  State  might  safely  bid 
defiance  to  the  central  power.  With  them  no  one  enjoys  the  immunity  which  would  result 
irom  isolation.  With  the  removal  of  slavery — the  great  impediment  to  a  true  nationality — the 
commercial  influence  which  they  must  exert  will  render  any  similar  outbreak  almost  beyond 
the  bounds  of  possibility. 

As  Washington,  soon  after  ho  made  the  report  referred  to,  was  elected  President  of  the 
United  States,  the  enterprises  which  he  had  urged  with  so  much  intelligence  and  persistency 
were  abandoned,  to  be  resumed  at  a  distant  day,  but  under  conditions  which  rendered  their 
accomplishment,  and  the  results  predicted  of  them,  wholly  unattainable. 

It  is  to  be  remembered  that  although  at  the  period  of  which  we  are  speaking  canals  were 
regarded  as  affording  the  best  and  cheapest  means  of  inland  communication,  yet,  for  the  first 
fifty  years  after  the  Declaration  of  Independence,  no  great  work  of  the  kind  was  attempted, 
either  for  the  want  of  adequate  means,  or  of  some  crowning  necessity,  or  of  some  scheme  cal- 
culated to  enlist  a  sufficiently  powerful  influence  in  its  favor.  The  only  routes  in  use  were 
with  very  few  exceptions,  the  old  ordinary  highways  Upon  the  primitive  soils  of  New  Eng- 
land these  served  pre'.ty  well  as  means  of  transportation :  but  in  all  other  parts  of  the  country 
they  were  wholly  inadequate  for  such  purpose.  The  cost,  according  to  the  report  of  a  com- 
mittee appointed  by  the  Legislature  of  the  State  of  New  York  to  consider  the  subject  of  the 
Erie  Canal,  of  transporting  a  ton  of  wheat  from  Buffalo  to  New  York,  was  a  hundred  dollars, 
and  the  time  required  twenty  days.  Such  cost,  which  is  now  more  than  double  the  value  of 
a  ton  of  wheat  in  the  city  of  New  York,  shows  how  unproductive  must  have  been  the  labor 
of  the  greater  portion  of  our  population.  Although  the  Western  States  at  this  time  had 
received  a  large  number  of  immigrants,  their  industry  sufficed  for  hardly  any  other  purpose 
than  to  supply  their  own  necessities  in  food  and  clothing. 

The  inability  of  the  nation,  during  the  war  of  1812,  to  move  troops,  with  munitions 
and  supplies,  to  distant  menaced  points,  was  one  of  the  chief  causes  of  the  numerous  disasters 
that  were  sustained.  This  fact  was  so  impressed  upon  the  minds  of  the  people  of  the  State  of 
New  York,  within  whose  territory  the  war  was  chiefly  cmiedon,  that  they  determined,  upon 
its  close,  to  construct,  with  the  least  possible  delay,  a  canal  extending  from  the  Hudson  river 
at  Albany  to  Lake  Erie  at  Buffalo.  At  that  time  the  small  amount  of  produce  that  found  its 
way  to  market,  not  only  from  the  interior,  but  from  the  Atlantic  slope,  was  largely  floated 
down  the  natural  water  courses.  That  grown  in  Western  New  York  was  sent  down 
the  Delaware  and  Susquehanna  rivers  in  arks  or  flatboats  to  Philadelphia  and  Balti- 
more. The  natural  advantages  of  the  proposed  canal  route  had  long  been  well  kno-.vn. 


IV  KAILROAD  MANUAL   OF  THE  UNITED  STATES. 

So  early  as  1724,  more  than  a  hundred  years  before  its  opening,  Cadwallader  Golden,  then 
Surveyor-General  of  the  colony,  suggested  the  feasibility  of  such  a  work  over  the  line  now  oc- 
cupied, and  urged  its  construction.  Although  his  suggestions  were  frequently  repeated, 
nothing  was  actually  undertaken  until  1792,  when  two  companies  were  incorporated  and 
organized,  under  the  titles  of  the  "  Western,  and  Northern,  Inland  Navigation  Companies," 
the  former  being  charged  with  the  work  of  constructing  what  was  termed  a  "  lock  naviga- 
tion" from  the  Hudson  to  Lake  Ontario,  and  the  latter  a  similar  work  from  Albany  to  Lake 
Champlain.  The  former  constructed  a  canal  around  Little  Falls,  on  the  Mohawk,  and  one 
from  the  Mohawk  to  Fish  Creek,  a  tributary  of  Oneida  Lake,  the  waters  of  which  flowed  into 
Lake  Oniario;  and  in  1802  a  route  capable  of  passing  boats  of  15  tons  burden  was  opened 
from  the  former  lake  to  the  lower  Mohawk.  The  greater  part  of  it,  however,  was  made  up 
of  the  river  navigation.  The  canal  being  constructed  on  a  very  small  scale  proved  wholly 
inadequate  to  its  objects,  was  unremunerative,  and  was  speedily  abandoned. 

On  the  15th  of  April,  1817,  an  Act  was  passed  by  the  Legislature  of  the  State  of  New 
York  making  provision  for  the  construction  of  the  Erie  Canal.  On  the  26th  of  October,  1825, 
the  first  boat  reached  tide  water  from  Lake  Erie.  On  the  4th  of  November  of  that  year,  the 
completion  of  the  work  was  celebrated  with  every  demonstration  that  could  give  emphasis  to 
the  occasion.  No  event  could  have  had  a  greater  importance  to  the  nation.  It  at  once  gave 
a  commercial  value  to  the  products  of  the  interior  of  the  continent,  by  opening  to  them  an 
outlet  at  the  harbor  of  New  York.  From  Buffalo  the  Great  Lakes  carried  a  navigable  water 
line  one  thousand  miles  farther  inland.  The  immediate  result  was  the  same  as  if  the  St. 
Lawrence  and  the  Lakes  had  had  their  outlet,  to  tidewater,  through  the  Hudson. 

This  canal,  as  originally  constructed,  was  40  feet  wide  and  4  feet  deep,  with  locks  90  by 
15  feet.  It  was  capable  of  passing  boats  of  about  60  tons  burden.  It  has  since  been  enlarged 
to  a  width  of  70  feet  and  to  a  depth  of  7,  with  locks  110  by  18  feet,  and  is  now  capable  of 
passing  boats  of  240  tons  burden.  Notwithstanding  its  limited  capacity  when  first  opened, 
it  reduced  the  cost  of  moving  a  ton  of  freight  from  Lake  Erie  to  New  York  City  from  $100 
to  $20  the  ton,  and  the  time  from  20  to  8  days.  Its  enlargement,  and  the  improvements  that 
have  been  effected  in  transportation,  have  reduced  the  cost  of  moving  a  ton  of  freight  over 
it  from  Buffalo  to  New  York  City  to  $1.50  the  ton.  When  the  vastness  of  the  tonnage  now 
moved  over  it — equalling  5,000,000  annually — is  considered,  the  value  and  importance  of  this 
great  work  to  the  commerce  of  the  country,  foreign  aud  domestic,  will  be  readily  appreciated. 

Although  the  Erie  Canal  was  formally  opened  in  1825,  no  considerable  amount  of  ton- 
nage was  transported  over  it  till  1826,  so  that  the  great  re\olution  in  the  commerce  of  the 
country  properly  dates  from  the  year  which  marks  the  beginning  of  the  second  half  century 
of  our  national  life.  Up  to  that  year  the  best  methods  of  transportation  on  land  were  those 
in  use  at  the  very  dawn  of  civilization.  Fifty  years  ago  the  emigrant  going  West  moved  with 
his  family  aud  his  herds  precisely  as  did  his  ancestors  in  the  Old  World  2,000  years  before. 

The  opening  of  the  canal  almost  instantly  gave  an  impulse,  wholly  unprecedented,  to  the 
construction  of  similar  works.  The  States  of  Pennsylvania,  Maryland,  Virginia,  Ohio,  Indiana 
and  Illinois  at  once  embarked  upon  elaborate  systems  designed  to  give  to  almost  every  por- 
tion of  their  respective  territories  the  advantages  of  canal  navigation.  The  State  of  Ohio 
constructed  two  lines  across  its  territory  from  Lake  Erie  to  the  Ohio  River,  one  extending 
from  Cleveland  to  Portsmouth,  and  the  other  from  Toledo  to  Cincinnati.  Indiana  constructed 
an  immense  line  extending  from  Toledo  to  Evansville,  on  the  Ohio  River.  Illinois  constructed 
one  from  Lake  Michigan,  at  Chicago,  to  the  navigable  water  of  the  Illinois  River.  Pennsyl- 
vania undertook  the  construction  of  a  canal  from  the  Delaware  to  the  Ohio  River  at  Pittsburg, 
but  was  compelled,  for  want  of  water  at  the  summit,  to  supplement  the  mountain  portion  by 
a  railroad  of  about  40  miles  in  length.  Maryland  was  able  to  push  its  great  work,  the  Chesa-

peake  and  Ohio  Canal,  no  farther  than  the  base  of  the  mountains  at  Cumberland.  The  favorite 
work  of  Virginia,  the  James  River  aud  Kanawlia  Canal,  was  carried  ouly  to  the  base  of  the 
same  range.  In  the  meantime,  a  large  extent  of  line  was  constructed  oy  private  corporations, 
so  that  within  fifteen  years  from  the  opening  of  the  Erie,  8,500  miles  of  canal  were  constructed 
in  various  parts  of  the  Union,  chiefly  in  the  States  of  New  Yo'k,  New  Jersey,  Pennsylvania, 
Maryland  and  Virginia.  Of  those  constructed  by  the  States,  only  the  Erie,  and  perhaps  the 
Champlain,  have  proved  remunerative  upon  their  cost.  A  large  extent  of  mileage  has  been 
abandoned  in  the  States  of  Pennsylvania,  Ohio  and  Indiana,  their  traffic  having  been  drawn 
off  by  parallel  lines  of  railroads.  A  large  extent  will  be  abandoned  when  the  canals  come  to 
heavy  repairs.  All  are  likely  in  time  to  be  superseded,  with  the  exception  of  the  Erie,  Cham- 
plain,  Delaware  and  Raritan,  Delaware  and  Chesapeake,  and  perhaps  ihe  Delaware  aud  Hud- 
son and  Illinois  and  Michigan.  Through  the  latter,  the  waters  of  the  Lakes  now  flow,  by  an 
open  cut,  into  the  Gulf  of  Mexico.  A  great  drawback  to  the  usefulness  of  canals  is  that  they 
cannot  be  operated  more  than  seven  months  each  year.  Only  a  small  number  are  adequately 
supplied  with  water,  aud  upon  none,  with  the  exception  of  those  named,  can  freight  be  tr<ms- 
ported  so  cheaply  as  over  competing  lines  of  railroad.  The  period  for  building  canals,  there- 
fore, has  long  since  passed,  while  those  now  in  operation,  and  which  were  once  regarded  as  of 
the  highest  value  and  importance,  have  sunk  into  comparative  insignificance  aud  neglect. 

The  year  1826,  of  which  the  present  is  the  semi-centennial,  is  not  only  distinguished 
by  the  opening,  for  commercial  purposes,  of  the  Erie  Canal,  and  by  the  grant  of  ihe  first  char- 
ter for  the  construction  of  railroads  in  the  United  States,  but  by  the  famous  experiment  on  the 
Stockton  and  Darlington  Railway,  which  demonstrated  the  practicability  of  propelling  railroad 
trains  by  the  application  of  steam  power.  That  event  was  an  era  in  the  history  of  mankind  as 
far  as  relates  to  its  physical,  and  we  may  say,  to  its  moral  and  political  welfare — fur  moral  and 
political  are  the  necessary  results  of  material  well-being.  Railroads,  more  than  any  other 
invention  or  contrivance,  tend  to  unite  the  race  into  one  society;  to  overcome,  as  far  as  pos- 
sible, distinctions  of  birth  or  origin ;  to  reconcile  differing  and  discordant  institutions  and 
ideas,  and  to  subdue  those  local  jealousies  and  ambitious  which  now  separate  the  world  into 
so  many  hostile  camps.  They  place  every  section  and  every  family  of  the  nations  above  the 
fear  of  want  by  averaging  for  each  the  climatic  conditions  of  all.  They  are  the  guarantee  for 
the  maintenance,  not  ouly  of  local,  but  of  universal  ord-r,  by  the  vastness  of  the  interests 
which  they  have  created. 

The  railroad  first  undertaken  in  the  United  States  was  a  short  line  of  about  three  miles, 
for  the  transportation  of  granite  to  the  Neponsct  river,  near  Boston.  This  road  was  simply 
a  copy  of  the  tram-roads  already  in  use  in  England.  It  is  important  only  as  the  pioneer  in 
the  great  movement  that  was  then  taking  place.  A  similar  work  was  constructed  at  about 
the  same  time  for  the  transportation  of  coal  from  the  pit's  mouth  to  the  Lehigh  Valley  Canal, 
near  Mauch  Chunk.  It  was  not  until  1828,  however,  that  the  construction  of  a  railroad  was 
undertaken  for  the  transportation  both  of  freight  aud  passengers  on  anything  like  a  compre- 
hensive scale.  The  construction  of  the  Erie  Canal  had  cut  off  the  trade  which  Philadelphia, 
and  Baltimore  had  hitherto  received  from  the  West;  and  as  the  project  of  a  canal  from 
the  city  of  Baltimore  to  the  Ohio  was  regarded  by  mmy  as  impracticable,  the  merchants 
of  that  city,  in  1827,  procured  the  charter  of  the  present  Baltimore  and  Oaio  Railroad.  On 
the  4th  of  July,  1828,  its  construction  was  begun,  the  first  act  being  performed  by  the  vener- 
able Charles  Carroll,  of  CarroLton,  the  ouly  surviving  signer  of  the  Declaration  of  Inde- 
pendence. At  the  clo*e  of  the  ceremony  of  breaking  ground,  Mr.  Carroll  said:  "I  consider 
this  among  the  most  important  acts  of  my  life,  second  only  to  that  of  signing  the  Declaration 
of  Independence,  if  even  second  to  that."  In  the  fall  of  1829,  the  laying  of  the  rails  within 
the  City  of  Baltimore  was  begun.  On  the  22d  of  May,  ISI'O,  the  first  section  of  fitteeu  miles,  to

Ellicott's  Mills,  wag  opened.  Like  all  others  constructed  at  the  time,  it  was  an  unsubstantial 
structure,  with  longitudinal  sills,  on  which  was  placed  a  thin  bar,  or  strap,  of  iron.  Although 
locomotive  engines  had  obtained  some  isein  England,  and  two  or  three  had  been  imported  into 
the  United  States,  this  road  continued  for  neatly  a  year  after  its  opening  to  be  operated  by  horse 
power.  An  ingenious,  but  unsuccessful,  att<  mpt  was  made  to  propel  the  trains  by  the  use  of 
sails.  As  some  more  efficient  power  than  that  of  horses  seemed  indispensable,  the  company, 
on  the  4lh  of  January,  1831,  invited  proposals  for  the  construction  of  a  steam  engine  for  its 
use,  "  which,  when  in  operation,  must  not  exceed  three  and  a  half  tons  in  weight,  and  must, 
on  a  level  road,  be  capable  of  drawing,  day  by  day,  fifteen  tons,  inclusive  of  the  weight  of  the 
wagons,  fifteen  miles  per  hour."  In  response,  three  engines  were  offered  to  the  company. 
One  only,  constructed  by  Phineas  Davis,  of  York,  Pennsylvania,  was  accepted  as  coming  up  to 
the  required  specifications.  Although  this  engine  was  incapable  of  surmounting  any  consid- 
erable grades,  it  served  to  assure  the  officers  of  the  company  of  the  practicality  of  working 
their  railroad  by  steam  power.  In  the  annual  report  of  the  company  for  1831,  its  president, 
Philip  E.  Thomas,  stated  that,  "  by  many  improvements  made  in  the  application  of  working 
power,  an  immense  reduction  in  the  cost  of  transportation  and  an  increase  of  velocity  had 
been  effected."  "Among  the  most  valuable  of  these  improvements,"  says  the  report,  "  was 
the  combined  cylindrical  and  conical  car  wheels,  invented  by  the  chief  engineer  of  the  com- 
pany, Mr.  Jonathan  Knight,  which  have  been  found  of  the  utmost  importance  by  the  facility 
they  afford  of  turning  curves.  By  the  aid  of  this  highly  valuable  improvement,  every 
doubt  is  removed  of  our  ability  to  employ  locomotive  engines  upon  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio 
Railroad.  This  discovery  is  the  more  important  to  us,  inasmuch  as  from  the  surface  of  the 
country  over  which  our  route  must  be  constructed  numerous  curves  in  the  tracks  will 
be  unavoidable ;  and  the  great  advantage  of  this  form  of  wheel  consists  in  their  so  readily 
accommodating  therr>selves  to  the  degrees  of  curvature  upon  the  road  that  there  scarcely 
appears  to  be  any  perceptible  obstacle  to  the  passage  of  cars  over  them  greater  than  on  a 
straight  line." 

These  remarks  were  undoubtedly  called  forth,  in  part,  by  the  efforts  which  many  distin- 
guished engineers  were  then  making  to  prove  that  railroads  could  not  be  successfully  operated 
in  such  States  as  Maryland  and  Virginia  from  the  broken  character  of  their  surfaces,  which 
would  require  the  almost  constant  curvature  of  the  lines  that  might  be  constructed. 

The  first  locomotive  ever  used  in  the  United  Slates  was  one  imported  from  England  in 
1829,  constructed  by  Foster,  Rastriek  &  Company,  at  Stourbridge,  and  called  the  "  Stourbridge 
Lion."  This  engine  was  imported  for  use  upon  the  Carbondale  and  Honesdale  Railroad,  belong- 
ing to  the  Delaware  and  Hudson  Canal  Company,  and  extending  from  their  canal  towards  the 
mines.  The  first  experimental  trip  was  made  by  it  on  the  8th  of  Ai.gust,  1829.  It  was 
lound  too  heavy  for  the  track,  and  its  use  consequently  had  to  be  abandored.  The  first  loco- 
motive built  in  this  country,  and  the  second  ever  in  use  in  it,  was  made  at  the  "West  Point  Foun- 
dry Works  in  New  York  in  1830.  It  was  called  "The  Best  Friend  of  Charleston,"  having 
been  built  for  use  on  the  South  Carolina  Railroad,  then  in  process  of  constiuction.  It  arrived 
at  Charleston  on  the  23d  of  October,  1830,  and  was  placed  on  the  road  November  2,  1830. 
The  second  ?ngine  constructed  in  this  country  was  by  the  same  parties,  for  the  same  road. 
The  third,  also  constructed  by  the  "West  Point  Company,  was  placed  on  the  Mohawk  and 
Hudson,  now  a  part  of  the  New  York  Central  Railroad,  in  1831,  and  weighed  three  tons. 
It  was  used  on  the  summit  between  the  two  planes  worked  by  stationary  engines,  that  near 
Albany  having  a  length  of  3,102  feet,  that  near  Schenectady  2,046  feet.  One  of  English 
manufacture,  weighing  6  tons,  imported  for  its  use,  was  discontinued  on  account  of  its  weight, 
which  was  too  great  for  the  track.  It  may  be  here  remembered  that,  alth<  ugh  the  ex- 
periment on  the  Stockton  and  Darlington  Railway  seemed  to  be  conclusive  as  to  the  prac-

ticability  of  using  steam  upon  railroads,  a  commissiou,  composed  of  distinguished  engineers, 
appointed  so  late  as  1829  to  consider  the  comparative  merits  of  transportation  by  locomotive 
or  stationary  power,  made  a  report  in  favor  of  the  latter,  in  which  they  proposed  the  erection 
of  stationary  engines  at  points  within  time  miles  of  each  other — the  trains  to  be  drawn  by  an 
endless  rope  or  chain. 

As  early  as  1832  the  use  of  locomotive?  may  be  said  to  have  been  fairly  established. 
Fiom  that  time  the  comparative  excellence  of  the  engines  to  be  used  was  the  only  subject  for 
consideration.  Constant  and  rapid  improvements  were  made  in  their  construction.  Nothing 
can  be  more  striking  than  to  contrast  the  present  engine  with  that  of  1826.  The  latter 
period — only  fifty  years  distant — represents  the  strne  age  of  our  railroad  civilization.  The 
locomotives  first  constructed  weighed  only  from  three  to  six  tons,  ard  were  hardly  capable  of 
drawing  on  a  level  road  half  the  weight  of  the  improved  machine  of  the  present  day. 

No  scoter  was  the  superiority  of  rail  roads  over  the  ordinary  highway  fully  demonstrated 
both  in  this  country  acd  in  England,  than  a  great  many  schemes  were  immediately  set  on  foot 
A  great  stimulus  was  supplied  by  our  peculiar  political  organization.  Each  State  is  a  sort  of 
miniature  sovereignty,  with  local  interests  and  ambitions  which  are  often  encouraged  by  it,  in 
its  corporate  or  collective  capacity.  The  same  may  be  said  of  the  numerous  municipal  organ- 
izations into  which  each  State  is  divided.  As  the  State  of  New  York  constructed  the  Erie 
Canal,  the  pioneer  work  of  the  kind,  so  similar  movements  in  other  States  were  more  or  less 
assisted  and  controlled  by  them.  It  was  the  only  mode  by  which,  at  that  time,  the  means 
for  works  of  any  considerable  magnitude  could  be  provided.  The  credit  of  the  States,  as  well 
as  of  municipal  bodies,  stood  high  for  any  sums  they  might  wish  to  borrow.  Local  pride  and 
the  advantages  to  be  gained  by  opening  lines  of  railroad  communication  into  the  interior 
upon  such  routes  especially  as  were  impracticable  for  canals,  as  well  as  the  necessity 
imposed  upon  them  to  counteract  the  influence  of  the  Erie  Canal,  induced  almost  every 
State,  as  well  as  every  considerable  commercial  community,  to  undertake  their  construction. 
We  have  already  briefly  referred  to  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  railroad,  which  preceded 
all  others  in  point  of  time.  The  next  important  one  was  the  South  Carolina,  begun  in 
1830,  and  opened  for  traffic  in  1833  for  its  whole  length  (135  miles).  At  that  time,  it  was  the 
longest  continuous  line  of  railroad  in  the  world.  The  construction  of  the  Mohawk  and  Hudson 
now  a  part  of  the  New  York  Central,  was  begun  in  1830.  It  was  opened  (17  miles)  in  1831. 
The  Saratoga  and  Schenectady  Railroad  (21|  miles),  was  opened  in  the  following  year;  the 
Cayuga  and  Susquehanna  (34  miles),  connecting  the  Susquehanna  River  with  the  Cayuga  Lake, 
was  opened  in  1834.;  and  the  Rensselaer  and  Saratoga  (25  miles)  in  1835.  In  New  Jersey, 
that  portion  of  the  Camden  and  Amboy  extending  from  Bordentown  to  Hightstown  (14  mile?), 
was  opened  on  the  22d  of  December,  1830;  and  between  Hightstown  and  South  Amboy 
(47$  miles),  in  1834.  In  Pennsylvania  a  considerable  extent  of  line  for  the  transportation  of 
coal  had  been  constructed  previous  to  1835.  In  1834  the  Philadelphia  and  Columbia  (82 
miles),  and  the  Portage  Eailroad  (36  miles),  both  forming  a  part  of  the  system  of  public  works 
undertaken  by  the  State  of  Pennsylvania,  were  opened.  The  completion  of  these  gave  that 
State  a  continuous  line,  made  up  of  canal  and  railroad,  from  Philadelphia  to  the  Ohio  river 
at  Pittsburg.  The  total  mileage  of  railroad  constructed  in  this  State  up  to  and  including 
1835,  was  265  miles,  or  more  than  one  quarter  of  the  whole  extent  of  line  then  in  use  in  the 
United  States.  In  1833  the  Baltimore  ;  nd  Ohio  Railroad  was  extended  as  far  west  as 
Harper's  Ferry  (81  miles).  In  the  same  year  the  "Washington  branch  (30  miles)  was  also 
complete.  In  Massachusetts,  in  1835,  the  Boston  and  Worcester  Railroad  (44  miles);  the 
Boston  and  Providence  (41  miles),  and  the  Boston  and  Lowell  (26  miles)  were  all  opened  for 
business.  The  total  extent  of  mileage  in  operation  in  all  the  States  at  the  close  of  that 
year  was  1,098  miles.

The  railroads  first  constructed  bore  about  the  same  relation  to  those  of  the  present  day 
that  the  first  locomotive  did  to  those  now  in  use.  They  were  slightly  constructed  works,  with 
a  longitudinal  sill,  intended  to  sustain  the  weight  of  the  trains,  the  rail  or  strap  of  iron 
laid  upon  it  serving  to  prevent  the  abrasion  of  the  wood  rather  than  to  add  any  strength  to 
the  structure.  Of  course,  until  the  wooden  sill  gave  place  to  the  heavy  iron  rail,  no  consider- 
able rate  of  speed  and  no  considerable  amount  of  traffic  were  possible.  The  change  from  wood 
to  iron  in  the  superstructure  was  a  very  gradual  one.  It  was  not  until  1850,  that  the  longi- 
tudinal sill  arid  the  flat  rail  were  entirely  removed  from  the  Utica  and  Scheuectady,  the  most 
important  link  in  the  New  York  Central  line.  The  early  railroads,  consequently,  though  of 
great  local  convenience  and  value,  exerted  very  little  influence  over  the  commerce  of  the 
country. 

The  first  great  revolution  in  railway  traffic  in  this  country,  therefore,  was  the  substitution 
of  the  heavy  iron  rail  for  the  old  superstructure,  part  wood  and  part  iron.  The  next  was 
the  opening  in  1851  of  the  Erie  Railway  to  Lake  Erie.  The  State  of  Massachusetts,  how- 
ever, had  made  an  important  advance  in  1842,  when  it  extended  its  railroad  system  to  the 
Hudson  River,  opposite  Albany.  In  the  same  year  a  continuous  line  of  railroad  was  open 
from  Albany  to  Buffalo,  by  the  completion  of  the  Tonavvanda  Railroad,  now  a  part  of  the 
New  York  Central.  The  Central,  however,  was  practically  excluded  from  the  transpor- 
tation of  freight  by  being  subjected  to  the  canal  tolls,  as  a  matter  of  protection  to  that 
work.  It  was  not  until  1851,  the  year  of  the  opening  of  the  Erie  road,  that  this  restriction 
was  removed.  That  year,  consequently,  marked  in  effect  the  opening  of  two  lines  of  railroad 
from  Lake  Erie  to  tide  water,  and,  if  not  so  conspicuous  in  the  history  of  our  public  works  as 
that  of  1826,  it  was  by  far  the  more  important  one  to  the  commerce  and  welfare  of  the  country. 

The  following  tabular  statement  will  show  the  railroad  mileage  in  actual  operation  in 
the  United  States  in  1851,  and  their  earnings  both  in  passengers  and  freight:

Twenty-five  years,  therefore,  elapsed  from  the  experiment  on  the  Stockton  and  Darling, 
ton  Railway,  and  from  the  granting  of  the  first  railroad  charter  in  the  United  States,  before 
the  new  agencies  then  set  at  work,  which  were  to  produce  such  tremendous  results,  had 
reached  a  stage  in  their  progress  and  a  degree  of  perfection  in  their  construction  and  in  that 
of  their  machinery,  which  enabled  them,  for  the  first  time,  to  act  on  anything  like  a  grand 
and  adequate  scale  upon  the  productive  and  commercial  interests  of  the  country.  The  year 
1851,  therefore,  appropriately  divides  the  half  century  of  our  railroad  history  into  two  equal 
parts  —one  of  preparation,  the  other  of  achievement. 

After  Lake  Erie  was  reached,  the  next  great  step  was  the  extension  of  the  Northern 
system  of  railroads  to  Chicago  by  the  completion,  in  1853,  of  the  Cleveland  and  Toledo  (now 
a  part  of  the  Lake  Shore  and  Michigan  Southern)  R.  R.  The  Hudson  River  Railroad,  an 
important  member  of  this  system,  was  opened  in  1851.  The  Michigan  Central  and  Michigan 
Southern,  extending  from  Lake  Erie  to  Chicago,  were  opened  in  1852,  ten  years  after  the 
opening  of  the  main  line  of  the  New  York  Central  from  Albany  to  Buffalo. 

The  construction  of  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad,  now  one  of  the  most  important  of  our 
public  works,  was  begun  in  1847.  It  was  opened  for  business  in  1854.  This  line  was 
extended  to  Chicago  by  the  Pittsburg,  Fort  "Wayne  and  Chicago,  which  was  completed  in 
1858.  The  Baltimore  and  Ohio  Railroad,  the  first  undertaken  in  the  United  States,  was 
opened  on  the  12th  of  January,  1853,  to  the  Ohio  at  Wheeling. 

In  the  preceding  sketch  we  have  briefly  recapitulated  the  works  first  undertaken,  and 
have  traced  the  progress  westward  of  the  great  trunk  lines  based  upon  Boston,  New  York, 
Philadelphia  and  Baltimore.  Some  progress  had,  however,  been  made  in  the  Valley  of  the 
Mississippi  before  either  of  those  lines  had  reached  that  valley  or  Lake  Erie.  The  Mad 
River  (now  a  part  of  the  Cincinnati,  Sandusky  and  Cleveland)  was  the  first  work  of  the  kind 
undertaken  in  the  West,  having  been  begun  in  1835,  a  portion  of  it  being  completed  in  1838. 
In  1848,  in  connection  with  the  Little  Miami  Railroad,  it  formed  a  part  of  the  first  continuous 
line  of  railway  from  Lake  Erie  to  the  Ohio  River.  The  construction  of  the  Little  Miami  was 
begun  in  1837  and  completed  to  Springfield  in  1846.  The  next  important  line  constructed  in 
Ohio  was  the  Cleveland.  Columbus  and  Cincinnati,  which  was  begun  in  1848  and  opened  in 
1851.  The  completion  of  this  road  formed,  in  connection  with  the  Xenia  and  the  Little 
Miami,  the  second  continuous  line  between  Lake  Erie  and  the  Ohio.  The  Cleveland  and 
Pittsburg,  making  the  third  connection  between  them,  was  opened  in  1852.  The  Pittsburg, 
Fort  Wayne,  and  Chicago,  opened  in  1858,  formed  the  first  continuous  line  through  the  State 
from  the  Ohio  River  to  Chicago.  The  Marietta  and  Cincinnati  Railroad,  which  extended  the 
Baltimore  and  Ohio  to  Cincinnati,  was  opened  in  1857. 

In  Indiana  the  Madison  and  Indianapolis  Railroad,  one  of  the  earliest  constructed  in  the 
West,  was  opened  in  1847.  The  first  line  running  east  and  west  through  this  State  was 
made  up  of  the  Indiana  Central,  and  the  Indianapolis  and  Terre  Haute,  and  was  opened  in 
1853.  The  next  line  crossing  the  State  in  the  same  direction,  the  Ohio  and  Mississippi, 
extending  from  Cincinnati  to  St.  Louis,  was  opened  in  1857.  The  New  Albany  and  Salem, 
now  the  Louisville,  New  Albany  and  Chicago,  the  first  line  connecting  Lake  Michigan  and 
the  Ohio,  a  line  wholly  within  Indiana,  was  opened  in  1854. 

The  work  first  undertaken  in  the  State  of  Illinois,  and  the  second  in  the  West,  was  the 
Sangamon  and  Morgan,  a  portion  of  which  was  opened,  as  a  State  work,  in  1839.  This  road 
now  forms  a  part  of  the  Toledo,  Wabash  and  Western.  The  second  line  undertaken  in  this 
State  was  the  Galena  and  Chicago,  the  construction  of  which  was  begun  in  1849.  It  was 
open  for  a  distance  of  ten  miles  in  1850.  The  line  first  opened  in  this  State  from  Chicago  to 
the  Mississippi  was  the  Chicago  and  Rock  Island,  completed  in  February,  1854  The 
completion  of  this  road  extended  the  railway  system  of  the  country  to  the  Mississippi,  up  to 


X  RAILROAD  MANUAL  OF   THE  UNITED   STATES. 

that  time  the  great  route  of  the  commerce  of  the  interior.  This  work,  in  connection  with 
the  numerous  other  lines  since  opened,  has  almost  wholly  diverted  this  commerce  from 
what  may  be  termed  its  natural  to  artificial  channels,  so  that  no  considerable  portion  of  it 
.  now  floats  down  the  river  to  New  Orleans. 

A  second  line  was  opened  to  the  Mississippi  in  1855,  made  up  in  part  of  the  Galena  and 
Chicago,  and  the  Illinois  Central.  The  third,  the  Chicago  and  Alton,  was  opened  the  same 
year.  The  fourth,  the  Chicago,  Burlington  and  Quincy,  in  1856;  the  fifth,  the  Illinois  Cen- 
tral, in  the  same  year.  In  1858  the  La  Crosse  and  Milwaukee,  now  a  part  of  the  Chicago, 
Milwaukie  and  St.  Paul  Railroad,  was  completed  from  the  lake  to  the  river,  being  the  sixth  in 
the  order  of  time. 

In  1859  the  completion  of  the  Hannibal  and  St.  Joseph  Railroad  carried  the  railway 
system  of  the  country  from  the  Mississippi  to  the  Missouri.  The  next  line  between  these 
rivers  was  made  by  the  Chicago,  Iowa  and  Nebraska,  and  the  Cedar  Rapids  and  Missouri 
River  Railroad,  which  was  opened  in  1866.  The  Burlington  and  Missouri  River  Railroad, 
making  a  similar  connection,  was  opened  in  1871.  An  important  extension  was  made  of 
the  Milwaukie  and  Mississippi  Railroad  at  Prairie  du  Chien  to  St.  Paul,  Minnesota.  In  1870 
this  line  was  further  extended  by  the  completion  of  the  Lake  Superior  and  Mississippi  Rail- 
road to  Duluth,  at  the  extreme  western  end  of  that  lake. 

In  the  preceding  paragraphs  we  have  sketched  the  progress  to  the  Missouri  River  of 
what  may  be  termed  the  Northern  system  of  railroads,  of  which  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio, 
with  its  connecting  lines,  forms  the  southern  boundary  or  member.  Its  construction  was 
prosecuted  with  far  greater  vigor  than  what  ma}7  be  termed  the  Southern  system,  from  the 
greater  amount  of  capital  at  its  command,  and  from  the  fact  that  its  trunk  lines  rested  upon 
communities  having  a  great  commercial  importance  even  before  the  construction  of  these 
works.  South  of  Baltimore,  there  is  no  important  commercial  city  upon  the  Atlantic  coast, 
and  no  one  which  commands  a  trade  extending  beyond  the  eastern  slope  of  the  Alleghanies. 
New  Orleans,  at  the  outlet  of  the  Mississippi,  which  but  for  railroads  must  have  been  the 
great  commercial  metropolis  of  the  country,  has  already  lost  a  very  large  portion  of  the  trade 
of  the  interior,  and  must  continue  to  lose  it  with  the  progress  of  railroads,  and  with  the 
reduction  in  the  cost  of  railroad  transportation.  Whatever  is  produced  in  the  United  States 
naturally  seeks  the  great  Eastern  cities,  and  through  them  Europe,  for  a  market.  Railroads 
enable  even  the  most  southerly  States  to  avoid  the  circuitous  route  by  the  Gulf,  the 
climate  of  which,  from  its  intense  heat,  is  injurious  to  a  large  class  of  their  products, 
and  which  is  expensive  from  the  high  rates  of  insurance,  and  interest  which  is  to  be  allowed 
upon  the  value  of  merchandise  while  in  transit.  The  Southern  States,  therefore,  present  a 
striking  contrast  to  the  Northern,  not  only  in  their  smaller  railroad  mileage  in  proportion  to 
their  areas,  but  in  the  smallness  of  the  receipts  of  those. that  have  been  built.  They  are,  in 
fact,  to  be  regarded  mainly  as  lines  tributary  to  the  great  Northern  system.  The  recent 
civil  war  was  a  most  disastrous  blow  to  all  Southern  seaports,  as  they  were  closed  for  seve- 
ral years,  while  those  of  the  North  were  open.  The  trade  of  a  large  extent  of  territory,  once 
dependent  upon  them,  sought  and  became  habituated  to  new  channels  and  new  outlets.  The 
trade  thus  lost  is  not  likely  to  be  recovered.  The  tendency  towards  centralization  which 
everywhere  displays  itself,  has  become  too  strong  to  be  resisted.  A  few  great  ports  upon 
the  Atlantic  coast  must  absorb  the  larger  portion  of  the  trade  and  commerce  of  the  greater 
part  of  the  continent  lying  east  of  the  Rocky  Mountains. 

The  road  first  constructed  in  the  Southern  States,  as  already  stated,  was  the  South 
Carolina,  the  work  upon  which  was  begun  in  1830,  and  completed  in  1833.  In  Virginia,  the 
road  first  completed  was  the  Richmond,  Fredericksburg  and  Potomac,  which  was  opened 
from  Richmond  to  Fredericksburg  in  1837,  and  to  the  Potomac  in  1841.  The  Richmond

and  Petersburg  was  opened  in  1838;  the  Petersburg  and  Roanoke  in  1843.  These  three 
roads  formed  a  continuous  line  from  the  Potomac  River  to  the  southern  boundary  of  the 
State;  that  river  serving,  as  it  still  does,  as  a  connecting  link  between  the  northern  and 
southern  systems.  From  the  southern  boundary  of  Virginia,  the  Wilmington  and  Weldon 
Railroad  (opened  1840)  carries  the  system  of  the  former  to  Wilmington,  North  Carolina. 
The  latter  road  was  extended  to  the  South  Carolina  system  in  1853,  by  the  completion  of  the 
Wilmington  and  Manchester  Railroad.  From  Augusta,  the  western  terminus  of  the  South 
Carolina  Railroad,  the  Georgia  Railroad  was  opened  to  Atlanta  in  1839.  The  Georgia  Central 
Railroad,  connecting  Savannah  with  the  above  line,  was  opened  in  1840.  From  Atlanta, 
the  railway  system  of  South  Carolina  and  Georgia  was  extended  to  the  Tennessee  River, 
at  Chattanooga,  by  tho  completion  of  the  Western  and  Atlantic  Railroad  of  Georgia,  a 
State  work,  in  1850.  From  Atlanta,  a  line  of  railroad  was  opened  to  Montgomery  in  Ala- 
bama in  1853,  made  up  of  the  Atlanta  and  West  Point,  and  Montgomery  and  West  Point. 
This  line  was  extended  to  Mobile  in  1862,  and  thence  to  New  Orleans  by  the  New  Orleans 
and  Mobile  Railroad  in  1870  In  1858  the  Virginia  system  was  extended  southwesterly  to 
Chattanooga  by  the  completion  of  the  Virginia  and  Tennessee  Railroad  in  1856,  and  the  East 
Tenneisee  aud  Virginia  in  1858. 

From  Chattanooga,  the  Western  and  Atlantic  Railroad  was  extended  to  Nashville  by  the 
completion  of  the  Nashville  and  Chattanooga  Railroad  in  1854,  and  in  1857  to  Memphis,  on 
the  Mississippi  River,  by  the  Memphis  and  Charleston  Railroad.  The  first  connection  made 
between  the  Mississippi,  near  the  Onio,  and  the  Gulf  of  Mexico,  was  by  the  Mobile  aud  Ohio, 
which  was  opened  in  1859.  The  Louisville  and  Nashville,  which  formed  the  connection 
between  Louisville  and  the  Southern  Atlantic  and  Gulf  States,  was  opened  in  1859.  On  the 
1st  of  January,  1874,  a  direct  and  continuous  line  was  opened  between  Chicago  and  New 
Orleans,  by  the  extension  northward  to  the  Mississippi,  near  Cairo,  of  the  New  Orleans  and 
Jackson  aud  Mississippi  Central  Railroads. 

To  the  west  of  the  Missouri,  the  progress  of  railroads  within  the  past  teu  years  has  been 
on  a  grand  scale.  No  portion  of  the  United  States  is  so  well  adapted  to  the  cheap  construc- 
tion and  maintenance  of  these  works  as  the  vast  plain  lying  between  the  Mississippi  and 
Missouri  rivers  and  the  base  of  the  Rocky  Mountains.  Among  the  more  important  of  these 
extreme. Western  lines  is  the  St  Louis  and  Iron  Mountain,  which  extends  from  St.  Louis  by 
way  of  Little  Rock,  to  the  northern  boundary  of  Texas,  and  to  a  connection  with  the  Inter- 
national Railroad  of  Texas,  by  means  of  which  a  line  is  now  opened  from  St.  Louis  to 
Houston  and  Galveston  in  Texas,  and  to  the  Central  portions  of  that  State.  The  distance 
between  St.  Louis  and  Galveston  by  this  line  is  870  miles.  Another,  and  partly  parallel  line, 
is  the  Missouri,  Kansas  and  Texas,  extending  from  Hannibal  in  Missouri  through  a  portion 
of  Kansas,  and  what  is  known  as  the  Indian  Territory,  to  JDeuison,  near  the  northern  bound- 
ary of  Texas,  a  distance  of  576  mile.*.  At  that  point  it  connects  with  the  Houston  and 
Great  Northern  Railroad,  by  means  of  which  a  second  line  is  formed  between  the  Western 
system  aud  Houston  and  Galveston  of  964  miles. 

Another  important  line  west  of  the  Missouri  is  the  Kansas  Pacific,  extending  from 
Leavenworth,  Kansas,  to  Denver,  Colorado,  a  distance  of  635  miles,  and  944  miles  from  St. 
Louis  by  way  of  the  Pacific  Railroad  of  Missouri.  Another  line  equally  important  is  the 
Atchison,  Topeka  and  Santa  Fe,  extending  from  Atchisou  to  Pueblo,  and  to  a  junction 
with  the  Denver  and  Rio  Grande  Railroad.  Pueblo  is  917  miles  west  of  St.  Louis.  The 
several  roads  just  named  have  been  recently  constructed  through  a  comparatively  thinly 
settled  country,  on  the  future  development  of  which  their  value  must  mainly  depend.  The 
St.  Louis  and  Iron  Mountain,  and  the  Missouri,  Kansas  aud  Texas,  in  connection  with  the 
International  and  Houston  and  Texas  Central,  connect  themselves  with  the  whole  railroad

system  of  Texas,  and  a  large  part  of  the  enormous  area  of  that  State,  and  will  have  the 
effect  to  divert  a  very  considerable  portion  of  its  trade  to  the  Northern  States. 

The  great  work,  however,  west  of  ihe  Missouri  is  the  Pacific  Railroads,  known  as  the 
Union  and  the  Central  Pacific,  from  having  been  built  by  two  companies  in  about  equal  propor- 
tions. This  line  was  chartered  by  the  general  government  on  the  2d  day  of  July,  1862.  Its 
object  was  to  strengthen  the  position  of  the  Northern  States  by  allying  them  with  those  on  the 
Pacific  slope,  in  view  of  a  possible  disruption  of  the  Union.  The  secession  of  all  the  mem- 
bers of  Congress  from  the  Southern  States  placed  it  within  the  powt r  of  the  Northern  to 
exercise  full  prerogatives  of  sovereignty.  The  Southern  States  had  always  held  the  creation 
of  corporate  bodies  by  the  General  Government  to  be  unconstitutional,  it  being,  as  they  alleged, 
a  government  of  limited  powers  in  everything  but  in  its  relations  to  foreign  nations.  "We  are 
not  aware  that  any  similar  act  had  been  performed  by  it  since  the  incorporation  of  the  last 
Bank  of  the  United  States  in  1817.  But  for  the  secession  of  the  Southern  States,  it  is  not 
probable  that  any  change  would  have  taken  place  in  the  theory  of  its  limited  power*.  On 
this  account,  the  incorporation  of  the  Pacific  Railroad  was  an  act  of  the  greatest  importance, 
as  it  is  a  precedent  for  a  radical  change  in  the  traditional  doctrine  that  the  States  composed  a 
federation,  not  a  nation.  As  this  act  has  been  followed  by  that  of  the  creation  of  a  general  bank- 
ing law  operative  in  all  the  States,  it  is  not  probable  that  any  further  objections  will  be  made 
to  the  exercise  by  the  Government  of  similar  acts  of  sovereignty. 

The  work  of  construction  on  the  eastern  section  of  the  Pacific  Railroad  was  begun  in  the 
latter  part  of  December,  1863,  although  no  considerable  amount  was  done  until  the  year  1865,  in 
which  40  miles  only  were  opened.  In  1866,  265  miles  were  opened  ;  in  1867,  245  miles;  in  1868, 
350  miles.  In  1869,  the  road  was  completed  to  a  junction  with  the  Central  Pacific  of  California, 
at  Ogden,  when  a  continuous  line  was  formed  across  the  continent.  The  latter  road  was  com- 
menced in  1863.  It  was  opened  to  the  summit  of  the  Sierra  Nevada,  105  miles,  in  1867  ;  to 
the  eastern  boundary  of  the  State,  138  miles  from  Sacramento,  in  January,  1868;  and  to 
Ogden,  a  point  of  junction  with  the  Union  Pacific,  on  the  9th  day  of  May,  1869,  and 
simultaneously  with  the  completion  to  that  point  of  the  latter  road.  The  whole  line  of  1,921 
miles  was  constructed  within  a  period  of  six  years.  It  crosses  the  Rocky  Mountains  at  an 
elevation  of  8,242  feet  above  tide,  and  the  Sierra  Nevada  Range  at  7,042  feet  above.  As  the 
whole  line,  when  constructed,  was  through  a  territory  almost  wholly  unoccupied,  presenting 
numerous  engineering  difficulties  of  great  magnitude,  its  construction  within  a  period 
of  six  years,  and  at  the  rate  of  a  mile  for  every  working  day,  was  an  achievement  without  a 
parallel.  As  the  writer  of  this  sketch  was  connected  with  the  Union  Pacific  Railroad  at  its 
organization,  and  some  time  thereafter,  and  was  somewhat  familiar  with  its  early  history,  he 
takes  this  opportunity  to  offer  his  testimony  to  the  value  of  the  services  rendered  by  the  late 
Hon.  Oakes  Ames  in  the  prosecution  of  this  great  enterprise,  and  to  express  his  belief  that 
without  them  the  eastern  division  could  not  have  been  carried  forward  to  its  successful 
completion.  No  man  ever  rendered  a  more  valuable  public  service. 

In  the  early  part  of  May,  1804,  an  expedition,  known  as  Lewis  arid  Clarke's,  started 
from  the  Missouri  River,  near  St.  Louis,  on  a  tour  of  exploration  to  the  Pacific  coast,  upon 
the  waters  of  the  Missouri  and  Columbia  Rivers.  It  was  furnished  with  all  the  means  and 
material  that  the  Government,  by  which  it  was  organized,  could  supply.  The  first  season 
only  sufficed  for  it  to  reach  the  Mandan  Villages,  upon  the  Upper  Missouri ;  the  next,  to 
cross  the  mountains  and  reach  the  Pacific  coast,  near  the  mouth  of  the  Columbia,  where  it 
passed  its  second  winter.  It  reached  St.  Louis,  on  its  return,  on  the  23d  of  September,  1806, 
having  been  absent  nearly  two  and  a  half  years.  For  more  than  two  years  no  tidings  what- 
ever had  been  received  from  it,  and  for  more  than  a  year  it  had  been  given  up  for  lost. 
Eighteen  months  were  required  to  reach  the  Pacific  coast.  On  the  first  day  of  June,  1876, 
a  railroad  train  left  the  city  of  New  York,  1,200  miles  east  of  St.  Louis,  for  San  Francisco, 


RAILROAD  MANUAL  OF   THE  UNITED  STATES. 


Xiii 


and  reached  that  city  in  83  hours  and  53  minutes,  running  time.  The  distance  between  the 
two  cities  by  the  route  of  the  railroad  was  3,316  miles.  The  weight  of  the  train  was  126 
tons.  The  rate  of  speed,  including  stops,  for  the  whole  distance,  equalled  40  miles  the 
hour.  The  distance  between  New  York  and  Pittsburg,  440  miles,  was  run  by  one  engine 
without  stopping,  in  'ten  hours  and  five  minutes ;  that  between  Pittsburg  and  Chicago,  468 
miles,  in  11  hours  and  31  minutes;  that  between  Chicago  and  Council  Bluffs,  488  miles,  in 
11  hours  and  30  minutes ;  that  between  Council  Bluffs  and  Ogden,  the  western  terminus  of 
the  Union  Pacific  Road,  1,033  miles,  in  24  hours  and  50  minutes;  that  between  Ogden  and 
San  Francisco,  876  miles,  in  23  hours  and  38  minutes.  The  railroad  crosses  three  formidable 
mountain  ranges:  the  Alleghanies,  at  an  elevation  of  2,250  feet  above  the  sea;  the  Rocky 
Mountains,  at  an  elevation  of  8,242  feet;  and  the  Sierra  Nevada,  at  7.042  feet.  Meals  were 
served  in  one  of  the  cars  ;  another  was  divided  into  commodious  sleeping  apartments,  so  that 
the  party  travelled  with  every  luxury  that  the  best  public  house  could  supply,  and  reached 
San  Francisco  with  no  extraordinary  fatigue.  No  more  striking  illustration  can  be  given  of 
the  progress  made  by  our  people  within  the  last  half  century  in  the  arts  most  useful  to  the 
race.  It  would  seem  presumption  to  predict  a  similar  rate  of  progress^for  the  next  fifty  years; 
yet  such  prediction  can  appear  no  more  incredible  to  us  than  would  have  appeared  one  to 
our  people  fifty  years  ago,  of  what  has  since  been  realized. 

The  number  of  miles  of  railroad  opened  each  year  since  1830,  in  the  various  States,  as 
well  as  in  the  aggregate,  will  sufficiently  appear  in  the  accompanying  tabular  statements.  In 
the  first  decade,  from  and  including  1830,  2,302  miles  were  constructed;  in  the  second,  5,063 
miles;  in  the  third,  21,424  miles ;  in  the  fourth,  which  included  the  period  of  the  war  of  the 
rebellion,  18,419  miles  ;  and  in  the  last  six  years,  27,450  miles.  The  greatest  extent  of  mile- 
age— 7,670— constructed  in  any  one  year,  was  in  1871.  The  mileage  constructed  the  past 
year  was  1,917  miles ;  that  within  the  previous  year,  1,901.  In  the  five  years  from 
1868  to  1873  inclusive,  28,585  miles  were  constructed,  being  an  average  of  5,713  miles  for 
each  year.  Their  construction  during  the  period  last  named  was  far  in  excess  of  any  provi- 
sion existing  for  their  proper  support.  The  ratio  of  railroad  mileage  to  the  population  of  the 
country  is  as  one  mile  to  582  persons.  The  total  investment  hi  these  works  exceeds 
$4,600,000,000,  an  average  of  over  $1,000  to  each  person.  To  enable  the  whole  invest- 
ment to  pay  6  per  cent,  on  its  cost,  each  person  must  contribute  to  it  at  least  $18  annually. 
Such  a  rate  is  already  attained  in  some  States,  and  will  probably  be  speedily  reached  in  all  the 
Northern  ones. 

Rapid  as  has  been  the  progress  in  the  construction  of  our  railroads,  that  of  their  traffic, 
especially  of  merchandise,  has  been  in  far  greater  ratio.  Subjoined  is  a  comparative  state- 
ment of  the  tonnage  moved  on  the  New  York  Central,  the  Erie  and  the  Pennsylvania  Railroads 
in  the  years  1855  and  1875,  and  their  earnings  therefrom  for  the  same  years :

XIV  RAILROAD  MANUAL   OF   THE  UNITED   STATES. 

twenty  years  has  been  more  than  tenfold,  while  their  earnings  have  increased  less  than  five- 
fold, showing  that  the  charges  of  transportation  have,  within  the  period  named,  been  reduced 
one  half;  but  this  does  riot  express  the  full  amount  of  the  reduction  that  has  taken  place,  for 
freight  is  now  moved  by  the  above  roads  for  distances  at  least  one  half  greater  than  they 
were  in  1855.  The  charges  for  transportation,  therefore,  do  not  exceed  one  third  the  rates  of 
twenty  years  ago.  The  statement  just  given  is  a  striking  illustration  of  the  rapid  progress 
that  has  been  niadn  in  the  development  of  the  material  interests  of  the  nation.  The  total 
mileage  in  the  country  in  1855  was  18,374 miles;  in  1875  it  was  74,658  miles,  the  increase  of 
mileage  in  that  period  having  been  56,294  miles,  the  rate  of  increase  having  been  more  than 
fourfold.  Taking  into  consideration  the  increase  of  mileage  and  the  increased  tonnage  on  the 
mileage  in  operation  20  years  ago.  the  total  railroad  tonnage  the  past  year  was  probably 
twenty  times  greater  than  it  was  then. 

While  we  are  enabled  to  give,  with  a  good  degree  of  accuracy,  the  progress  of  the  rail- 
road mileage  of  the  country  from  year  to  year,  we  have  no  means  of  giving  an  equally  accu- 
rate statement  of  that  of  its  traffic.  Only  a  few  of  the  States,  till  a  recent  period,  have 
required  their  railroad  compa  des  to  make  full  returns  of  their  operations.  The  amount  of' 
tonnage,  therefore,  at  a  comparatively  early  date,  is  a  matter  of  inference  rather  than 
of  direct  proof.  The  total  tonnage  for  1851  of  all  the  railroads  in  the  State  of  New  York, 
having  a  mileage  of  1,703  miles,  was  1,093,381  tons,  as  shown  in  their  returns  made  to  its 
Legislature.  The  average  was  642  tons  to  the  mile.  The  mileage  of  railroads  in  actual  ope- 
ration that  year  in  the  United  States  equalled  8,836  miles.  A  tonnage  for  such  aggregate 
equal  to  that  of  the  railroads  of  New  York  would  amount  to  5,672,712  tons.  The  total  ton- 
nage of  all  the  railroads  in  the  United  States  the  past  year  cannot  be  less  than  200,000,000 
tons.  In  other  words,  the  increase  of  the  railway  tonnage  in  the  United  States  during  the 
twenty-live  years  just  passed  has  b&sa  forty/old.  If  the  value  of  such  tonnage  be  estimated 
at  $50  the  ton,  the  aggregate  of  that  moved  in  1851  was  $275,241,400;  and  of  that  moved 
in  the  past  year,  $10,000,000.000.  Enormous  as  is  such  an  estimate  of  increase,  it  cannot 
be  considered  excessive.  The  increase  of  tonnage  is  probably  greater  than  that  estimated. 
Its  value  may  be  somewhat  less  from  the  large  quantity  of  coal  now  moved.  Nothing- 
shown  at  the  great  Exposition  at  Philadelphia  can  compare  with  the  increase  of  the  railroad 
traffic  of  the  country,  as  an  illustration  of  its  material  progress  for  the  last  twenty-five  years. 

The  construction  of  railroads  in  the  United  States  has  proceeded  without  reference  to 
any  general  system  or  plan,  and  without  anything  like  supervision  or  oversight  by  the  differ- 
ent States,  from  whom  ihe  authority  to  construct  such  roads  has  been  wholly  derived,  except 
in  the  case  of  the  Pacific  railroads,  or  of  lines  forming  parts  or  branches  of  the  same.  At  an 
early  period  acts  of  incorporation  were  granted  as  a  matter  of  course.  In  most  of  the  States 
the  construction  of  railroads  was  provided  for  by  general  laws,  whereby,  without  any  further 
legislative  authority,  a  certain  number  of  persons  might  associate  themselves  together,  and 
perform  auy  act  necessary  to  the  accomplishment  of  their  object.  In  such  legislation,  the 
State  of  New  York  set  the  example  by  the  enactment  of  a  general  railroad  law  in  1850.  The 
effect  of  such  a  law  is  to  override  local  and  sectional  legislation,  and  allow  a  perfect  adap- 
tation of  the  railroad  system  to  the  commercial  wants  of  the  community.  The  most  perfect 
unity,  therefore,  is  secured  in  the  general  system,  although  the  right  of  construction  is  de- 
rived from  as  many  legislatures  as  there  are  States.  The  States  have  usually  reserved  to 
themselves  the  right  of  revoking  private  charters,  and  to  regulate  the  management  of  the 
roads;  yet  the  authority  to  revoke  them,  has,  we  believe,  never  been  exercised.  In  a  lew  in- 
stances only  has  there  been  interference  in  their  operations.  The  interest  of  the  stockhold- 
ers is  considered  the  best  guarantee  that  the  roads  will  be  well  conducted,  while  there  can 
be  no  monopoly  where  the  right  of  construction  is  open  to  all.

We  have  no  right  to  expect  that  the  rate  of  railway  construction  in  the  future  will, 
a  great  many  years  at  least,  come  up  to  that  of  the  past.  Two  or  three  thousand 
may,  and  probably  will  be  built  yearly.  The  progress  to  be  made  hi  the  future  is  to 
be  in  reduction  in  the  cost  of  transportation.  "We  have  already  shown  that  the  rates  of 
charges  on  freight  have  been  reduced  by  at  least  two  thirds  within  twenty-five  years.  In 
consequence  of  such  reduction,  produce  can  now  be  moved  1,500  miles  at  the  same  cost  as  it 
could  be  moved  500  miles  twenty-five  years  ago.  Such  reduction  is  a  matter  of  the  greatest 
importance  when  the  immense  extent  of  the  country  is  considered.  A  very  large  amount  of 
the  breadstuffs  which  now  come  to  the'  seaboard  is  grown  more  than  1,500  miles  inland. 
With  every  reduction  of  cost  our  available  area  is  extended,  and  with  it  our  ability  to  com- 
pete with  other  food-growing  countries.  Of  the  immense  extent  of  territory  which  we  now 
occupy  on  this  continent,  only  a  very  small  portion  is  yet  really  cultivated.  We  are  com- 
petent to  supply  the  world,  and  there  can  be  no  doubt  that  we  must  very  speedily  have, 
from  oar  position,  from  the  fertility  of  our  soil,  and  from  our  means  of  transportation,  the 
monopoly  of  the  supply  of  Western  Europe.  Our  progress,  therefore,  for  the  future,  if  not 
so  manifest  by  the  extension  of  our  railroads,  is  to  continue  to  be  no  less  solid  and  sub- 
stantial in  the  advantages  which  they  are  certain  to  secure. 

Whatever  temporary  reverse  our  railroad  interests  may  suffer,  they  are  too  intimately 
connected  with  all  the  business  operations  and  growth  of  the  country  to  remain  long  under 
the  depression  which  has  marked  the  last  two  years.  For  a  series  of  over  20  years  tne 
receipts  from  their  operations  have  increased  at  the  rate  of  50  cents  per  capita  per  annum; 
and,  as  1,000,000  persons  are  added  to  our  population  every  year,  it  is  easy  to  see  that,  even 
in  the  less  productive  and  more  thinly  settled  regions,  the  railroads  already  in  operation  will, 
soon  compare  favorably  in  point  of  business  with  those  of  the  older  and  more  populous 
States. 

The  resu'ts  of  the  operations  of  the  several  roads  for  the  past  year  are  embodied  in  the- 
following  tabular  statements.  Prefixed  to  them  are  statements  showing  the  annual  increase- 
of  mileage  of  railroads  in  the  United  States,  from  the  opening  of  the  first  section  of  the  Bal- 
timore and  Ohio  Railroad  in  1830  to  the  close  of  1875,  a  period  of  forty-six  years,  and  the 
number  of  miles  in  each  State  from  1846  to  1875. 

Statement  showing  the  number  of  miles  of  Railroad  constructed  each  year  in  the  United  States, 
from  1830  to  1875,  inclusive.

The  preceding  tabular  statements  present  a  complete  summary  of  the  share  capital,  in- 
debtedness, cost,  earnings,  expenses,  dividends,  etc.,  etc.,  of  the  railroads  of  the  United  States 
in  operation  during  the  year  1875.  The  total  length  of  these  roads  whose  operations  are  so 
reported  was,  for  that  year,  71,759  miles,  against  69,273  miles  for  1874,  66,237  miles  for  1873, 
57,323  for  1872,  and  44,614  for  1871.  The  aggregate  capital  and  debt  account  of  these  roads 
at  the  close  of  their  last  fiscal,  years,  respectively,  was  $4,658,208,630  for  1875;  $4,221,- 
763,594  for  1874;  $3,784,543,034  for  1873;  $3,159,423,057  for  1872;  and  $2,664,627,645 
for  1871.  Of  the  total  cost  $2,198,601,281  was  made  up  of  share  capital,  and  $2,459,607,349 
of  various  forms  of  indebtedness,  chiefly  of  bonds  maturing  at  a  distant  day.  The  proportion 
of  share  capital  to  debt  was  as  89  to  100.  The  average  cost  per  mile  of  all  the  roads  was 
$62,725,  against  $60,425  for  1874,  $57,134  per  mile  in  1873,  $55,116  for  1872,  and  $59,626 
for  1871. 

The  general  result  of  the  operations  for  our  railroads  for  the  last  five  years  is  shown  in 
the  following  table:

It  will  be  seen  that  while  the  gross  earnings  show  a  decrease  of  $17,400,511,  as  com- 
pared with  the  preceding  year,  the  net  earnings  show  a  decrease  of  only  $4,064,520.  This 
decrease  has  been  chiefly  in  freight;  the  earnings  from  that  source  being  $15,506,701  less 
than  for  1874,  while  the  falling  off  in  passenger  receipts  is  only  $1,893,810.  The  increase 
in  dividends,  amounting  to  $7,251,261,  is  due  to  the  dividends  declared  on  the  Pacific  Rail- 
roads. 

Classifying  the  States  by  their  geographical  position  as  usual,  it  will  be  seen  that  the 
gross  earnings  for  the  New  England  States,  were  $48,328.922,  against  $50,064,774  for  1874, 
and  $51,676,688  for  1873.  Of  these  earnings  $26,552,029  were  received  for  transportation

$186,498,438  for  1874,  and  $194,052,302  for  1873.  Of  gross  earnings  $134,904,451  were 
received  for  transportation  of  freight,  mails,  etc.,  and  $40,772,967  for  transportation  of  pas- 
sengers. The  net  earnings  were  $65,609,418,  against  $70, 188, 972  for  1874.  The  dividends

The  New  York  Central  and  Hudson  River  Railroad  Company  was  organized  by  the 
consolidation,  October,  1869,  of  the  New  York  Central  and  the  Hudson  River  Railroad  Com- 
panies, which  up  to  that  date  had  maintained  a  separate  corporate  existence. 

The  New  York  Central  Railroad  Company  was  formed  under  an  act  passed  April  2, 
1853,  by  the  consolidation  of  the  various  lines  of  railroad  between  Albany  and  Buffalo, 
named  below : — 

Albany  and  Schenectady  Railroad,  the  oldest  railroad  in  the  State,  chartered  in  182$, 
under  the  name  of  Mohawk  and  Hudson  R.  R.  Company,  with  power  to  build  a  railroad  from 
Albany  to  Schenectady.  This  road  was  completed  September  24,  1831,  and  was  a  series  of 
inclines — the  motive  power,  at  first,  being  stationary  engines  and  horses,  alternating  with 
locomotive  engines.  This  method  was  soon  abandoned,  and  the  locomotive  afterwards  used

for  the  entire  length  of  the  line,  17  miles.     In  1847,  the  name  was  changed  to  Albany  and 
Schenectady. 

The  Utica  and  Schenectady  Railroad,  chartered  in  1833,  and  opened  August  1,  1836. 

The  Syracuse  and  Utica  Railroad,  chartered  in  1836,  and  opened  July  3,  1839. 

The  Auburn  and  Syracuse  Railroad,  chartered  in  1834,  and  opened  in  1839. 

The  Auburn  and  Rochester  Railroad,  chartered  in  1836,  and  opened  in  August,  1841. 

The  Tonawanda  Railroad,  from  Rochester  to  Attica,  chartered  in  1832,  and  opened  to 
Attica  in  1842. 

The  Attica  and  Buffalo  Railroad,  chartered  in  1836,  and  opened  in  December,  1842. 

The  completion  of  the  last  named  road  opened  a  continuous  line  of  railroad  from  the 
Hudson  River,  at  Albany,  to  Lake  Erie,  at  Buffalo,  but  consisting  of  seven  distinct  lines,  all 
under  separate  management. 

The  Attica  and  Buffalo  and  the  Tonawanda  R.  Rs.  were  consolidated  December  7,  1850, 
under  the  title  of  the  Buffalo  and  Rochester  R.  R. ;  and  in  the  same  year  the  Auburn  and 
Rochester  and  Auburn  and  Syracuse  R.  Rs.  were  consolidated,  under  the  title  of  the  Roch- 
ester and  Syracuse  R.  R. 

Meantime  other  railroads  were  constructed,  which  were  afterwards  comprised  in  the 
New  York  Central,  as  follows : 

The  Lockport  and  Niagara  Falls  Railroad,  chartered  1834,  and  opened  1838;  afterwards, 
December  14,  1850,  reorganized  under  title  of  Rochester,  Lockport,  and  Niagara  Falls  R.  R. ; 
and  the  line  from  Niagara  Falls  to  Rochester,  opened  July  1,  1852. 

The  Schenectady  and  Troy  Railroad,  chartered  1836,  opened  1842. 

The  Rochester  and  Lake  Ontario  Railroad,  organized  May  17,  1852,  opened  1853. 

The  Buffalo  and  Lockport  Railroad,  organized  April  24,  1852;  opened,  1854. 

The  Syracuse  and  Rochester  Direct  Kailroad,  organized  August  6,  1850,  and  opened 
1853. 

In  addition  to  the  above,  the  Syracuse  and  Utica  Direct,  and  the  Mohawk  Yalley  Rail- 
road Companies,  which  had  an  organization,  but  had  constructed  no  road,  were  consolidated 
into  the  New  York  Central. 

The  agreement  of  consolidation  was  entered  into  May  17,  1853,  and  the  consolidated  com- 
pany was  fully  organized  July  6,  1853,  and  took  possession  of  the  several  lines  August  1, 
1853. 

The  Buffalo  and  Niagara  Falls  Railroad,  chartered  1834  and  opened  1837,  was  leased  at 
the  date  of  consolidation,  and  in  1855  was  merged  with  the  New  York  Central. 

The  Niagara  Bridge  and  Canandaigua  Railroad,  organized  March  18,  1851,  under  name 
of  Canandaigua  and  Niagara  Falls  R.  R.,  and^opened  April  1,  1854,  was  leased  July  1, 1858, 
to  the  New  York  Central  R.  R.,  and  the  lease  was  continued  by  the  new  organization. 

The  Hudson  River  Railroad  Company  was  charcered  May  12,  1846,  and  opened  through 
its  entire  length  October  3,  1851.  Prior  to  its  consolidation  with  the  New  York  Central  R.  R. 
it  had  taken  a  lease  of  the  Troy  and  Greenbush  Railroad,  chartered  and  opened  1845,  which 
was  assumed  by  the  new  organization. 

Under  the  present  organization,  the  following  roads  have  been  leased : 
Junction  R.  R.  (Buffalo),  organized  April  20,  1870,  opened  and  leased,  1871. 
Spuyten  Duyvil  and  Port  Morris  R.  R.,  organized  March  4,  1869;  opened  and  leased,  1871.

RAILROAD  MANUAL  OF  THE  UNITED   STATES. 


The  increase  in  the  rate  of  dividends  for  1874-75  is  caused  by  the  change  in  time  of 
payments,  from  semi-annual  to  quarterly,  thus  bringing  three  quarterly  payments  into  that 
fiscal  year  in  addition  to  the  semi-arinnal  payment  in  October,  1874. 

The  operations  and  earnings  of  the  N".  Y.  and  Harlem  R.  R.  since  1873-74  are  included 
in  the  above  statement.  The  earnings  of  that  line  for  the  last  year  were  not  separately 
reported.

of  491.18  miles — are  not  included  in  the  statements  of  the  Chicago  and  Northwestern  Rail- 
way. The  length  and  cost  of  these  lines  for  the  year  ended  May  31,  1875,  were  as  follows : 

WINONA  AND  ST.  PETER  R.  R. — Winona  to  Lake  Kampeska,  327  miles.  Cost  of  con- 
struction, $10,471.467.85.

NORTHWESTERN  UNION  RAILWAY. — Milwaukee  to  Fond  du  Lac,  62.63  miles,  which  was 
completed  September  7,  1873.  Cost,  to  May  31,  1875,  $2,911,988.37. 

The  Madison  Extension  was  completed  September  14,  1873.  TheMenominee  Extension 
was  opened  for  business  December  31,  1872. 

The  Chicago,  Iowa  and  Nebraska,  and  the  Cedar  Rapids  and  Missouri  River  Railroads 
are  leased  lines.  The  annual  rental  of  the  Chicago,  Iowa  and  Nebraska  Railroad,  originally 
47£  per  cent,  of  gross  earnings,  has  been  reduced  to  37^  per  cent.,  this  reduced  rental  dating 
from  December  1,  1869.  The  rental  of  the  Cedar  Rapids  and  Missouri  River  Railroad  was 
$1,750  per  mile  to  January,  1871.  The  present  rental  is  $750  of  the  first  $1,500  of  gross 
earnings  per  mile,  33£  per  cent,  of  the  excess  over  $1,500  and  up  to  $4,500,  and  20  per  cent 
of  all  excess  over  and  above  $4,500. 

The  8  per  cent,  bonds  of  the  Iowa  Midland  Railway  are  guaranteed  to  the  extent  of 
$18,000  per  mile. 

The  length  of  lines  in  the  various  States  through  which  the  road  passes  is  as  follows  : 
Illinois,  489.60;  Wisconsin,  564.84;  Iowa,  435.31;  Michigan,  170.38;  Minnesota,  292.25; 
Dakota,  38.50  miles.  Total,  1,990.78  miles. 

The  reduction  in  length  of  line  as  compared  with  the  previous  year,  is  due  chiefly  to 
change  in  Chicago  Cut-off. 

This  company  was  incorporated  under  its  present  title  June  6,  1 859.  The  companies  now 
included  in  this  organization  are  the  Madison  and  Beloit  R.  R.  (chartered  August  19,  1848),

Line  of  Road. — Tullahoma,  Tenn.,  to  McMinnville,  Tenn 34  miles. 

This  road  was  purchased  by  the  Memphis  and  Charleston  Railroad  of  the  State  of  Ten- 
nessee, on  sale  for  the  non-payment  of  interest  on  the  bonds  of  the  State  issued  in  aid  of  the 
road.  The  sale  was  subsequently  declared  void  for  non-compliance  with  the  terms,  and  a 
new  sale  ordered.  The  receipts  and  operating  expenses  are  included  in  those  of  the  Mem- 
phis and  Charleston  Railroad. 

It  is  intended,  ultimately,  to  extend  the  road  to  the  Kentucky  State  Line,  in  the  direc- 
tion of  Burkesville,  Ky.,  with  a  view  to  a  connection  with  the  Cincinnati  Southern  Railroad. 
On  this  account  $81,063.76  have  already  been  expended,  and  it  is  estimated  that  the  total 
cost  of  the  extension  to  Sparta  will  be  $659,806;  and  to  the  Kentucky  State  Line,  $1,493,- 
000.  The  extension  of  the  road  is  prosecuted  in  behalf  of  the  Memphis  and  Charleston 
Railroad,  lessees.

The  Eastern  Railroad  in  New  Hampshire  is  a  distinct  corporation,  but  the  road  is 
operated  by  this  company,  which  pays  the  same  dividend  on  the  capital  stock  of  $492,000  as 
is  paid  on  the  stock  of  the  Eastern  Railroad  of  Mass. 

The  fiscal  year  of  the  corporation  ends  November  30,  and  the  following  statement  shows 
the  earnings,  and  expenditures,  and  financial  condition  of  the  company  to  that  date,  1875. 
Included  therein  are  all  the  branches  and  leased  lines  of  the  company.

Leaving  a  balance  of  $742,102.71,  as  compared  with  $1,078,922.24  of  the  previous 
year. 

The  report  of  the  company  for  the  year  ending  November  30,  1875,  shows  the  follow- 
ing payments  to  ieased  lines  to  that  date,  together  with  the  accrued  obligations:

Deducting  this  from  net  earnings,  leaves  $566,196.71  available  for  interest  and  dividends. 
The  interest  paid  to  December  1,  1875,  amounted  to  $956,230.47,  making  a  deficit  of  $390,- 
043.76  in  the  operations  of  the  year.  In  addition,  there  had  accrued  at  that  date  interest 
amounting  to  $248,260.40,  being  a  total  deficiency  of  $638,303.16. 

The  annual  report  gives  a  very  full  statement  of  the  company's  affairs,  from  which  it 
appears  that  the  interest  account  has  increased  in  the  ten  years  since  December  1,  1866, 
rom  $118,527.80  to  $956,230.47.  The  report  adds :  "  Had  the  accrued  interest  of  each  year

been  properly  charged,  as  had  been  the  previous  custom,  the  amounts  of  interest  from  1872 
to  1875  would  appear,  in  round  numbers,  as  follows: 

1872 $526,352  35  I  1874 $732,487  52 

1873 569,412  23  \  1875 955,556  58" 

The  increase  of  debt  during  the  last  year,  amounting  to  $2,287,394.95,  arose  chiefly 
from  the  settlement  of  claims  contracted  in  former  years. 

The  report  also  gives  a  statement  of  actual  and  estimated  losses  to  the  road  since  its 
opening,  a  summary  of  which  is  as  follows :

Under  a  supplemental  contract  with  the  P.  S.  and  P.  R.  R.,  the  rental  of  that  line  from 
July  1,  1875,  to  July  1,  1877,  is  reduced  from  10  to  6  per  cent,  per  annum. 

The  general  balance  of  November  30,  1875,  does  not  differ  essentially  from  that  of  Sep- 
tember 30  given  above. 

The  profit  and  loss  account  for  year  ending  November  30,  1S75,  shows  the  following 
items:  Taxes  in  Maine,  1874,  $22,938  ;  injuries,  $30,968.52  ;  discounts,  $393,644.21 ;  accrued 
interest,  $248,260.40;  unadjusted  claims,  $50,074.24;  various  losses,  claims,  etc.,  $113,- 
643.14 — total,  $859,528.51.  Less  balance  on  hand  December  1,  1874,  $252,327.41 — leaves 
deficit,  $607,201.10. 

The  increase  in  construction  account  for  the  year  amounted  to  $2,318,603.90;  of  which 
$872,683.96  was  on  account  of  railroad  stocks  and  property;  $340,512.51  discounts;  $976,- 
108.58,  land  and  mortgages  j  and  the  remainder  for  stations,  steel  rails,  etc.  The  annual 
charges  against  the  company  are  $1,131,946.70;  of  which  $140,916  are  guaranteed  divi- 
dends, and  the  remainder  interest  on  bonds,  notes,  and  mortgages. 

In  order  to  adjust  the  liabilities  of  the  company,  it  has  been  determined  to  secure  the 
necessary  legislation  to  enable  it  to  mortgage  all  its  property,  and,  under  that  mortgage,  to 
issue  as  many  bonds  as  may  be  necessary  to  cover  the  entire  debt,  bearing  interest  payable 
at  the  rate  of  3.5  per  cent,  per  annum  for  three  years ;  4.5  per  cent,  per  annum  for  the  next 
three  years,  and  thereafter,  6  per  cent,  per  annum ;  the  bonds  to  run  for  thirty  years  from 
September  1, 1876.  The  stockholders  to  elect  three  directors,  the  bondholders  three,  and  the 
trustees  three,  at  the  regular  annual  meetings.  The  bonds  to  be  of  $500  and  $1,000,  ;*nd 
£100  and  £200,  as  required,  and  payable,  principal  and  interest,  in  gold. 

The  first  actual  default  in  the  payment  of  interest  by  the  company  was  January  1,  1376, 
when  the  interest  on  the  bonds  of  the  Essex  Railroad  fell  due  and  were  unpaid.

and  portions  of  the  road  were  opened  for  travel  in  July,  1838.  By  Act  of  March  20,  1838, 
authority  was  "given  to  extend  the  road  to  Mount  Carbon  or  to  Pottsville,  one  mile  above 
Mount  Carbon.  As  these  two  points  were  already  connected  by  the  Mount  Carbon  Railroad, 
it  was  decided  to  extend  the  road  to  connect  therewith.  The  Mount  Carbon  Railroad,  May 
13,  1872,  was  merged  into  and  became  a  part  of  the  main  line  of  the  Philadelphia  and  Read- 
ing Railroad. 

The  first  through  trains  between  Philadelphia  and  Pottsville,  93  miles,  were  run  in  Jan- 
uary, 1842,  although  local  trains  were  run  in  1838. 

The  branch  from  the  Falls  of  the  Schuylkill  to  Port  Richmond,  from  which  the  ship- 
ments of  coal  are  made,  was  completed  in  1842  ;  since  then  nearly  54,000,000  tons  of  coal  have 
been  shipped  from  that  point,  principally  for  consumption  in  the  Eastern  and  Middle  States. 

In  1850  the  company  bought  improvements  extending  from  Broad  and  Vine  streets,  in 
Philadelphia,  to  and  including  the  inclined  plane  on  the  west  of  the  Schuylkill  and  the 
Columbia  Bridge  over  the  river. 

In  1858  the  Lebanon  Valley  Railroad,  54  miles  long,  extending  from  Reading  to  Har- 
risburg,  was  merged  into  the  main  line. 

Within  the  past  four  years  the  following  railroads  and  branches  have  been  merged  into 
the  company's  railroad  proper.  The  length  of  these  roads  is  given  in  the  tabular  statement 
annexed. 

Mahanoy  and  Shamokin  Railroad,  wholly  in  the  coal  region. 

Lebanon  and  Tremont  Railroad,  partially  in  Lebanon  and  Schuylkill  counties. 

Northern  Liberties  and  Penn  Township  Railroad  (commonly  called  the  Willow  Street 
Railroad),  from  Broad  street  to  the  Delaware  River,  Philadelphia. 

Port  Kennedy  Railroad,  Montgomery  County.

The  company,  on  the  1st  of  January,  1872,  leased  in  perpetuity  the  canal  of  the  Schuyl- 
kill  Navigation  Company,  extending  from  Port  Carbon  to  Philadelphia,  108  miles;  also  the 
Susquehanna  and  Tidewater  Canal,  extending  from  Columbia  to  Havre  de  Grace,  on  the 
Susquehanna  River. 

The  chief  business  of  the  Philadelphia  and  Reading  Railroad  Company  is  the  transporta- 
tion of  coal  from  the  first  and  second  anthracite  coal  fields  of  Pennsylvania  to  tidewater  in 
the  Delaware  River,  at  Port  Richmond,  Philadelphia.  At  this  eastern  .terminus  are  23 
wharves,  extending  from  300  to  800  feet  into  the  River  Delaware,  with  trestlework  and 
chutes,  allowing  a  direct  discharge  of  coal  from  the  cars  into  vessels.  To  accommodate  this 
immense  business  more  than  35  miles  of  track  are  distributed  on  the  wharves  of  their  immediate 
neighborhood.  The  main  line  of  the  road  winds  through  the  Schuylkill  Valley,  extending 
its  numerous  branches  east  and  west,  draining  completely  the  two  southern  coal  fields,  and 
making  them  tributaries  to  the  main  stem. 

At  Lebanon,  28  miles  west  of  Reading,  a  connection  is  made  with  the  Cornwall  Railroad, 
contributing  the  products  of  the  iron  ore  deposits  of  Cornwall  to  the  business  of  this  branch. 

The  Broad  Mountain,  dividing  the  two  coal  fields,  is  crossed  by  the  different  branches  at 
four  different  points,  three  of  which  lead  directly  into  the  Mahanoy  coal  field  and  one  into 
the  Wiconisco  basin.  The  ascent  from  the  southern  side  is  by  steep  but  practicable  gra- 
dients: but  the  descent  of  the  above  points  is  by  means  of  inclined  planes,  the  steepest  of 
which,  the  Mahanoy  plane,  has  a  gradient  of  22  feet  per  100,  and  is  f  mile  in  length.

The  Philadelphia  and  Reading  Coal  and  Iron  Company  now  owns  and  controls  about 
100,000  acres  of  anthracite  coal  lands.  The  tonnage  from  these  lands  last  year  was  3.032,191 
tons.  Of  this  amount  1,437,450  tons  were  mined  by  the  company,  and  1,594,740  by  tenants. 
A  strike  during  the  first  six  months  of  the  year  greatly  reduced  the  production  of  coal, 
545,514  tons  being  mined  in  that  time.,  against  2,486,676  in  the  last  six  months  of  the  year. 

The  following  table  shows  the  actual  coal  production  of  the  lands  during  the  several

RAILKOAD  MANUAL   OF   THE    UNITED  STATES. 


During  the  year  the  Perkiomen  railroad  was  completed,  and  opened  for  business  October 
11,  1875.  The  Reading  and  Lehigli  R.  R.  (formerly  Berks  County)  was  leased  at  a  rental 
equal  to  the  net  profits  of  operating  the  line,  and  8  per  cent,  on  cost  of  equipment.  The  sum 
of  $39,965.96  was  spent  by  lessees  in  construction,  and  is  to  be  deducted  from  the  earnings 
of  the  line.  The  Quarryville  line  was  also  completed  and  opened  for  business  May  12,  1875. 

Another  steam  collier  of  1,500  tons  was  added  during  the  year,  making  in  till  fourteen 
vessels.  The  following  table  shows  the  amount  of  business  done  during  the  year,  with  its 
results,  as  compared  with  previous  years.  The  item  of  $418,479.61,  of  expenses  for  1875, 
includes  a  charge  of  $73,525.46  for  insurance  fund,  which  is  now  in  credit  $lo2,426.13.

The  colliers  suffered  severely  from  the  strike — the  first  seven  months  showing  a  coal 
tonnage  of  but  91,101  tons,  and  a  net  loss  of  $33,750.16,  against  a  tonnage  of  254,043  tons, 
and  a  profit  of  $106,310.05  for  the  following  five  months. 

The  canals  of  the  company  suffered  equally  with  all  other  departments.  The  transpor- 
tation and  income  accounts  show  the  net  loss  of  the  Schuylkill  to  be  $125,716.45,  against 
$216,927.94  for  last  year,  and  the  loss  upon  the  Susquehanna  Canal  to  be  $172,270.09, 
against  $161,019.13  for  1874.  Included  in  the  expenses  of  the  Susquehatma  Canal  isa  charge 
of  $32,304.40  towards  the  cost  of  a  new  dam  over  the  Susquehauna  River  at  Columbia,  in 
place  of  that  destroyed  by  the  great  ice  freshet  of  last  spring.  This  will  be  finally  com- 
pleted during  the  current  year,  and  will  cost  in  the  neighborhood  of  $150,000. 

The  express  business  resulted  in  a  profit  of  $61,591.50,  against  $54,540.81  the  previous 
year.     All  additions  to  the  equipment,  amounting  to  $7,320.50,  have  been  charged  to  ex- 
penses :  the  equipment  account  not  having  been  increased,  and  amounting  now  to  $55,574.68. 
By  the  conversion  of  $3,000  of  the  6  per  cent,  mortgage  convertible  bonds  of  1886  the 
capital  stock  was  increased  to  that  extent,  making  the  total  share  capital  $34,277,575.28. 

There  has  been  charged  to  income  account  $214,650  for  the  sinking  fund  of  the  consoli- 
dated mortgage  loan,  and  $212,000  for  the  improvement  mortgage. 

For  the  sinking  fund  of  the  improvement  mortgage  212  bonds  were  drawn  on  the  1st  of 
October.  Up  to  the  close  of  the  fiscal  year  but  $98,000  bonds  so  drawn  were  presented  and 
paid ;  but  since  the  1st  of  December  $46,000  additional  had  been  presented. 

The  sinking  fund  of  the  mortgage  of  $30,000,000  upon  the  property  of  the  Philadelphia 
and  Reading  Coal  and  Iron  Company,  held  by  the  trustees  of  the  general  mortgage  of  the 
company,  supplied  more  than  sufficient  to  meet  the  sinking  fund  of  the  latter  mortgage,  viz., 
$100,000.  The  drawings  for  this  took  place  in  London  in  May,  and  of  the  $100,000  bonds 
then  drawn  for  payment  $61,000  had  been  presented  and  cancelled  before  the  end  of  the 
fiscal  year,  and  since  the  1st  of  December  $4,000  additional  have  been  paid  and  cancelled.  - 
The  total  amounts  heretofore "  charged  income  on  account  of  sinking  funds,  and  for 
which  no  increase  of  capital  has  been  made,  is  $1,197,647.45,  which  has  been  applied  or  is 
held  as  follows : 

Held  for  liquidation  of  loan  of  $134,400,  due  in  1877,  $166,070.45;  applied  to  purchase

of  bonds  of  loans  of  1870  and  1871,  before  maturity,  $10,800.00;  appplied  to  purchase,  of 
$517,000  consolidated  mortgage  bonds,  $535,685.05;  held  for  purchase  of  ditto,  $73,091.95; 
applied  to  payment  of  $343,000  improvement  mortgage  bonds,  $343,000;  held  for  payment 
of  ditto,  drawn  and  not  yet  presented.  $69,000. 

To  supply  the  necessary  funds  required  by  the  two  companies,  and  to  meet  engagements 
incurred  in  the  prosecution  of  their  works,  an  issue  of  $10,000,000  or  £2,000,000  sterling  of 
the  general  mortgage  bonds  was  made  in  London,  January  1st,  1876. 

The  details  in  regard  to  this  general  mortgage  of  $60,000,000  are  given  in  the  MANUAL 
of  1875-76.

Prior  to  1874  the  receipts  and  costs  per  passenger  were  calculated,  not  upon  the  actual 
number  of  passengers  carried  during  the  year,  but  upon  that  number  reduced  into  the  equiva- 
lent of  through  passengers  between  Philadelphia  and  Pottsville.  In  consequence  of  the  great 
number  of  merged  and  leased  lines  now  worked  by  the  company,  the  distance  between 
Philadelphia  and  Pottsville  no  longer  represents  the  length  of  tl.e  longest  passenger  route, 
and  hence  the  tables  are  now  based  upon  the  actual  number  of  passengers  carried. 

The  sums  paid  annually  for  rents  of  the  leased  roads  are  included  under  the  general 
head  of  rents.  These  amounted  in  1860-61  to  $53,759.53;  in  1861-62  to  $107,828.35;  in 
1862-63  to  $277,206.65;  in  1863-64  to  $627,658.89;  in  1864-65  to  $623,252.71:  in  1865- 
66  to  $615,337.15;  in  1866-67  to  $563,895  38  ;  in  1867-68  to  $550,852.51 ;  in  1868-69  to 
$609,179.73;  in  1869-70  to  $628,883.86;  in  1870-71  to  $859,796.39;  in  1871-72  to  $827,- 
413.89;  in  1872-73  to  $866,822.50;  in  1873-74  to  $918,800.76,  and  in  1874-75  to  $975,- 
637.65.  Including  the  amount  paid  for  lease  of  the  Schuylkill  and  Susquehanna  Canals, 
the  sum  total  for  leases  was,  1874-75,  $1,794,568.79.

NEW   YOKE,   BOSTON  AND   MONTREAL  EAILWAY. 

(In  Progress.) 


(Organized  January  21,  1873,  in  consolidation  of  roads  named  below.) 


Line  of  Bead.— High  Bridge,  N.  Y.,  to  Rutland,  Vt 244. 00  miles. 

Branches 106.00     " 

Total  length  of  main  line  and  branches  as  projected 350.00  miles. 

This  company  was  organized  by  the  consolidation  under  the  present  title  of  the  Dutchess 
and  Columbia,  the  New  York  and  Boston,  and  the  Harlem  Extension  Railroads,  of  which  the 
D.  and  C.  and  the  Harlem  Extension  were  already  in  operation.  It  was  proposed  to  bring  all 
the  lines,  completed  and  projected,  from  New  York  City  to  Rutland  under  one  company,  with 
various  branch  lines,  to  connect  with  the  Connecticut  Western,  the  Hoosac  Tunnel  Line,  and 
other  existing  roads.  Most  of  the  incompleted  portions  had  been  graded  when  the  financial 
troubles  put  an  end  to  the  project.  The  Dutchess  and  Columbia  R.  R.,  during  the  last  fiscal 
year,  was  operated  by  a  receiver,  and  is  separately  reported.  The  Harlem  Extension  R.  R. 
was  leased  to  the  Central  Vermont  R.  R.,  and  is  also  separately  reported.  No  other  portion 
of  the  projected  road  is  in  operation.  All  the  property  of  the  company  is  in  the  hands  of  a 
receiver,  and  will  probably  be  sold  under  foreclosure  during  the  present  year.  No  state- 
ment of  its  financial  condition  is  given  at  the  close  of  the  last  fiscal  year.  The  latest  is  that 
given  in  the  MANUAL  of  1875-76,  as  follows: 

Financial  Statement  (Consolidated  Company),  September  30,  1874.  —  Capital  stock

On  the  first  of  April,  1875,  $2,671,000  construction  bonds,  which  matured,  were  paid 
and  cancelled,  leaving  only  $64,000  outstanding  at  close  of  the  year. 

£520,000  sterling  of  redemption  bonds  were  paid  on  the  1st  of  April,  1875,  and  a  new 
loan  for  £500,000  at  six  per  cent,  was  issued  in  their  stead. 

The  company  have  12,000  tons  of  steel  rails  purchased  at  low  rates,  and  have  ordered 
500  freight  cars.  To  meet  these  outlays,  £200,000  sterling  5  per  cent,  bonds  have  been  sold. 

The  benefit  of  the  Southern  Line  has  proved,  the  past  year,  about  equal  to  the  interest 
charge  which  the  company  has  incurred  in  promoting  its  construction.  The  directors  are 
negotiating  for  measures  which  will  put  this  line  in  good  working  order  from  Cairo  to  New 
Orleans. 

The  debt  of  the  company  January  1,  1876,  was  $9,765.000;  the  share  capital, 
$29^000,000.  On  the  31st  of  December,  1875,  the  company  owned  3  01, 63  6-^0  acres  of 
land  and  held  $686,035.80  land  notes. 

582-,a0a0-  miles  of  track  have  been  relaid  within  six  years.  56,826  tons  of  steel  and  iron

An  Act  of  Congress,  approved  September  20,  1850,  granted  to  the  State  of  Illinois  six 
sections  of  land  per  mile  of  road  in  aid  of  the  construction  of  a  railroad  from  Cairo  to  Chicago 
and  Dunleith.  This  grant  was  transferred  by  the  State  to  the  Illinois  Central  Company,  in 
consideration  of  which,  and  in  lieu  of  all  other  taxes,  the  company  agreed  to  pay  to  the  State 
an  amount  equal  to  7  per  cent,  of  the  gross  earnings  from  freight  and  passengers  moved  over 
their  lines.  The  extent  of  the  land  grant  was  about  2,595,000  acres.  Of  this  2,000,000  acres 
were  set  apart  for  construction,  250,000  acres  to  pay  interest  on  bonds,  and  345,000  acres 
were  left  free  of  encumbrance. 

There  remained  on  hand  and  unsold  January  1,  187G,  301,636.40  acres.

*  Including  contingent  liabilities. 

This  abstract  includes  for  the  years  1873,  1874  and  1875  the  statements  of  the  Bur- 
lington and  Missouri  River  R.  R.,  consolidated  with  the  C.  B.  and  Q.  in  1873. 

The  capital  stock  of  the  C.  B.  and  Q.  R.  R.  Co.  was  increased  during  the  year  from 
$19,898,910  to  $25,100,110  (or  $5,201,210)  by  the  exchange  share  for  share  for  stock  of  the 
Burlington  and  Missouri  River  R.  R.,  leaving  still  outstanding  of  the  stock  of  the  latter  com- 
pany $2,412,732.51.  The  legal  consolidation  of  the  two  companies  took  place  July  1,  1875, 
but  for  purposes  connected  with  the  land  grant  the  organization  of  the  B.  and  M.  R.  R.  R. 
Co.  is  still  maintained. 

This  company  aided  in  the  construction  of  33  miles  of  the  Albia,  Knoxville  and  Des 
Moines  R.  R.  from  Albia  to  Knoxville  (which  is  now  operated  as  a  branch  under  perpetual 
lease),  by  taking  from  that  company  $462,000  1st  mortgage  8  per  cent,  bonds,  of  date  May 
14,  1875,  and  secured  at  the  rate  of  $14.000  per  mile  of  road,  at  85  per  cent.  These  bonds 
were  pledged  to  secure  $462,000  plain  bonds  of  the  C.  B.  and  Q.  R.  R.  Co.,  having  20  years 
to  run,  bearing  5  per  cent,  interest,  and  negotiated  at  86.41  per  cent.  The  difference  in 
interest  is  converted  into  a  sinking  fund  which  will  be  sufficient  to  retire  the  bonds  at  matur- 
ity. A  preliminary  contract  was  also  made  with  the  Quincy,  Alton  and  St.  Louis  Railway 
Co.  for  a  perpetual  lease  of  that  road,  46  miles  in  length,  with  a  branch  to  Hannibal. 

The  funded  debt  of  the  B.  and  M.  R.  portion  of  the  road  was  reduced  during  the  year 
$756.800  by  the  redemption  of  $34,800  land  grant  bonds  and  the  conversion  of  $722,000 
into  stock,  leaving  the  total  funded  debt  of  that  portion  at  the  close  of  the  year  86,017.350 — 
making  the  combined  funded  debt,  inclusive  of  $5,877,000  of  contingent  liabilities  on  bonds 
of  branch  roads,  $27,539,575.  The  construction  account  has  been  increased  during  the  year 
$894,886.10.

The  expenditures  on  construction  account  during  the  year  amounted  to  $514,477,  of 
!  which  $44,481.85  was  for  new  equipment;  $60,203.59  for  additional  side  tracks;  $124,514 
I  additional  cost  of  steel  rails;  and  the  remainder  for  new  rails,  buildings,  machinery,  etc

The  reduction  in  rates  is  partly  due  to  competition  on  through  business,  and  partly  to  the 
Iowa  railroad  law.  At  the  same  rates  as  for  1870-71  the  gross  earnings  for  the  last  year 
would  have  been,  for  passengers,  $2,104,481.74 — an  increase  of  $427,124.82;  and  for  freight, 
$5,537,940.69;  a  gain  of  $245,528.45.

previous  year,  the  decrease  of  net  earnings  has  been  $680,682.44,  showing  a  reduction  in 
working  expenses  of  $499,094.14.  No  reports  are  made  of  passenger  or  freight  mileage,  so 
that  it  is  impossible  to  give  the  earnings  or  expenses  per  passenger  or  per  ton  per  mile.

chased June  17,  1875,  for  $1,000,000,  payable  in  instalments  of  $40,000  yearly,  with  interest 
semi-aunually  on  the  unpaid  balance.  The  total  amount  advanced  to  this  company  by  the 
B.  and  O.  R.  R.  Co.  is  $5,700,104.17.  Since  the  close  of  the  fiscal  year  au  issue  of  £1,300,-

MICHIGAN  CENTRAL   RAILROAD. 


Line  of  Road. —Detroit,  Mich.,  to  Chicago,  111 284.0  miles.

Total  length  of  lines  owned,  leased  and  operated 803.7  miles.

The  Michigan  Central  Railroad  was  originally  undertaken  by  the  State,  under  an  act  of 
the  Legislature  in  1837,  and  Commissioners  were  appointed  for  the  purpose  of  constructing  it. 


384 


RAILROAD  MANUAL  OF   THE  UNITED   STATES. 


Previously  to  this,  by  act  of  Juno  29,  1832,  the  Detroit  and  St.  Joseph  Railroad  Company  was 
incorporated,  and  the  Commissioners  were  authorized  to  purchase  this  road.  The  capital 
stock  of  the  company  was  fixed  at  $2,200,000.  Appropriations  for  its  construction  were 
made  from  time  to  ti<ue  in  1838,  1839,  1843  and  1844.  Finally,  in  1846,  further  expenditures 
were  prohibited  and  a  company  was  chartered  under  the  present  title,  which  was  authorized 
to  purchase  the  road  and  franchises.  The  purchase  was  made  and  the  line  was  completed 
in  1852.  By  acts  of  1848  and  1855  the  company  was  authorized  to  aid  other  companies  and 
enter  into,  business  contracts  with  them. 

Under  these  acts,  the  leased  lines  have  been  more  or  less  aided,  and  in  some  cases  almost 
entirely  built  by  this  company. 

The  road  connects  with  the  Illinois  Central  R.  R.  at  Kensington,  14  miles  from  Chicago 
and  uses  that  portion  of  the  line  jointly  with  that  company.

The  Air  Line  Road,  so-called,  from  Jackson  to  Niles,  103.6  miles,  was  mainly  built  by 
this  company,  and  is  operated  under  lease  on  condition  of  payment  of  interest  on  the  con- 
struction bonds  and  of  principal  when  due.  It  is  operated  as  an  essential  part  of  the  com- 
pany's main  line,  being  equivalent  to  a  double  track  for  that  distance. 

The  rent  paid  for  the  Kalamazoo  and  South  Haven  R.  R.  is  the  interest  on  its  bonds ; 
for  Grand  River  Valley  R.  R.,  interest  on  its  bonds  and  5  per  cent,  on  $492,000  capital 
stock:  for  Jackson,  Lansing  and  Saginaw  R.  R.,  interest  on  its  bonds,  and.  after  1874, 
$70,000.  This  latter  company  own  a  land  grant  of  some  600,000  acres,  one  third  of  which 
lias  become  the  property  of  the  M.  C.  R.  R.  Co.  by  virtue  of  ownership  of  one  third  of  the 
stock  of  that  company.  It  is  intended  to  extend  their  line  to  the  Straits  of  Mackinac.  In 
order  to  establish  a  connection  between  this  line  and  the  City  of  Detroit,  the  Detroit  and 
Bay  City  Railroad  was  undertaken,  of  which  the  M.  C.  R.  R.  Co.  own  two  thirds  of  the 
capital  stock,  guarantee  $274,000  bonds,  and  control,  operate  and  manage  the  road. 

At  the  close  of  the  fiscal  year  there  were  to  the  credit  of  the  first  sinking  fund  $1,301,- 
877.91,  and  of  the  second,  $414,841.66. 

The  Treasurer's  report,  which  gives  the  actual  receipts  and  payments  of  the  company 
during  the  year,  contains  a  summary  of  the  operations  of  the  road  as  follows:

The  Penobscot  bonds  are  a  first  lien  on  the  road  from  Bangor  to  Milford,  a  distance  of 
about  14  miles.  The  City  of  Bangor  bonds  are  a  second  lien  on  the  road  from  Bangor  to  Mil- 
ford,  and  a  first  mortgage  on  the  road  from  Milford  to  Winn,  a  distance  of  about  31  miles. 
The  company  bonds  ($2,000,000)  are  a  third  mortgage  on  the  line  from  Bangor  to  Milford;  a 
second  mortgage  on  the  road  from  Milford  to  Winn;  and  a  first  mortgage  on  the  road  from 
Winn  to  the  boundary,  a  distance  of  about  69  miles.  The  last  bonds  are  further  secured  by 
certain  wild  lands  granted  by  the  State  to  the  company.  The  New  Brunswick  (or  Western 
extension)  bonds  are  a  first  lien  on  the  88  miles  of  line  in  that  Province. 

The  European  and  North  American  Railway  Co.  acquired  title  to  its  road  bed,  rights  of 
way,  etc.,  etc.,  from  Bangor  to  Milford,  a  distance  of  about  14  miles,  by  purchase  of  the 
1st  mortgage  bonds  of  the  Penobscot  R.  R.  Co.  The  latter  occupied  the  route  adopted  by 
the  former,  and,  to  secure  rights  of  way  and  work  done  by  the  Penobscot  R.  R.  Co.,  valued 
at  $450,000,  the  European  and  N.  A.  Railway  Co.  were  authorized,  by  an  act  of  the  Legis- 
lature of  Maine,  to  purchase  and  hold  the  Penobscot  bonds,  which  were  a  first  lien  on  the 
rights  of  way  and  road  bed,  as  a  "  basis  "  of  its  title  to  the  same.  In  accordance  with  said 


RAILROAD  MANUAL  OF   THE  UNITED  STATES.  401 

authority,  the  European  and  North  American  Railway  Co.  purchased  and  hold  about  $201,000 
of  the  Penobscot  bonds  for  the  purpose  aforesaid,  leaving  about  $99,000  still  outstanding, 
and  on  which  no  interest,  it  is  believed,  has  been  paid.  The  amount  of  interest  due,  conse- 
quently, equals  the  principal  sums. 

The  Company  defaulted  on  the  payment  of  interest  on  its  bonds  at  various  dates  from 
July  1,  1875.  A  plan  of  readjustment  of  its  affairs  has  been  proposed,  in  such  way  as  to 
extend  for  six  years  the  payment  of  the  principal  items  of  floating  debt,  and  to  fund  for  six 
years  one  half  the  interest  on  the  funded  debt  in  certificates  of  indebtedness,  payable  in 
seven  years  with  semi-annual  interest.

Land  Department.— The  Congressional  land  grants  (Acts  July  1,  1862,  July  2,  186 
and  March  3,  1869).  between  Kansas  City  and  Denver,  amount  to  over  6,000,000  acres,  of 
which  442,880.35  were  certified  to  the  company  up  to  June  30,  1875.     These  lands  were 
opened  for  sale  January  1,  1868,  and  since  that  date  to  close  of  1873  the  records  show  that 
883,363  acres  have  been  disposed  of  for  $2,403,528.91 — an  average  of  $2.72  per  acre 


RAILROAD   MANUAL   OF   THE  UNITED  STATES. 


429 


These  lands  are  sold  for  cash,  or  part  cash  and  part  notes,  the  latter  bearing  interest  at  6  per 
cent,  and  payable  in  one  to  five  years. 

One  half  of  the  company's  lands  (3,000,000  acres,)  lying  between  the  350th  mile  post 
and  Denver,  are  included  in  the  mortgage  for  $0,500,000,  dated  June  20,  1869,  known  as  the 
"  Denver  Extension  Mortgage/'  The  lands  under  this  mortgage  were  first  offered  for  sale 
January  1,  1871,  and  from  proceeds  of  land  sales  trustees  of  this  mortgage  have  purchased 
and  cancelled  $89,000  of  bonds. 

All  the  lands  lying  east  of  380th  mile  post  unsold  July  1,  1870  (not  less  than  2,000,000 
acres),  are  covered  by  the  mortgage  of  that  date  for  $2,000,000.  All  proceeds  of  sales  of 
lands  thereunder  go  into  hands  of  trustees  for  purchase  and  redemption  of  bonds.  Trustees 
have  purchased  and  cancelled  $277,750  of  bonds  from  proceeds  of  sales.  The  fifteen  year 
land  grant  mortgage  of  August  23,  1871,  is  a  second  mortgage  on  all  the  lands  lying  east  of 
380th  mile  post  unsold  at  that  date  (not  less  than  2,000,000  acres),  and  proceeds  of  all  sales 
of  laud  thereunder  will  be  held  by  trustees  for  purchase  and  redemption  of  bonds  after  satis- 
faction of  mortgage  of  July  1,  1870. 

The  annual  interest  on  the  bonds  issued  under  the  mortgages  of  July  1,  1870,  and 
August  23,  1871,  is  paid  by  the  railway  company,  and  is  not  allowed  to  come  from  proceeds 
oi  land  sales.  Receipts  from  land  sales  go  to  trustees,  to  provide  for  principal  of  bonds. 

No  later  report  than  the  above  is  furnished  in  regard  to  the  land  department.  During 
the  year  1875  $92,250  of  the  land  grant  bonds  were  retired.

This  road  was  formed  by  the  consolidation  of  roads  belonging  to  the  Houston  and  Great 
Northern  and  the  International  Railroad  Companies,  September  27,  1873.  The  line  from 
Houston  to  Palestine,  with  the  branches,  255.25  miles,  constitute  what,  prior  to  consolidation, 
was  the  H.  and  G.  N.  R.  R.,  and  the  line  from  Longview  to  Rockdale,  in  all  204  miles,  the 
International  R.  R.  It  is  intended  to  extend  the  latter  line  to  the  Mexican  border.  The 
branch  from  Houston  to  Columbia  constitutes  the  old  Houston  Tap  and  Brazoria  Railroad, 
which  was  purchased  during  the  year  by  the  H.  and  Gr.  N.  R.  R.  Co.,  and  consolidated  there- 
with under  Act  of  the  Legislature  of  May  8,  1873.  The  line  to  Mineola  was  completed  April, 
1874,  and  to  Rockdale  in  January,  1874.

The  company  failed  to  obtain  from  Texas  the  State  bonds  which,  by  the  charter  of  the 
International  R.  R.  Co.,  were  granted  to  aid  the  road,  but  obtained  a  grant  of  12,800  acres  of 
land  for  each  mile  of  road  constructed  under  that  charter,  with  the  right  to  locate  said  lands 
without  being  compelled  to  locate  alternate  sections  for  the  State,  and  with  an  exemption 
from  all  taxes  for  the  period  of  25  years. 

In  order  to  complete  the  road  to  the  city  of  Austin,  a  distance  of  about  60  miles,  the 
directors  in  1875  proposed  the  funding  of  four  coupons  on  the  plan  stated  in  the  MANUAL  for 
1  1875-76.  A  majority  of  the  bondholders  accepted  the  proposition.  The  construction  toward 
Austin  is  under  way,  and  it  is  intended  to  complete  40  miles  during  the  year.

The  Northern  Central  Railway  Company,  as  at  present  organized,  was  chartered  by 
Acts  of  the  Legislatures  of  Maryland  and  Pennsylvania,  passed  respectively  March  1 0  and 
May  3,  1854.  These  Acts  took  effect  January  1,  1855.  The  road,  under  these  Acts,  is 
made  up  of  the  consolidation  of  various  lines,  as  follows : 

The  Baltimore  and  Susquehanna  R.  R.  Company  was  chartered  February  13,  1828,  to 
build  a  railroad  from  Baltimore  to  the  Pennsylvania  line,  25  miles.  This  road  was  completed 
early  in  1838. 

The  York  and  Maryland  Line  Co.  was  chartered  March  14,  1832,  and  the  road  from 
York  to  a  connection  with  the  B.  and  S.  R.  R.,  22  miles,  was  completed  August,  1838. 

The  York  and  Cumberland  R.  R.  Co.  was  chartered  April  21,  1846,  and  was  opened 
from  York  to  Bridgeport,  opposite  Harrisburg,  25  miles,  February,  1851. 

The  last  two  roads  were  operated  by  the  B.  and  S.  R.  R.  Co.  until  the  organization  of 
the  Northern  Central. 

The  Susquehanna  Railroad,  from  Harrisburg  to  Sunbury,  was  chartered  April  14,  1851, 
but  was  riot  completed  until  after  the  N.  C.  Ry.  Co.  was  chartered,  into  which  it  was  ab- 
sorbed, and  was  opened  to  Sunbury,  50  miles,  August  1,  1858.  At  Sunbury  connection  is 
made  with  the  Philadelphia  and  Erie  R.  R.,  over  whose  line  this  company  operates  to  "Wil- 
liamsport,  40  miles.  Here,  also,  the  Shamokin  Valley  and  Pottsville  R.  R.  branches.  At 
Williamsport  connection  is  made  with  the  Elmira  and  Williamsport  R.  R.,  and  through  that 
with  the  other  leased  lines.

The  Elizabeth  and  Somerville  Railroad  Company  was  chartered  February  9,  1831,  and 
authorized  to  construct  a  railroad  from  Elizabethport  to  Somerville,  25  miles.  This  road 
was  completed  March.  1839.  The  Somerville  and  Easton  R.  R.  Company  was  chartered 
February  26.  1847,  to  construct  a  road  from  Somerville  to  Easton,  39  miles,  and  to  purchase 
the  Elizabeth  and  Somerville  R.  R.  already  in  operation.  About  10  miles  of  the  S.  and  E. 
R.  R.  were  constructed  when  the  two  companies  were  consolidated,  and  the  title  changed  as 
above.  The  road  was  completed  from  Elizabeth  to  Phillipsburg  July  2,  1852.  In  1856  a 
third  rail  was  laid  to  accommodate  the  broad  gauge  cars  of  the  Delaware,  Lackawanna  and

business  of  that  company  withdrawn. 

In  1864  the  company's  line  was  extended  from  Elizabath  to  Jersey  City,  the  line  of  the 
New  Jersey  R.  K.  and  Transportation  Company  between  those  points  having  been  used  prior 
to  that  time.  In  1872  a  branch  was  opened  from  Elizabeth  to  Newark,  at  which  point  it 
joins  the  Newark  and  New  York  Railroad,  opened  August  1,  1869,  and  built  and  owned  by 
the  Central  R.  R  Company.  The  New  York  and  Long  Branch  R.  R.  from  Elizabeth 
Girt,  37  miles,  was  opened  September  7,  1875,  and  was  also  built  by  this  company. 

The  South  Branch  Railroad  from  Somerville  to  Flernington.  16  miles,  was  opened  July 
1.  1864,  and  has.  since  that  date,  been  leased  and  operated  by  this  company.

The  first  charter  granted  for  a  road  comprising  any  portion  of  the  present  line  of  this 
company  was  by  the  Territorial  Legislature  of  Michigan  for  the  Erie  and  Kalamazoo  Rail- 
road, April  22,  1833.  This  was  leased  May  25,  1849.  to  the  Michigan  Southern  Railroad — 
chartered  May  9,  1846. 

The  Northern  Indiana  R.  R.  Co.  was  originally  chartered  in  Indiana  as  the  Buffalo  and 
Mississippi  R.  R.,  February  6,  1835,  and  the  name  changed  February  6,  1837.  It  was  char- 
tered in  Ohio,  March  3,  1851,  and  the  two  companies  consolidated  July  8,  1853.  The  North- 
ern Indiana  and  Chicago  R.  R.  Co.  was  chartered  in  Illinois  November  30,  1850,  and  con- 
solidated with  the  Northern  Indiana  R.  R.  Co.,  taking  its  name  February  7,  1855.  These 
two  lines  were  consolidated  under  the  name  of  Michigan  Southern  and  Northern  Indiana 
R.  R.,  April  25,  1855. 

The  Erie  and  Northeast  R.  R.  Co.  was  chartered  in  Pennsylvania,  April  12,  1842,  and  the 
Buffalo  and  State  Line  R.  R.  Co.  in  New  York,  April  12,  1848,  and  organized  October  13, 
1849.  They  were  consolidated  under  the  name  of  the  Buffalo  and  Erie  R.  R.  Co.,  June  28, 
1867. 

The  Junction  R.  R.  Co.  was  chartered  in  Ohio,  March  2,  1846,  and  the  Toledo,  STorwalk 
and  Cleveland  R.  R.  Co.,  March  7,  1850.  They  were  consolidated  as  the  Cleveland  and 
Toledo,  R.  R,  Co.,  September  1,  1853. 

The  Cleveland,  Painesville  and  Ashtabula  R.  R.  Co.  was  chartered  in  Ohio,  February  18,

RAILROAD  MANUAL  OF  THE  UNITED  STATES. 


1848,  and  leased  the  Cleveland  and  Toledo  R.  R.  October  8,1867,  and  the  name  was  changed 
to  the  Lake  Shore  R.  R.  June  22,  1868.  The  Cleveland  and  Toledo  R.  R.  was  consolidated 
with  it  under  name  of  Lake  Shore,  April  6,  1869. 

The  present  Lake  Shore  and  Michigan  Southern  Railway  was  formed  by  the  consolida- 
tion, May  27,  1869,  of  the  Lake  Shore  and  the  Michigan  Southern  and  Northern  Indiana 
R.  Rs.,  and  August  16,  1869,  of  the  Buffalo  and  Erie  Railroad — thus  bringing  the  entire  line, 
from  Buffalo  to  Chicago,  under  one  name. 

The  mileage  as  here  given  is  less  than  by  the  statement  of  1873  by  5.36  miles,  caused  by 
a  reduction  of  2.5  miles  in  the  distance  from  Toledo  to  Detroit,  and  2.86  miles  on  the  line

Of  the  bonds  of  the  C.  P.  and  A.  R.  R.  that  fell  due  July  1,  1874,  $10,000  were  still  out- 
standing, December  31,  1875,  not  having  been  presented  for  payment 

A  part  of  the  issue  of  1st  mortgage  bonds  are  registered,  interest  payable  quarterly,  on 
the  1st  days  of  January,  April,  July  and  October. 

The  1st  general  consolidated  mortgage  provides  for  a  sinking  fund  of  $250.000  a  year, 
which  has  been  paid  for  five  years,  leaving  now  outstanding  of  those  bonds  $23.750,000, 
including  the  bonds  of  the  various  divisions  which,  at  maturity,  are  to  be  merged  in  this  debt. 
Of  the  2d  general  mortgage  $12.500,000,  are  outstanding.  In  regard  to  the  general  opera- 
tions of  the  company  the  report  says : 

"The  two  items,  'Discount  on  Bonds,'  and  'Interest  on  Floating  Debt,"  which  have 
appeared  in  each  preceding  annual  report,  and  have  absorbed  so  much  money,  are  not  there ; 
they  have  disappeared,  never  to  return,  it  is  hoped. 

"  The  sale  of  bonds  and  increase  of  debt  came  to  a  full  stop  in  1874.     No  increase  in  the 


470  RAILROAD  MANUAL   OF  THE  UNITED  STATES. 

aggregate  funded  debt  has  been  made  since  the  floating  debt  was  extinguished ;  not  only  so, 
but  a  movement  has  been  made  in  the  opposite  direction,  by  providing  for  the  sinking  fund' 
thus  reducing  the  funded  debt. 

"After  paying  every  charge  Pgainst  the  year  1875,  including  (by  anticipation)  the  divi- 
dend payable  February  1,  1876,  and  satisfying  the  sinking  fund,  there  remained  in  the  treas- 
ury a  very  considerable  balance,  applicable  to  the  future.  This  is  the  first  time  that  this 
result  has  been  attained. 

"  The  fixed  charges  against  net  earnings,  which  take  precedence  of  dividends  upon  the 
capital  stock,  will  be,  in  1876,  as  follows: 

Interest  on  L.  S.  &  M.  S.  K'y  debt,  $36,250,000  at  7  per  cent $2,537,500 

Interest  on  D.  M.  &  T.  "  924,000  at  7        "        64,680 

Interest  on  K.  &  W.  P.  "  600,000  at  7  and  8  per  cent 441,000 

Dividend  on  Guaranteed  Stock,  $533,500,  at  10  per  cent 53,350 

Kental  four  branch  roads— partly  estimated 275,000 


$2,974,530 
Less  Interest  and  Dividends  on  Assets 225,000 


Total $2,749,530 

Equal  to  $229,000  per  month."

These  trusts  represent  the  several  divisions  of  the  road — the  first  two  of  20  miles  each, 
the  next  two  of  ten  miles  each,  and  the  fifth  of  about  6|  miles.  The  proceeds,  including  the 
interest  on  notes,  fines,  and  profit  and  loss,  are  applied  to  the  payment  of  interest  on  the  land 
bonds  issued  by  the  company  and  the  final  extinction  of  the  principal  thereof.  As  additional 
lands  accrue,  by  the  progress  of  the  road,  they  will  be  disposed  of  in  the  same  manner,  and 
the  proceeds  applied  to  the  same  purposes.

The  Pennsylvania  Railroad,  as  at  present  operated,  is  made  up  by  the  consolidation  of 
several  lines  between  Philadelphia  and  Pittsburgh. 

In  1826  the  Scate  of  Pennsylvania,  in  its  corporate  capacity,  undertook  the  construction 
of  various  canals  and  railroads,  with  a  view  of  connecting  Philadelphia  and  Pittsburgh  by  a 
continuous  line.  To  this  end  the  Columbia  and  Philadelphia  Railroad,  81  miles,  was  built  at 
a  cost  of  §4,204,969.96,  and  the  Allegheny  Portage  Railroad,  41  miles,  at  a  cost  of  $1,828,- 
461.35.  These  isolated  railroads  were  connected  by  the  Eastern  and  the  Juniata  divisions  of 
the  canal,  respectively  46  and  12 7  "miles  in  length  and  costing  $1,736,599.42  and  $3,521,- 
412.21.  The  Portage  Railroad  was  connected  with  Pittsburgh  by  the  Western  division  of  the 
canal,  104  miles  long,  and  costing  $3,069,877.38 — making  a  total  length  of  122  miles  of 
railroad  and  277  miles  of  canal— in  all,  399  miles— constructed  at  a  cost  of  $14,361,320.32.

RAILROAD   MANUAL   OF   THE  UNITED  STATES. 


These  works  were  principally  brought  into  use  in  1830,  though  the  railroads  were  not  com- 
pleted until  1833-34. 

Prior  to  this,  a  charter  for  a  railroad,  to  be  called  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad,  had  been 
granted  in  1823,  but  nothing  was  ever  done  under  this  charter,  which  lapsed  in  due  time. 
The  Portsmouth  and  Lancaster  Railroad  Company  was  chartered  June  9,  1832,  and  the  II  ar- 
risburg,  Portsmouth,  Mount  Joy  and  Lancaster  K.  R.  Co.,  March  13,  1838.  On  the  llth  of 
June,  1840,  the  Harrisburg  and  Pittsburgh  R.  R.  Company  was  chartered. 

The  only  one  of  these  companies  that  actually  constructed  a  railroad  was  the  Harrisburg, 
Portsmouth,  Mount  Joy  and  Lancaster,  which  was  opened  in  September,  1838.  Its  comple- 
tion made  a  continuous  line  of  railroad  from  Philadelphia  to  Harrisburg. 

The  charter  of  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad  Compamr,  granted  April  13,  1846,  authorized 
the  construction  of  a  railroad  from  Harrisburg  to  Pittsburgh,  with  branches  to  various  points. 
Construction  was  commenced  at  Harrisburg,  July,  1847,  and  the  road  opened  to  Hollidays- 
burg,  where  it  connected  with  the  Portage  R.  R.,  September  16,  1850.  The  Western  division, 
from  Johnstown  to  Pittsburgh,  was  completed  December  10,  1852.  Subsequently  the  portion 
from  Altoona  to  the  Portage  viaduct  was  built  and  opened  February  15,  1.854,  thus  complet- 
ing the  line  of  the  Pennsylvania  R.  R.  proper  as  now  operated  between  Philadelphia  and 
Pittsburgh. 

On  the  16th  of  May,  1857,  the  main  line  of  public  works  constructed  and  owned  by  the 
State  was  sold  to  the  Pennsylvania  R.  R.  Company  for  $7,500,000  in  bonds  of  the  company, 
bearing  5  per  cent,  interest  annually,  and  payable  $100,000  yearly  until  July  31,  1890,  and 
after  that  date  $1,000,000  annually  until  paid.

There  had  been  laid  during  the  year  on  the  Main  Line  6,895  tons  of  steel  rails,  more 
than  sufficient  to  double  track  the  entire  line.  Up  to  the  1st  of  January,  1876,  there  had 
been  laid  in  the  main  tracks  of  Main  Line  83,215  tons,  or  790  miles  of  steel  rails;  in  main 
tracks  of  branch  roads  1,584  tons,  and  in  third  and  fourth  tracks  and  sidings  on  the  Main 
Line  and  Branches  6,887  tons.  There  were  also  placed  during  the  year  on  the  New  Jersey 
lines  4,372  tons,  and  on  the  Philadelphia  and  Erie  R.  R.  4,173  tons,  being  a  total  of  93,336 
tons  of  steel  rails  now  in  use. 

The  expenditures  for  construction  and  equipment  on  the  Main  Line  between  Pittsburgh 
and  New  York  in  1873,  were  $10,906,155;  in  1874,  $3,430,498.33,  and  in  1875,  $3,265,- 
565.57. 

The  amount  estimated  as  needful  for  construction  and  equipment  purposes  in  1876  to 
complete  works  in  progress,  including  new  passenger  station  in  Philadelphia,  is  $3.500,000. 

Just  before  the  close  of  the  year,  the  old  Navy  Yard  property  in  Philadelphia,  contain- 
ing about  23  acres,  admirably  located  and  prepared  for  the  present  and  future  wants  of  the 
company,  was  purchased  by  Messrs.  Drexel  &  Co.,  and  their  associates,  from  the  Government 
for  $1,000,000  cash,  and  resold  to  this  company  for  $1,000,000  of  its  bonds,  secured  by  pur- 
chase-money mortgage  on  the  property,  payable  in  5  years,  bearing  6  per  cent,  currency 
interest,  which  they  received  at  95  per  cent.  The  difference  of  $50,000  was  paid  in  cash, 
so  that  the  property  stands  on  the  books  of  the  company  at  a  cost  of  $1,000,000.  In  con- 
nection with  the  other  real  estate  owned  on  the  Schuylkill  and  Delaware  rivers,  it  will  give 
the  company  the  means  of  providing  for  its  traffic  for  many  years  to  come. 

The  company's  lines  have  been  extended  from  York,  Penns}rlvania,  to  Frederick,  Mary-

land,  under  a  lease  of  the  Frederick  and  Pennsylvania  line,  Hanover  and  York  and  Littles- 
town  Railroads,  covering  fifty-four  miles  of  roadway.  This  line  the  company  works  at  cost, 
and  compensation  for  tbe  use  of  its  equipment. 

The  results  of  the  operations  of  the  Pennsylvania  Canal  Company  for  the  year  were : 
Gross  earnings,  $444,669,09:  operating  expenses,  $240,637.22;  net  earnings,  $204,031.87— 
an  increase  of  net  earnings  over  the  previous  year  of  $56,286.67.  This  company  has  paid 
off  all  its  floating  debt. 

The  following  statements  show  the  result  of  the  operation  of  the  coal  companies  for  year 
ending  December  31,  1875.  Arrangements  have  been  made  to  create  a  fund  of  25  cents 
per  ton  mined,  which  will  be  charged  currently  to  expenses,  and  applied  to  the  reduction  of 
the  cost  of  the  several  coal  properties.  Where  that  cost  is  represented  by  bonds  this  fund 
will  be  applied  to  their  purchase  and  cancellation. 

The  Susquehanna  Coal  Company  produced,  in  1875,  381,774  tons.  Its  gross  receipts 
were  $1,478,820.91 ;  expenses,  $1,299,614.95 — net  earnings,  $179,205.96,  being  a  decrease 
of  $206,682.78  as  compared  with  1874,  caused  by  the  almost  entire  suspension  of  production 
of  anthracite  coal  during  the  first  seven  months  of  the  year. 

The  Summit  Branch  and  Lykens  Y alley  Companies  produced,  for  the  13  months  ending 
December  31,  1875,  530,994  tons.  The  gross  earnings  of  the  Summit  Branch  Eailroad 
Company  for  the  same  period  were  $1,467,529.60;  expenses,  $968,687. 84^-net  earnings, 
$498, 841. 7K,  being  an  increase  of  $231,887.87,  as  compared  with  1874.  The  gross  earnings 
of  the  Lykens  Yalley  Company  for  the  same  period  were  $703,547.35  ;  expenses,  $996.845.06; 
deficit,  $293,297.71,  being  an  increase  of  $10,752.42,  as  compared  with  1874 

The  Mineral  Railroad  and  Mining  Company  produced,  for  the  13  months  ending,  Decem- 
ber 31, 1875,  477,233  tons.  Its  gross  earnings  were  $1,086,359.92  ;  expenses,  $924,324.84 — 
net  earnings.  $162,035.08,  being  an  increase  of  $89,540.76,  as  compared  with  1874.  The 
aggregate  results  from  the  several  Anthracite  Coal  Companies  were  as  follows:  Total  pro- 
duction, 1874-75  (13  months),  1,390,001  tons;  total  production,  1873-74  (12  months). 
1,328.934  tons;  aggregate  net  earnings,  1875,  $546,785.09;  aggregate  net  earnings,  1874, 
$670,757.71. 

At  the  close  of  the  year  a  reorganization  of  the  several  coal  companies  was  effected, 
under  which  it  is  believed  the  properties  will  be  made  more  profitable. 

The  anthracite  coal  for  eastern  markets  over  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad  is  shipped  at 
Greenwich  Point.  It  is  proposed  to  enlarge  the  wharfage  facilities  at  that  point  during  the 
present  year,  to  meet  the  increased  business  from  the  coal  regions  reached  by  the  company's 
lines  and  their  connecting  roads. 

The  lines  owned  or  controlled  west  of  Pittsburgh  are  all  operated  by  the  Pennsylvania 
Company,  under  the  same  arrangement  as  heretofore.  Under  this  the  liabilities  of  the  Penn- 
sylvania R.  R.  Co.  west  of  Pittsburgh  are  all  met  and  provided  for  out  of  the  earnings  and 
revenues  of  the  lines  west  of  that  point ;  and  the  revenues  of  the  leased  roads  showing  a 
surplus  are  used  to  meet  such  deficiencies  as  may  occur  upon  any  of  the  other  lines  under 
its  control.

RAILROAD  MANUAL   OF   THE   UNITED   STATES. 


The  total  earnings  of  all  the  lines  operated  by  the  Pennsylvania  Company,  or  controlled 
through  that  organization  in  the  interest  of  the  Pennsylvania  R.  R.  Company  for  1875,  were 
$23.632,701.53;  expenses,  $15,479,679.65 — leaving  net  earnings  of  $3,153,081.88.  Deduct 
rentals,  interest,  dividends  and  liabilities  of  every  kind  chargeable  thereto,  $7,473,789.95. 
Net  profit  in  1875  on  lines  west  of  Pittsburgh,  £679,291.93.  The  entire  outlay  for  construc- 
tion and  equipment  on  all  the  lines  west  of  Pittsburgh  for  1875  was.  $376,486.48. 

In  regard  to  the  relations  of  the  Pennsylvania  R.  R.  Co.  with  some  of  the  leased  lines  the 
report  states  as  follows  : 

"In  the  rentals  of  "Western  lines,  as  above  stated,  are  included  the  net  earnings  from  the 
Columbus,  Chicago  and  Indiana  Central  Railway  during  the  year.  It  is  believed  by  the  Pitts- 
burgh, Cincinnati  and  St.  Louis  Railway  Company,  that  by  reason  of  the  failure  of  the 
Columbus,  Chicago  and  Indiana  Central  Railway  Company  to  perform  its  covenants  under 
the  lease  of  its  road  to  the  former  company,  the  lease  itself  has  been  practically  terminated, 
and  notice  has  been  given  and  proceedings  instituted  by  the  Pittsburgh.  Cincinnati  and  St. 
Louis  Company  in  accordance  therewith.  It  is  hoped  that  the  litigation  relating  to  this  sub- 
ject will  be  terminated  during  this  year,  and  that  upon  its  conclusion,  the  two  companies 
referred  to  will  arrive  at  some  adjustment  for  the  future  operations  of  the  lines  belonging  to 
the  Columbus,  Chicago  and  Indiana  Central  Company,  west  of  Columbus,  on  a  basis  that  will 
be  equitable  and  fair  to  all  interests,  and  give  the  owners  of  the  property  every  possible  earn- 
ing and  advantage  that  can  be  derived  from  it  in  the  future.  In  connection  with  this  sub- 
ject, and  to  correct  any  misapprehension  that  may  exist,  it  is  but  proper  to  state  that  no 
endorsement  of  any  bond  of  the  Columbus,  Chicago  and  Indiana  Central  Railway  Company 
was  ever  made  or  authorized  to  be  made  by  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad  Company. 

"  Several  committees  representing  the  bondholding  interest  of  that  company  have  had 
interviews  with  the  officers  of  your  company  during  the  past  year,  with  the  view  of  per- 
fecting a  basis  under  which  the  property  of  the  Columbus,  Chicago  and  Indiana  Central  Com- 
pany could  be  put  in  a  reorganized  form,  that  would  relieve  it  from  many  of  its  old  complica- 
tions and  preserve  its  representation  in  a  decreased  amount  of  bonds  and  an  increased 
amount  of  stock,  but  as  yet  no  definite  plan  has  been  decided  upon.  It  is  hoped  one  may  be 
reached  during  the  present  year."

The  interest  due  during  the  year  on  the  funded  debt  of  this  company  was  not  paid, 
and  suit  therefor  has  been  commenced  against  the  Pennsylvania  R.  R.  Company  on  the 
ground  that  the  interest  was  guaranteed  by  that  company  arid  is  still  pending.  In  regard  to 
this  the  report  of  that  company  says  :  "  It  is  believed  by  the  Pittsburgh,  Cincinnati  and  St. 
Louis  Railway  Company  that  by  reason  of  the  failure  of  the  Columbus,  Chicago  and  Indiana 
Central  Railway  Company  to  perform  its  covenants  under  the  lease  of  its  road  to  the  former 
company,  the  lease  itself  has  been  practically  terminated,  and  notice  has  been  given  and 
proceedings  instituted  by  the  Pittsburgh,  Cincinnati  and  St.  Louis  Company  in  accordance 
therewith.  It  is  hoped  that  the  litigation  relating  to  this  subject  will  be  terminated  during 
this  year,  and  that,  upon  its  conclusion,  the  two  companies  referred  to  will  arrive  at  some 
adjustment  for  the  future  operation  of  the  lines  belonging  to  the  Columbus,  Chicago  and 
Indiana  Central  Company,  west  of  Columbus,  on  a  basis  that  will  be  equitable  and  fair  to  all 
interests,  and  give  the  owners  of  the  property  every  possible  earning  and  advantage  that  can 
be  derived  from  it  in  the  future.  In  connection  with  this  subject,  and  to  correct  any  misap- 
prehension that  may  exist,  it  is  but  proper  to  state  that  no  endorsement  of  any  bond  of  the 
Columbus,  Chicago  and  Indiana  Central  Railway  Company  was  ever  made  or  authorized  to  be 
made  by  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad  Company. 

"  Several  committees,  representing  the  bondholding  interest  of  that  company,  have  had 
interviews  with  the  officers  of  your  company  during  the  past  year,  with  the  view  of  perfect- 
ing a  basis  under  which  the  property  of  the  Columbus,  Chicago  and  Indiana  Central  Com-

pany  could  be  put  in  a  reorganized  form,  that  would  relieve  it  from  many  of  its  old  complica- 
tions, and  preserve  its  representation  in  a  decreased  amount  of  bonds  and  an  increased 
amount  of  stock ;  but  as  yet,  no  definite  plan  has  been  decided  upon.  It  is  hoped  one  may 
be  reached  during  the  present  year." 

The  grounds  on  which  it  is  alleged  the  liability  exists  are  stated  in  the  report  of  the 
Pennsylvania  Railroad  Company,  issued  February  16,  1869,  in  which  the  president  says-' 
"  This  (connection  with  the  West)  has  been  done  to  a  great  extent  through  a  recent  lease  to 
the  Pittsburg,  Cincinnati  and  Columbus  Railway  Co.,  guaranteed  by  this  company,  of  the 
Columbus,  Chicago  and  Indiana  Central  Railway  Co."  In  the  lease  itself,  executed  on  the 
22d  of  January,  1869,  is  the  following:  "And  the  party  of  the  third  part  (the  Pennsylvania 
R.  R.  Co.)  does  hereby  guarantee  to  the  party  of  the  first  part  (the  C.,  C.  and  I.  C.  R'y  Co.) 
that  the  party  of  the  second  part  (the  P.,  C.  and  St.  L.  R'y  Co.)  will  in  good  faith  do,  keep 
and  perform  all  and  singular  the  matters  and  things  which  the  said  party  of  the  second  part 
have  hereinbefore  covenanted  and  agreed  to  do."  Article  VI  of  the  lease  provides  that  70 
per  cent  of  the  gross  earnings  shall  go  to  the  lessee,  and  Article  VII  that  the  balance,  after 
deducting  taxes,  shall  be  applied  to  the  payment  of  the  interest,  at  the  rate  of  7  per  cent., 
on  all  mortgage  bonds,  to  the  extent  of  $20,000,000;  and  if  30  per  cent,  is  not  sufficient, 
"tbey  will,  at  their  own  cost  and  expense,  pay  the  amount  required  to  pay  said  interest  as 
the  same  shall  become  due  and  payable."

The  New  York  and  Erie  Railroad  Company  was  chartered  by  the  Legislature  of  New 
York,  April  24,  1832.  By  the  charter,  the  line  of  road  was  to  be  wholly  within  the  State  of 
New  York.  The  construction  of  the  road  was  commenced  in  1836,  and  in  September,  1841, 
the  section  from  Piermont  to  Goshen  was  opened.  The  State,  in  1836,  had  agreed  to  loan 
it  credit  to  the  amount  of  $3,000,000,  to  aid  in  building  the  road,  and  up  to  February,  1844, 
$4,736,949  had  been  spent  in  construction,  of  which  $2,599,514  was  the  proceeds  of  the 
State  loan.  On  the  14th  of  May,  1845,  the  State  agreed  to  release  its  claim  upon  the  road, 
provided  the  line  should  be  completed  in  six  years.  After  various  dela}rs  and  embarrassments 
the  road  was  opened  from  the  Hudson  River  to  the  Lake.  April  22,  1851.  The  charter  had 
been  so  modified  that  the  road  was  allowed  to  pass  through  a  small  part  of  Pennsylvania  on 
payment  of  $10,000  per  year. 

In  order  to  establish  direct  connection  with  New  York  City,  the  Union,  Paterson  arid 
Ramapo  and  Paterson  and  Hudson  Railroads  were  built,  and  leased  in  perpetuit}7'  to  the  com- 
pany. They  are  reckoned  as  an  integral  part  of  the  main  line  of  road,  and  the  portion  from 
Sufferns  to  Piermont  is  treated  as  a  branch. 

In  1859  this  road  was  placed  in  the  hands  of  a  Receiver,  on  account  of  default  on  the 
interest  of  its  bonds,  and  in  1861  was  reorganized  under  the  name  of  the  Erie  Railway 

Company.

gage  bonds,  which  bears  7£  interest  in  gold;  and  the  issues  of  1865,  1870,  1873  and  1874, 
which  are  payable  in  gold. 

On  the  26th  of  May,  1875,  the  road  was  placed  in  the  hands  of  a  Receiver  by  the  direc- 
tion of  the  Supreme  Court  of  New  York,  and  on  the  1st  of  June  made  default  on  the  interest 
then  falling  due.  To  secure  a  reorganization  of  the  company,  in  case  of  foreclosure,  a 
scheme  was  presented  to  the  English  stock  and  bond  holders  substantially  as  follows:  The 
old  issues  of  bonds,  including  the  five  original  mortgages  and  that  of  the  Buffalo  Branch, 
amounting  to  $13,338,100,  yearly  interest  on  which  would  average  $934,346  in  currency,  to 
remain  undisturbed.  The  convertible  sterling  loan  and  the  first  consolidated  mortgage  bonds, 
aggregating  $1.6,656,000,  together  with  a  year's  overdue  interest,  $1,114,623,  making  a  tota 
of  $17,770,623  to  be  consolidated,  and  to  bear  6  per  cent,  interest  for  four  years,  and  after 
1880,  7  per  cent.  For  the  convertible  gold  bonds  and  second  consolidated  7  per  cents, 
amounting  to  $24,400,000,  but  which  had  realized  to  the  company  much  less  than  their  par 
value,  it  is  proposed  to  substitute  two  classes  of  bonds,  the  first  (being  60  per  cent,  of  all 
bearing  6  per  cent,  interest,  payment  on  which  is  to  commence  in  March,  1877 ;  and  on  the 
second  (being  the  remaining  40  per  cent.)  to  bear  4  per  cent,  interest  when  the  earnings  shal 
warrant  it,  until  1381,  and  afterwards  5  per  cent.  This  would  reduce  the  average  interest 
charge  from  $1,708,000  to  $878,400.  The  interest  on  the  preferred  stock  to  be  reduced  to 
6  per  cent.,  and  an  assessment  of  $3  per  share  to  be  called  in ;  while  the  ordinary  stock  is  to 
be  assessed  $5  per  share,  the  holders  to  receive  5  per  cent,  third  mortgage  income  bonds  foi 
the  amount  of  their  assessment. 

This  plan  provides  the  company  with  new  capital  by  the  assessment  on  stockholders 
amounting  to 

$3  per  share  on  preferred  stock $256,10*; 

$6  per  share  on  common  stock 4,680,001

FLORIDA  KAILEOAD. 


Line  of  Road. — Fernandina  to  Cedar  Keys,  Fla 155  miles. 

The  road  was  constructed  previous  to  the  rebellion  of  1861,  with  the  view  of  opening  a 
more  direct  and  convenient  line  for  the  travel  and  commerce  between  the  Atlantic  ports  and 
New  Orleans. 

To  aid  in  its  construction  the  company  issued  $1,540,000  bonds  at  the  rate  of  $10,000 
per  mile,  secured  by  a  mortgage  on  the  road  and  upon  certain  swamp  lands  granted  by  the 
United  States  Government  to  the  State  of  Florida.  The  company  also  issued  bonds  to  the 


RAILROAD  MANUAL  OF   THE  UNITED  STATES.  609 

same  amount,  called  free  land  bonds,  secured  by  a  mortgage  on  certain  lands  donated  to  the 
company.  Failing  to  pay  interest  on  the  first  bonds,  the  road  and  lands  secured  by  the 
mortgage  were  sold  for  the  sum  of  $320,000,  and  a  new  company  organized  with  a  capital 
of  $3,000,000. 

The  object  of  the  road  was  to  open  a  new  and  more  direct  route  between  the  Atlantic 
and  Gulf  States ;  but  the  civil  war  breaking  out  on  the  eve  of  its  completion,  it  was  not 
brought  into  operation  until  after  the  conclusion  of  hostilities.  For  a  time  it  was  run  in  con- 
nection with  a  line  of  steamers  between  the  Atlantic  ports  and  Fernandina,  and  Cedar  Keys 
and  the  Gulf  ports.  It  is  believed  that  this  through  route  has  been  abandoned.  One  train, 
appears  to  be  run  each  way  daily  over  the  road. 

The  road  is  supposed  to  be  owned  by  M.  0.  Roberts  and  others,  New  York  City,  and  is 
operated  under  the  name  of  the  Atlantic,  Gulf  and  West  India  Transfer  Co.'s  Railroad.  All 
information  as  to  the  road  and  its  operations  has  been  refused  on  the  ground  that  the  road  is 
DOW  a  private  enterprise  in  which  the  public  has  no  concern.  The  earnings  are  estimated  at 
$1,000  per  mile  and  the  expenses  at  an  equal  sum. 

The  following  is  believed  to  be  a  correct  statement  of  the  officers  of  the  road : 

Directors.— Edward  N.  Dickerson  and  E.  H.  Roberts,  New  York  City;  David  L.  Yulee

NEW  ORLEANS  AND  MOBILE  RAILROAD. 


Line  of  Road. — New  Orleans,  La.,  to  Mobile,  Ala. 141  miles. 

This  road  is  a  part  of  what  was  originally  the  New  Orleans,  Mobile  and  Texas  Railroad, 
and  was  chartered  in  Alabama,  November  24,  1866;  in  Mississippi,  February  7,  1867;  in 
Louisiana,  August  19, 1869  ;  and  in  Texas,  January  19, 1869.  An  Act  of  Congress,  approved 
March,  1868,  empowers  the  company  to  build  and  maintain  bridges  over  and  across  the  navi- 
gable waters  of  the  United  States  upon  the  line  of  their  road,  and  declares  said  road  and 
bridges  a  post  road. 

The  lines  of  road  which  it  was  originally  proposed  to  construct  are  as  follows :  Mobile, 
Ala.,  to  New  Orleans,  La.,  140;  New  Orleans,  La.,  to  Sabine  River  (Texas  line),  227  :  Sabine 
River  (La.  line),  to  Houston,  Texas,  108 — 475  miles.  With  branches  in  Yermillionville,  La., 
to  Shreveport,  La.,  195  ;  Yermillionville  to  Brashear  City,  65  miles.  Total  length  of  track,  as 
projected,  735  miles. 

The  road  fell  into  difficulties,  and  the  different  portions  of  it  have  been  separately  or- 
ganized. 

The  State  of  Louisiana,  in  aid  of  the  part  of  the  road  within  its  boundaries,  made  an 
absolute  donation  of  $3,000,000  in  8  per  cent,  bonds,  subscribed  to  the  company's  stock  to 
the  extent  of  $2,500,000  in  like  bonds,  and  endorsed  the  company's  2d  mortgage  bonds  to 
the  extent  of  $12,500,000  per  mile  of  road  upon  the  main  line  in  the  State  of  Louisiana.  The 
city  of  New  Orleans  granted  to  the  company  the  perpetual  use  of  depot  grounds  in  said  city, 
worth  about  $1,000,000;  and,  by  special  laws,  the  States  of  Alabama  and  Mississippi  have 
exempted  the  company  from  all  taxes,  of  whatever  kind  or  nature,  in  tnose  States,  except  a 
tax  of  3  per  cent,  on  all  dividends  paid  to  stockholders. 

The  line  from  New  Orleans  to  Mobile  is  in  operation,  but  no  report  of  its  doings  could  be 
obtained. 

The  company  having  made  default  in  the  payment  of  the  interest  on  its  1st  mortgage 
bonds,  proceedings  for  foreclosure  have  been  had,  and  the  road  and  all  the  property  of  the 
company  was  placed  in  the  hands  of  the  Trustees. 

No  account  of  the  financial  condition  of  the  company  could  be  obtained.

The  joint  use  of  the  line,  from  Hastings  to  Kearney,  is  by  lease  from  the  Burlington 
and  Missouri  River  Railroad  in  Nebraska. 

This  road  was  originally  chartered  by  the  Legislature  of  Kansas,  February  17,  1857,  by 
the  name  of  the  Marysville  and  Palmetto  and  Roseport  Railroad,  with  authority  to  build  a 
road  from  either  of  the  first  named  places  to  a  connection  with  the  Hannibal  and  St.  Joseph 
Railroad,  at  or  near  Roseport.  The  corporate  name  was  changed  to  the  present  title  April 
17,  1862.  The  authority  for  constructing  a  road  from  the  Nebraska  State  Line  to  Fort 
Kearney  was  obtained  under  the  general  railroad  law  of  Nebraska  on  the  llth  of  August, 
1866.  The  Northern  Kansas  Railroad  Company  was  consolidated  with  this  company,  and 
the  right  to  lands  granted  by  Act  of  Congress  July  23,  1866,  thereby  obtained.  The  capital 
stock  was  also  increased  to  $10,000,000.  Subscriptions  were  made  by  municipal  corpora- 
tions amounting  to  $1,025,000,  and  by  individuals  to  the  amount  of  $1,400.  On  these  sub- 
scriptions work  was  commenced,  and  80  miles  of  road  put  in  operation  by  October,  1870,  at 
a  cost  of  about  $1,500,000.  In  October,  1871,  128  miles  were  in  operation,  and  the  next 
year  it  was  opened  to  Hastings,  its  present  terminus. 

The  total  amount  expended  in  building  the  road  was  $5,449,620.77,  of  which  $1,400 
was  from  stockholders;  $782,727.10  from  State  and  municipal  aid;  and  the  remainder, 
$4,665,493.67,  as  the  proceeds  of  $6,755,900  mortgage  bonds.  The  road  and  property  was 
placed  in  the  hands  of  a  Receiver  in  1874,  and  has  since  been  operated  by  him  under  the 
orders  of  the  Court.

All  later  information  refused. 

The  earnings  of  this  road  have  been  insufficient  to  pay  interest  on  its  funded  debt  for 
several  years  past.  Past  due  coupons  of  the  company  to  the  amount  of  $102,664.50  have 
been  purchased  by  the  Central  Railroad  and  Banking  Company  of  Georgia,  within  the  fiscal 
year.  The  latter  company  has  also  paid  off  and  holds  1st  mortgage  bonds  of  the  Mobile  and 
Girard  R.  R.  Co ,  amounting  to  $810,000.  The  total  indebtedness  of  this  company  to  the 
C.  R.  R.  and  B.  Co.  (including  advances  and  coupons,  etc.,  heretofore  purchased)  is  $344,- 
647.50. 

The  $110,000  bonds  owned  by  the  Central  R.  R.  and  Banking  Co.  of  Ga.  are  still  re- 
ported in  the  balance  sheet  of  the  Mobile  and  Girard  R.  R.  Co. ;  hence  it  makes  no  increase 
in  the  liabilities  of  the  latter.

and  St.  Johnsbury  and  the  Essex  County  Railroads.  The  construction  was  commenced  in 
1871,  and  in  1875  an  issue  of  consolidated  bonds  was  made,  covering  the  whole  line,  the 
road  being  operated  as  if  it  belonged  to  a  single  corporation,  by  means  of  an  executive  com- 
mittee chosen  from  members  of  the  various  organizations,  who  constitute,  in  fact,  directors  of

Since  that  time  various  negotiations  have  been  made  for  consolidation  with  the  Maine  Divi- 
sion, and  an  issue  of  bonds  by  the  consolidated  company  to  an  amount  sufficient  to  retire  the 
outstanding  bonds.  The  mortgage  was  made  and  executed,  and  the  sale  of  the  bonds 
authorized.  The  amount  sold  proving  insufficient  to  complete  the  road  as  expected,  the 
directors  have  laid  before  the  bondholders  a  scheme  for  the  issue  of  preference  bonds  to  the 
amount  of  $500,000  to  furnish  funds  for  the  completion  of  the  road.  These  bonds  to  bear

No  annual  report  of  the  operations  of  the  road  has  been  published.  The  following  ' 
statements  are  taken  from  the  report  of  the  trustees  and  managers  made  to  the  stock  and  j 
bondholders  in  Boston,  October  2,  1872  ;  and  from  the  report  of  the  Commissioner  of  Rail-  ! 
roads  to  the  Legislature,  October  3,  1874,  covering  a  period  of  two  years: 

The  affairs  of  the  Central  Yermont  Railroad  are  conducted  by  a  board  of  trustees  and 
managers  appointed  by  the  Chancery  Court  of  Yermont.  This  road  had  leased  the  Yermont 
and  Canada  Railroad,  but  failing  to  pay  rent,  the  two  roads,  in  1859,  were  brought  into  court. 
The  overdue  rents  to  the  Canada  and  Yermont  R.  R.  were  ordered  capitalized,  making  the 
capital  stock  of  the  Yermont  Central  Company  $2,000,000.  The  overdue  coupons  were 
funded,  and  the  1st  mortgage  increased  to  $3,000,000.  The  stock  of  the  Yermont  and  Can- 
ada R.  R.  was  increased  $250,000,  and  trustees  and  managers  appointed. 

In  1865  authority  was  given  to  issue  $2,000,000  of  equipment  bonds.  In  1867  the 
capital  stock  of  the  Yermont  and  Canada  R.  R.  was  further  increased  $250,000,  and  $500,

000  of  notes  of  the  managers,  to  pay  coupons,  were  issued,  and  authority  given  to  borrow 
$300,000.  In  1869  a  further  loan  of  $500,000  was  authorized.  In  1871  $500,000  additional 
stock  of  Vermont  and  Canada  R.  R.  was  authorized.  The  amount  of  all  these  securities  is:

The  interest  on  this  debt  amounts  to  $725,000  per  year.  Of  the  bonded  debt  $3,750,000 
has  accrued  under  the  trust.  There  is  also  the  1st  mortgage  on  the  Missisquoi  R.  R., 
amounting  to  $500,000,  guaranteed  by  the  Central  Vermont,  making  the  sum  annually 
chargeable  as  interest,  $760,000. 

The  Harlem  Extension  Railroad  was  leased  to  the  Central  Vermont  Railroad  on  the  1st 
day  of  December,  1873,  but  the  operations  of  the  road  are  not  included  in  this  report 

The  reorganization  and  change  of  title  of  this  company  were  effected  under  the  pro-

UNION  PACIFIC  RAILROAD. 


Line  of  Road. — Omaha,  Neb.,  to  Ogdcn,  Utah  (Junction  C.  P.  R.  R.) 1,038  miles. 

Sidings,  etc.,  103  miles.     Gauge,  4  feet  8£  inches.     Rail,  56  Ibs. 

The  Acts  of  Congress  (approved  July  1,  1862,  and  July  2,  1864)  incorporating  this  com- 
pany provided  for  a  Government  subsidy  equal  to  $16,000  per  mile  for  that  portion  of  the 
line  between  the  Missouri  River  and  the  base  of  the  Rocky  Mountains ;  $48,000  per  mile  for 
a  distance  of  150  miles  through  the  mountain  range;  $32,000  per  mile  for  the  distance  inter- 
mediate between  the  Rocky  and  the  Sierra  Nevada  ranges;  and  $48,000  per  mile  for  a  dis- 
tance of  150  miles  through  the  Sierra  Nevada.  The  company  has  also  a  land  graut  calling 
for  12,800  acres  to  the  mile.  The  original  Act  provided  that  the  Government  subsidy  should 
be  a  1st  mortgage  on  the  road;  but  by  a  subsequent  amendment  it  was  made  a  2d  mortgage 
— the  company  being  authorized  to  issue  its  own  bonds  to  an  amount  equal  to  the  Govern- 
ment as  a  first  mortgage  on  the  line.  The  original  Act  provided  that  the  charge  for  Govern- 
ment transportation  should  be  credited  to  it  in  liquidation  of  its  bonds ;  and  that,  in  addition, 
after  the  road  should  be  completed,  5  per  cent,  of  the  net  earnings  should  also  be  applied  to 
the  same  purpose.  The  Act  was  subsequently  modified  so  as  to  allow  the  company  to  retain 
one  half  of  the  charge  of  transportation  on  Government  service  as  the  cost  of  the  same,  and 
also  relieves  the  company  from  paying  the  5  per  cent,  of  net  earnings. 

A  claim  having  been  made  by  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  of  the  United  States  that 
the  company  were  bound  to  pay  the  interest  on  the  bonds  issued  by  the  Government  to  aid  in. 
the  construction  of  the  road,  and  that  the  whole  charge  for  Government  transportation  was- 
to  be  held  to  be  applied  to  such  interest,  Congress,  by  an  amendment  to  the  Army  Appropri- 
ation Bill,  which  passed  March  3,  1871,  provided,  sectiou  9,  "that  in  accordance  with  the 
fifth  section  of  the  Act  approved  July  second,  eighteen  hundred  and  sixty-four,  entitled,'  An- 
Act  to  amend  an  Act  entitled  an  Act  to  aid  in  the  construction  of  a  railroad  and  telegraph- 
line  from  the  Missouri  Ri-ver  to  the  Pacific  Ocean,  and  to  secure  to  the  Government  the  use 
of  the  same  for  postal,  military  and  other  purposes,'  approved  July  first,  eighteen;  hundred, 
and  sixty-two,  tHe  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  is  hereby  directed  to  pay  over  in.  money  to  the  • 
Pacific  Railroad  Companies  '  mentioned  in  said  Act,  aud  performing  services  for  the  United 
States,  one  half  of  the  compensation,  at  the  rate  provided  by  law  for  such  services  heretofore 
or  hereafter  to  be  rendered ;  provided  that  this  sectiou  shall  not  be  construed  to  affect  the  • 
legal  rights  of  the  Government  or  the  obligations  of  the  companies,  except  as  herein  specially 
provided.'  " 

In  the  final  trial  of  this  question  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States  decided  .that  the 
interest  paid  by  the  Government  on  the  Government  bonds  is  to  be  paid  by  the  company  at 
the  tune  and  in  the  manner  of  the  principal  of  the  bonds,  leaving  half  the  Government  trans-  - 
portation  to  be  paid  to  the  company.  By  this  decision  there  was  due  to  the  company,  at  the 
close  of  the  last  fiscal  year,  $1,095,547.02  from  the  Government.  The  company  have  pro- 
posed to  pay  a  certain  sum  annually  to  the  Government,  as  a  sinking  fund,  and  probably 
such  an  arrangement  will  be  arrived  at. 

The  construction  of  the  road  was  commenced  in  December,  1863;  but  no  considerable- 
amount  of  graduation  was  done  till  the  commencement  of  1865.  In  .that  year  over  100  miles 
were  graded  and  bridged,  and  rails  laid  upon  40  miles.  In  1866,  265  miles  of  road  were  com- 
pleted; 1867,  245  miles;  in  1868,  350  miles.  The  road  was  completed  to  a  junction  with 
the  Central  Pacific  of  California  on  the  10th  of  May,  1869,  when  a  continuous  line  across 
the  continent  was  formed.

Omaha  Bridge.— To  connect  the  Union  Pacific  Railroad  with  the  Iowa  lines,  the 
company  constructed  a  bridge  from  Omaha  to  Council  Bluffs.  The  bridge  is  of  11  spans  of 
250  feet  each,  50  feet  above  high  water,  resting  on  one  stone  abutment  and  11  iron  piers,  sunk 
from  60  to  72  feet,  and  all  resting  on  solid  rock.  The  west  approach  to  the  bridge  is  7,000 
feet  long ;  the  east  approach,  one  mile  and  a  half  long,  rising  from  the  table  land  in  Council 
Bluffs  to  the  level  of  the  bridge  at  a  grade  of  35  feet  to  the  mile — the  eastern  approach  re- 
quiring 468,000  cubic  yards  of  filling.  It  is  constructed  for  a  common  highway  on  the  same 
level  with  the  track  of  the  railroad.  For  this  work  the  company  issued  in  1871  sterling  bonds 
of  $1,000  or  £200  each,  bearing  8  per  cent,  interest  in  gold,  payable  semi-annually  in  April 
and  October,  and  running  20  years.  These  bonds  are  payable  with  10  per  cent,  premium 
(say  $1,000  gold,  or  £200  each  bond)  by  an  annual  sinking  fund  of  $242,000  gold,  the  bal- 
ance of  which,  after  paying  interest  on  outstanding  bonds,  is  to  be  used  in  the  annual  re- 
demption of  drawn  bonds,  together  with  10  per  cent,  interest  thereon. 

The  number  of  bonds  to  be  annually  redeemed  increases  gradually  from  $38,000  in  1872 
to  $194,000  in  1896,  which  will  liquidate  the  loan.  The  loan  is  especially  secured  by  a  pledge 
of  the  bridge,  its  approaches,  appurtenances,  etc.  The  total  cost  of  the  bridge  to  June  30, 
1875,  was  $2,866,463.72. 

In  October,  1875,  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States  decided  that  the  Omaha  bridge, 
was  an  integral  part  of  the  road,  and  that  the  eastern  terminus  was  in  Iowa  and  not  Nebraska.

UTICA,  ITHACA  AND  ELMIKA  EAILROAD. 


(Consolidation  of  the  Ithaca  and  Cortland,  and  the  Utica,  Horseheads  and  Elmira  railroads. 
Opened  for  traffic  from  Cortland  to  Ithaca  in  1872,  and  throughout,  in  December,  1875.) 

Line  of  Road.— Cortland  (D.  L.  and  "W.  Junction),  N.  Y.,  to  Elmira,  N.  Y...  .72  miles. 
Sidings  and  other  tracks,  7  miles.  Gauge,  4  feet  8£  inches.  Rail  (iron  and  steel),  56  to  60  Ibs. 

The  object  of  this  road  was  to  supply  a  direct  northeastern  outlet  for  the  bituminous 
coal  of  the  Blossburg  Mines,  to  its  most  important  markets  in  Central  and  Eastern  Xew  York. 

This  coal  is  now  reached  at  Corning,  on  the  Erie,  where  it  is  delivered  by  the  Corning. 
Cowanesque  and  Antrim  Railroad,  the  tonnage  of  which  has  reached  as  high  as  1,000,000  of 
tous  in  one  year.  The  greater  part  of  this  coal  will,  after  July  of  the  present  year,  be 
delivered  at  Elmira  directly  to  the  Utica,  Ithaca  and  Elmira  R.  R.,  by  completion  of  the 
Elmira  State  Line  Railroad,  which  connects  the  U.,  I.  and  E.  R.  R.  with  the  Tioga  R.  R.  of 
Pennsylvania. 

Corning  is  now  reached  by  a  third  rail  on  the  Erie,  12  miles  in  length,  the  property  of' 
the  U.,  I.  and  E.  R.  R.  Co.,  from  Horseheads,  a  common  point  on  both  lines,  and  six  miles

The  main  line  between  Cortland  and  Elmira  crosses  at  Freeville  the  Southern  Central 
R.  R. ;  at  Mottville,  the  Cayuga  and  Susquehanna  Branch  of  the  Delaware,  Lackawanna  and- 
Western ;  at  Spencer,  the  Geneva,  Ithaca  and  Athens  R.  R.,  which  is  the  northern  extension 
and  property  of  the  Lehigh  Valley  R.  R. ;  at  Horseheads,  the  Northern  Central  Railway  of 
Pennsylvania,  extending  from  Northern  and  Central  New  York  to  Baltimore  and  Washing-- 
ton. At  Cortland,  this  line  crosses  the  northern  extension  of  the  Delaware,  Lackawanna  and 
Western  R  R  ,  by  which  Syracuse  is  reached,  and  a  through  line  of  uniform  gauge  secured 
from  Corning  to  Syracuse.  From  Cortland,  by  existing  connections,  Utica,  ou  the  New  York. 
Central  R.  R,.,  is  reached. 

During  the  present  year  another  outlet  to  the  New  York  Central  at  Canastota,  by  the 
extension  of  the  Cazenovia  and  Canastota  R.  R.  to  De  Ruyter,  on  the  Midland,  20  miles  > 
from  Cortlaud,  will  be  opened  for  this  line ;  and  a  fourth  outlet  to  the  New  York  Central . 
will  also  be  given  by  completiou  this  summer  to  Auburn  of  the  line  formerly  belonging  to 
the  Midland  Co.,  but  now  reorganized  and  operated  by  the  U.  I.  &  E  R.  R.  Co.,  extending, 
from  Freeville  to  Scipio,  27  miles,  and  to  within  10  miles  of  Auburn.

ATLANTIC  AND  PACIFIC  BAILKOAD. 


(Consolidation,  October  25,  1870,  of  the  Atlantic  and  Pacific  and  the  South  Pacific  Railroad 
Companies.     Opened  to  Yinita  September  1,  1871.) 

Line  of  Road.— Franklin  (Pacific  R.  R.  of  Mo.),  Mo.,  to  Yinita,  Ind.  Ter.  .328.00  miles. 
Second  track  and  sidings,  30  miles.  Gauge,  4  feet  8£  inches.  Rail,  56  to  60  Ibs. 

The  Atlantic  and  Pacific  Railroad  was  organized  under  an  Act  of  Congress  approved  July 
27,  1866,  and  embraces  the  South  Pacific  Railroad  Company  (originally  the  southwest  branch 
of  the  Pacific  Railroad  of  Missouri),  which  was  organized  under  the  provisions  of  an  Act  of 
the  General  Assembly  of  Missouri,  approved  March  7,  1868.  The  South  Pacific  received  a 
grant  of  lands,  under  an  Act  of  Congress  passed  June  10,  1852,  of  1,161,205  acres.  Under 
the  Atlantic  and  Pacific  Railroad  Company's  charter  about  500,000  acres  have  been  already 
received  and  secured  by  the  company,  namely,  480,000  acres  in  Missouri  and  20,000  acres 
in  Arkansas.  The  receipts  from  the  sales  of  these  lands  are  applicable,  first,  to  interest  on 
the  bonded  debt,  and  the  balance  appropriated  to  paying  off  the  bonds  at  a  price  not  exceed- 
ing 110  per  cent. 

The  Pacific  Railroad  of  Missouri  was  leased  to  this  company  (for  details  see  MANUAL  of 
1875-76),  but,  owing  to  default  in  the  terms  of  the  lease,  all  the  contracts  between  the  two 
roads  were  annulled,  and  each  was  placed  in  the  hands  of  receivers,  and  is  now  separately

(75  miles),  and  between  Miramichi  and  Moncton  (81  m.)  have  recently  (spring  of  1876) 
been  declared  and  are  now  complete.  The  whole  railway  will  be  in  operation  during  the 
present  summer,  the  official  opening  being  fixed  for  June  26,  1876. 

The  cost  to  the  Dominion  Government,  with  589  miles  of  the  railway  completed,  had 
been  to  Xovember  30,  1875,  $21,187,111,  or,  per  mile  of  road,  $35,971.33.  The  remainder 
of  the  railway  then  under  construction  (156  m.)  will  probably  bring  the  whole  cost  of  the 
work  up  to  $25,000,000. 

The  original  gauge  of  the  tcack  was  5  feet  6  inches;  in  May  last  it  was  reduced  to  the 
American  standard  gauge  of  4  feet  8|  inches.  This  is  the  same  gauge  as  now  in  use  on  the 
Grand  Trunk,  and  hence  an  unbroken  line  is  formed  by  the  completion  of  this  line  from 
Halifax  to  the  Detroit  River  of  upwards  of  1,200  miles;  and  at  the  latter  point  connecting 
with  a  line  of  roads  of  the  same  gauge  extending  to  San  Francisco  and  the  Pacific  Ocean. 

The  extent  of  railway  owned  by  the  Intercolonial  operated  during  the  year  ending  June 
30,  1875,  was  as  follows: 

Halifax,  N.  S.,  to  Pictou,  X.  S 113  miles. 

Windsor  Branch — Junction  (13  m.  N.  Halifax)  to  Windsor 32     '• 

Truro,  N.  S.,  to  Painsec  Junction 118     '• 

St.  John,  N.  B.,  to  Point  du  Ohene  (Shediac) 143     '• 

River  de  Loup,  Quebec,  to  St.  Flavie,  Quebec 83     -i 

Total  length  in  operation  June  30,  1875 454  miles. 

The  "Windsor  and  Annapolis  Eailway  Company  run  trains  over  the  line  from  Windsor 
to  Halifax  (45  miles)  under  lease,  and  pay  a  rental  of  one  third  of  the  gross  earnings.  The 
Intercolonial  maintains  this  branch. 

In  October,  1874,  the  line  from  River  du  Loup  to  St.  Flavie,  which  had  hitherto  been 
operated  by  the  Grand  Trunk,  was  taken  charge  of  and  operated  by  the  Dominion  Govern- 
ment. Gross  earnings  to  June  30,  1875,  $18,319.68,  and  operating  expenses,  $47,574.50.

880  CONGRESSIONAL  LAND   GRANTS  FOR  RAILROADS. 

CONGRESSIONAL  LAND  GRANTS  FOR  RAILROADS,  ETC. 


In  1850  Congress  established  a  precedent,  in  the  case  of  the  Illinois  Central  and  Mobile 
and  Ohio  Railroads,  of  granting  to  Stales,  in  aid  of  construction  of  railroads  upon  specified 
routes,  six  alternate  sections  of  public  lands  of  640  acres  each  (and  equalling  3,840  acres  to 
the  milej,  to  be  taken  by  the  odd  numbers  within  six  miles  of  the  line  of  the  road  proposed. 
In  case  such  a  number  of  sections  of  odd  numbers  of  public  lands  could  riot  be  found  within 
six  miles  of  such  line  (in  consequence  of  the  previous  sale  or  reservation  of  the  same  by  the 
Government),  then  the  grant  was  to  be  enlarged  so  as  to  apply  to  the  odd  sections  within 
fifteen  miles  of  the  line  on  either  side,  so  as  to  make  up  the  full  amount  intended  to  be 
granted.  Many  of  the  grants  were  subsequently  further  enlarged,  so  as  to  apply  to  sections 
of  odd  numbers  within  twenty  miles  of  the  line.  Upon  the  sections  of  public  lands  of  even 
numbers  within  the  limits  of  the  grant  the  price  was  raised  from  $1.25  to  $2.50  per  acre. 

Although  the  grants  were  made  to  the  several  States,  they  were  in  all  cases,  as  speedily 
as  possible,  transferred  to  railroad  companies,  chartered  by  them  to  construct  lines  upon  the 
general  route  specified  in  the  Act  of  Congress,  and  usually  without  any  other  conditions  than 
those  imposed  in  such  Act,  the  most  important  of  which  related  to  the  time  m  which  the 
roads  should  be  built. 

With  regard  to  the  Pacific  lines  of  railroad  and  their  connections,  the  concessions  were 
made  directly  to  the  corporations  interested. 

During  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30,  1875,  there  were  certified  to  different  railroad 
companies,  under  the  operations  of  the  Land  Grants  Acts  of  Congress,  3,107,643.14  acres — a 
decrease,  as  compared  with  the  previous  year,  of  156,671.28  acres.  There  were  reported  to 
the  Commissioners  of  the  General  Land  Office,  as  constructed  during  that  year,  214  miles  of 
land  grant  railroads,  which  made  up  to  that  date  an  aggregate  of  12,991  miles  of  railroad 
constructed  under  the  land  grant  system,  distributed  as  follows:

INDIANA.     (Amount  of  Debt  October  31,  1875,  $5,003,538.34.) 

The  debt  of  Indiana,  which  was  contracted  chiefly  for  works  of  internal  improvement, 
undertaken  many  years  ago,  has  been  reduced  to  a  nominal  amount,  as  far  as  the  public  are 
coucerned,  the  outstanding  if  sues  having  been  taken  up  and  held  by  the  State  as  a  school 
fund.  The  balance  held  by  the  public  will  be  paid  on  presentation. 

In  the  adjustment  of  the  old  debt  in  1847-8  the  creditors  took  the  Wabash  and  Erie 
Canal  for  one  half  of  their  debt.  This  work  has  proved  almost  wholly  unproductive,  so  that 
this  portion  of  the  old  debt  remains  virtually  unpaid,  though  discharged  by  the  consent  of 

the  holders.

The  school  bonds  draw  interest  at  the  rate  of  5  and  6  per  cent.,  for  the  payment  of 
which  an  annual  appropriation  is  made. 

The  sinking  funds  had,  at  date,  cash  and  available  resources  to  meet  the  negotiable 
debt  amounting  to  $2, 283, 494,  Kentucky  may,  therefore,  be  said  to  be  out  of  debt,  except

STATE  DEBTS  AND  LIABILITIES. 


The  reports  of  the  State  officials  do  not  contain  details  of  the  funded  debt  outstanding 
at  the  close  of  ]  874.  The  above  is  taken  from  a  former  report,  and  does  not  exactly  agree  in 
the  aggregate  with  the  total  amount  of  debt  as  stated  by  the  Governor.  No  later  report  has 
been  received. 


MARYLAND.     (Amount  of  Debt  Sept.  30,  1875,  $11,372,677.28.) 

The  debt  of  Maryland  has  been  created  chiefly  to  aid  in  the  construction  of  railroads 
and  canals.  A  large  portion  of  its  original  investments,  particularly  those  made  in  the 
Chesapeake  and  Ohio  Canal,  proved  unproductive,  and  at  one  time  created  great  embarrass- 
ment in  the  finances  of  the  State.  These  were  satisfactorily  and  honorably  adjusted,  and 
the  credit  of  the  State  has  since  stood  deservedly  high.

All  the  above  are  held  by  the  permanent  School  Fund. 

This  State,  in  1858,  contracted  a  debt  to  the  amount  of  $2,275,000  to  aid  in  the  con- 
struction of  railroads.  The  railroads  that  were  intended  to  be  added,  and  which  agreed  to 
pay  the  interest  on  these  bonds,  broke  down.  The  State,  claiming  that  its  endorsement  was 
a  conditional  one,  intending  only  to  secure  to  the  railroads  the  proceeds  of  certain  lands, 
failed  to  pay  the  interest  on  the  bonds.  It  has,  by  a  recent  vote  of  the  people,  virtually  repu- 
diated them. 


MISSOURI.     (Amount  of  Debt  January  1,  1875,  $1-7,839,000.) 

The  debt  of  Missouri  was  contracted  chiefly  to  aid  the  construction  of  railroads  tmder- 
ken  by  private  companies.  The  debt  due  on  account  of  the  Hannibal  and  St.  Joseph  R.  R.

This  State,  which  formerly  possessed  an  excellent  credit,  has  within  a  few  years  wholly 
destroyed  it  by  reckless  and  improvident  legislation,  by  which  a  vast  debt  has  been  incurred 
without  securing  the  construction  of  roads  for  which  it  was  created.  The  bonds  issued  were 
in  numerous  cases  delivered  over  to  the  railroad  companies  almost  before  the  commence- 
ment of  work  on  them,  and,  as  might  have  been  expected,  were  forced  upon  the  market  at 
ruinously  low  figures,  and  their  proceeds  squandered  in  one  way  or  another.

TENNESSEE.      (Amount   of  Debt  December  19,  1874,  $22,908,400.) 


The  debt  of  Tennessee  has  been  contracted  chiefly  in  aid  of  the  construction  of  Railroads, 
the  State  issuing  its  own  bonds  directly  to  railroad  companies  constructing  these  works, 
taking  a  mortgage  on  the  several  lines,  and  an  agreement  from  the  companies  to  pay  the 
interest  accruing  on  the  bonds  issued. 

The  State  defaulted  on  the  interest  due  1872.     The  debt  of  the  State  having  been  chiefly 
contracted  on  account  of  bonds  issued  to  railroad  companies,  those  companies  whose 
failed  to  pay  interest  were  sold,  and  the  State  debt  thereby  reduced  to  its  present  amount. 

The  outstanding  bonds  mature  as  follows: 


In  1875 $24,000

VIRGINIA.     (Amount  of  Debt  September  30,  1874,  $47,542,610.^7.) 

Included  in  the  above  amount  are  $15,239,370.74  claimed  to  be  due  by  West  A< 
$517,505  outstanding  coupons,  and  $1,828,724.48  deferred  interest— in  all,  $17." 
leaving  as  the  debt  recognized  by  Virginia  the  sum  of  $29,957,010.75. 


STATE  DEBTS  AND  LIABILITIES.  903 

The  debt  of  Virginia  was  created  almost  entirely  in  aid  of  the  construction  of  Railroads 
and  Canals.  From  the  cost  of  the  construction  and  maintenance  of  these  works,  and  the 
small  amounts  of  their  earnings,  nearly  all  its  investments  proved  unproductive.  During 
the  war  the  western  portion  of  the  State  was  erected  by  the  Federal  Government  into  the 
State  of  WEST  VIRGINIA,  so  that,  upon  the  return  of  peace,  the  whole  burden  of  restoring  its 
finances  was  thrown  upon  the  old  State,  which  had  lost  more  than  one  third  of  its  territory 
and  nearly  one  third  of  its  population.  So  far,  "West  Virginia  has  not  acknowledged  any 
portion  of  this  debt,  although  its  constitution  provided  for  an  equitable  adjustment  of  the 
same.  The  difficulty  in  the  way  of  an  adjustment  is  the  lack  of  benefits  received  by  West 
Virginia,  from  the  manner  in  which  the  proceeds  of  the  old  debt  were  applied — the  works 
aided  having  been  almost  wholly  in  "  old  "  Virginia.  It  is. yet  impossible  to  say  what  course 
will  be  taken  by  West  Virginia,  but  it  is  not  unlikely  that  it  will  consent  to  assume  some 
portion  of  the  old  debt. 

The  following  is  a  statement  of  the  Funded  Debt  as  it  was  on  the  30th  of  September,

WEST  VIRGINIA. 

This  State  has  as  yet  incurred  no  debt.  It  is  proposed,  however,  that  one  third  of  the 
debt  of  Virginia,  as  it  stood  before  the  separation  of  the  two  States,  shall  be  assumed  by 
West  Virginia ;  and  it  is  probable  that  some  adjustment  will  eventually  be  consummated. 
The  amount  which  Virginia  claims  should  be  paid  is  $17,585,600.22. 


WISCONSIN. 


This  State  has  no  public  debt,  the  whole  amount  having  been  absorbed  in  the  School 
Fund  and  other  Trust  Funds.

The  "HSHBR"  Bail  Joint  Works 


^r^sr* 

T^VKsSS? 


& 


MAKE  EVERY  VARIETY  OF  THE  "  FISHER  "  JOINT, 

The  Single  LJ  Bolt  Long  Joint,  as  represented,  consists  essentially  of  a  flanged  beam  two 
feet  long,  spiked  to  two  ties  and  supporting  at  its  centre  the  ends  of  contiguous  rails,  to 
which  they  are  firmly  held  down  together  by  the  two  ends  of  the  U-bolt  passing  vertically 
through  it  and  the  corners  of  the  flanges,  with  short  top  bars  accurately  fitting  the  upper 
surface  of  rail  flanges,  enclosing  them  clear  to  the  stem.  The  nuts  are  screwed  down  with 
a  wrench  four  feet  long,  making  the  track  practically  continuous.  There  is  no  jar  or  "bat- 
tering "  at  that  joint,  and  consequently  no  necessity  for  any  of  the  innumerable  "inventions 
of  gum"  or  other  "washers,"  "lock  nuts,"  etc.,  to  "absorb  "the  jarring  and  prevent  the 
loosening  of  nuts,  as  is  required  for  every  species  of  Fish  Joint  depending  upon  horizontal 
bolts  for  resistance  to  the  vertical  strains  of  moving  loads. 

This  Joint  supports  the  rail  at  its  weakest  point,  viz.,  its  extremity,  by  having  the  flanged 
beam  slightly  arched  upward  and  so  proportioned  as  to  be  a  little  deflected  as  the  wheel 
passes  the  joint,  and  giving  the  same  elasticity  vertically  at  that  point  as  at  other  parts  of  the 
rail.  It  has  the  whole  width  of  rail  base  for  bearing  instead  of  only  the  narrow  surface  of 
the  rail  heads  hanging  on  the  thin  edges  of  fish  bars.  It  is  well  known  to  railroad  men  of 
experience  that  the  ends  of  rails  cannot  be  kept  up  properly  by  any  joint  which  omits  exterior 
support.  Only  bolting  the  weakest  parts  of  two  rails  together,  however  securely,  results 
after  a  time  in  the  joint  settling,  with  rolling  and  loosening  of  the  joint  ties.  In  the  FISHER 
LONG  ARCHED  JOINT  both  ties  receive  the  load  at  the  same  time,  being  distributed  over  both. 
The  nuts  do  not  become  loose,  and  this  because  the  vertical  bolts  are  not  subjected  to  jarring 
cross  strains.  There  is  very  little  wearing  of  the  Joint  on  account  of  the  large  bearing  sur- 
face, and  it  may  be  taken  up  directly  by  half  a  turn  more  of  the  nuts.  No  slotting  or  punch- 
ing of  either  rail,  flanges  or  stem  is  necessary,  the  only  cutting  being  a  half  inch  circular  on 
the  corner  of  the  flanges  at  the  extreme  end  for  the  LJ  bolt,  which  also  furnishes,  with  the 
supporting  beam  spiked  to  the  two  ties,  the  most  effectual  stop  at  both  ends  of  rails  against 
"creeping"  of  track. 

Fish  bars  wear  unequally— -greatest  at  the  middle  on  the  edges — so  that  they  cannot  be 
used  a  second  time  on  new  rails.  The  "  FISHER"  JOINT  wears  uniformly  and  is  applicable  to 
several  successive  sets  of  new  rails.  The  Fish  Joint  requires  the  sacrifice  of  the  proper 
shape  of  rails  in  all  the  rest  of  their  length  for  application  to  the  two  ends.  The  FISHER 
RAIL  JOINT  is  equally  applicable  to  any  rail  section,  and  enables  the  use  of  steel  rails  of  less 
height,  or  iron  rails  with  the  Erie  or  "  pear-shaped  "  head.  Finally,  it  is  made  and  fitted 
complete,  and  laying  track  with  this  Joint  can  be  done  more  rapidly  than  with  any  other,  as 
it  is  not  required  to  be  taken  apart. 

Further  information,  with  the  strongest  testimonials  from  four  to  ten  years'  experience  of 
different  important  roads,  will  be  furnished  on  application  to  the  above  address.

No.  50  FAYETTE  STREET, 

I?.   O.  Box  441.  BALTIMORE,    MARYLAND. 


The  following  practical  results  of  this  improvement  are  respectfully  presented  to  Railroad 
Companies  for  their  careful  consideration.  All  who  have  adopted  it  are  referred  to  by  per- 
mission, as  to  its  work.  Results  in  daily  practice  equal  to  the  stops  herein  recited  are  guar- 
anteed if  the  rules  laid  down  by  me  are  observed.  The  following  is  part  of  a  proposition 
made  by  me  to  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  Railroad  Co.,  July  17th,  1873.  T.  R.  SHARP,  P]sq., 
M.  T.  B.  &  0.  R.  R.  Co.,  gave  me  at  the  time  to  understand,  that  if  they  adopted  my  brake 
jt  must  equal  any  other  brake  in  its  stopping  capacity,  when  I  sent  him  the  following: 

"  I  propose  that  you  give  me  a  train  of  six  or  more  cars,  when  I  will  make  five  stops  that  shall  equal  those 
made  recently  at  Boston,  by  the  '  Westiughouse  Brake,'  in  the  great  competitive  trial,  between  the 
*  Westinghouse '  and  '  Smith's  Vacuum  '  Brakes,  when  the  two  trains  were  run  bide  by  side  ;  when  this 
is  accomplished  you  shall  pay  me  two  thousand  dollars  ;  and  when  I  make  five  more  stops  within  one-half 
the  distance  he  did  (.at  the  same  speed),  you  shall  pay  me  two  thousand  dollars  more  ;  and  when  I  stop 
a  train  of  ten  cars,  when  running  on  level  at  the  best  speed  of  your  best  engine,  within  a  distance  of 
six  hundred  feet,  and  within  sixteen  seconds1  time,  you  shall  pay  me  the  balance  ;  accept  this  and  I  will 
go  to  work  to  accomplish  it." 

On  this  proposition,  a  written  agreement  was  made  September  13th,  1873.  The  first  was 
fulfilled  by  making  four  trips  from  Baltimore  to  Washington,  with  four  separate  engines,  each 
of  which  made  thirteen  station  stops ;  the  average  stops  did  not  vary  one  second  in  time,  and 
each  of  them  fulfilled  the  first  condition  of  my  contract.  The  second  condition  was  fulfilled 
by  stopping  the  train  within  one-half  the  distance  (at  the  same  speed)  it  was  accomplished  at 
Boston  by  the  "  Westinghouse  "  and  "  Vacuum  "  brakes,  aud  I  had  39  feet  to  spare.  The 
following  shows  the  fulfillment  of  the  third  and  last  condition.

JOHN  KING,  Jr.,  Esq., 

Vice-President  Baltimore  &  Ohio  R.  B. 

SIR  :— We,  the  undersigned,  appointed  respectively,  two  by  the  B.  &  O.  R.  R.  Co.,  and  two  by  William 
Loughridge,  as  judges  to  witness  a  certain  test  trial  of  the  "LOUGHRIDOE  AIR  BRAKE,"  respectfully  beg 
leave  to  report,  that,  on  the  29th  day  of  February,  1876,  agreeably  to  the  terms  of  a  contract  with  the  said 
B.  &  O.  R.  R.  Co.,  dated  September  13th,  1873,  and  a  modification  of  the  same  dated  February  12th,  1876, 
the  said  Loughridge  did.  by  the  use  of  his  Air  Brake,  stop  a  train  of  ten  coaches  "  within  a  distance  of  600 
feet,  and  in  16  seconds'  time,"  said  train  running  at  the  time  upon  a  level  track  at  the  highest  speed 
attainable  by  the  best  engine  of  the  said  B.  &  O.  R.  R.  Co.,  under  the  conditions  prescribed  in  the  said 
contract  and  the  modification  thereto,  above  referred  to. 

We  further  beg  leave  to  state,  that  the  levels  and  the  measurements  of  distance,  time,  and  speed,  were 
all  either  taken  or  verified  by  us  personally,  and  that  the  experiment  was  made  with  the  utmost  care  and 
precision,  and  that  we  fully  and  unanimously  concur  as  to  the  result  above  set  forth. 

Respectfully  submitted  by 

Chief  Engineer  V.  S.  Navy,  WM.  H.  SHOCK,  I  For 

GEO.  J.  FOREACRE,  Gerfl  Manager  W.  C.  V.  M.  &  G.  S.  R.  It.,  j  B.  &  O.  R.  R.  Co.

********** 
I  will  guarantee  my  brake  to  accomplish  better  results  than  any  in  use,  and  at  less  cost. 
I  will  also  undertake  to  improve  any  system  of  brakes  in  use ;  if  I  fail  to  accomplish  it  I  will 
pay  all  expenses.  Believing  as  I  do,  that  no  Engineer's  Brake  can  be  made  to  work  well  with- 
out infringing  my  patents  of  1864,  1867,  1869  and  1873, 1  caution  all  persons  against  their  use.

Safford's  Safety  and  Indestructible  Draw  Bar, 

This  invention  is  now  in  use  on  123  railroads.     38  were  made  in  '73,  2,100  in   '74, 

8,000  in  '75,  and  I  believe  2O,000  will  be  made  in  1876.  Its  merits,  as  shown  in  the  engraving, 
are  obtained  by  transposing  the  iron  of  either  wrought  or  cast  Draw  Bar.  It  being  posit  ive  and  at 
all  times  reliable  and  not  probably  a  safety  Draw  Bar,  it  will  save  crippling  or  pinching 

against  a  plain  Draw  Bar  of  any  style,  three  inches  being  sufficient  for  the  hand  if  the  glove  freezes 
fast,  or  any  of  the  cases  occur  that  are  our  daily  portion  and  risk.  Several  Companies,  having  from  400 
to  1,500  in  use,  report  none  broken  except  in  rsiaes  of  collision.  Transposition  takes  the  iron 
from  the  sides  of  the  head  and  body  for  a  vertical  face,  thus  saving  locking  and  straining  Draw  Bar 
bolts  and  timbers,  even  if  link  opening  is  badly- worn,  and  it  also  prevents  any  other  style  from 
locking  into  it.  No  work  being  done  upon  this  added  stock  of  face,  unless  one  half  of  the  blow  is 
received  in  line  of  the  body,  they  will  not  and  do  not  break.  No  rights  have  been  given  away, 
except  the  road  I  began  upon  in  1855,  and  one  recently  employed  on.  Nineteen  roads  have  been  sold, 
and  I  think  fifty  others  will  soon  adopt  it.  The  peculiar  link  opening  gives  a  greater  range  than  usual 
for  coupling,  and  also  more  strength  to  the  pin,  and  thus  saves  double  the  price  of  right  in  the  breaking 
in  two  of  trains.  No  change  need  be  made  in  your  present  style.  I  have  over  200  letters  endorsing 
my  claims,  and  many  advised  me  to  advertise  a  year  ago,  that  freight  and  yard  men,  who  have 
suffered  more  and  cost  railroad  companies  more  than  all  others,  might  be  permanently  benefited. 

To  be  brief,  this  invention  is  what  Railroad  Companies,  Train  Men,  Railroad  Com- 
missioners and  the  public  have  asked  for  for  freight  trains. 

Use  it  and  stop  the  ghastly  scenes  of  almost  daily  occurrence. 

Use  it  and  stop  the  manufacture  of  cripples  and  injured  men. 

Use  it  and  relieve  freight  and  yard  men  from  the  constant  liability  to  injury  or  death. 

Use  it  and  save  the  immense  aggregate  now  annually  paid  for  repairs. 

Use  it  and  comply  with  that  higher  law,  HUMANITY  TO  MAN. 

But,  above  all,  use  it  and  stop  ttie  endless  litigation  and  consequent  evils. 

Companies  having  3,000  cars  or  less  may  have  30  Draw  Bars  free  of  royalty  for  repairs  or  new  work  ; 
over  3,000  cars,  50  Draw  Bars.  I  will  send  a  pattern  and  core  box,  giving  my  invention  complete  to 
yoke,  for  $3.00,  which  amount  I  will  return  if  desired,  if  you  do  not  adopt  it.

The  improvement  consists  in  a  hood  covering  the  end  of  the  latch,  pivoted  to  the  fore  end  of  tiie  lock 
case,  ami  through  the  latch,  by  which  arrangement  the  latch  swings  entirely  clear  Irom  the  plate  of  the 
lock.  This  improvement  was  patented  November  6th,  1874.

the  use  thereof,  as  they  will  be  dealt  with  according  to  law.

GENTLEMEN  :  Your  "  Metallic  Paints,"  known  as  "  Iron  Clad  Paints^  have,  in  the  past  nine  years,  been 
extensively  used  and  thoroughly  tested  by  this  Company,  as  to  their  covering  capacity,  durability  and 
resistance  to  atmospheric  changes— latter  "  paint  destroyer  "—the  most  difficult  to  overcome  in  outside 
paints.  We  can. emphatically  accord  them  the  highest  position  over  any  paint  heretofore  produced  for 
Cars,  Roofs,  Stations,  Bridges,  etc.  The  monthly  increase  of  our  orders  is  the  best  evidence  that  the 
Paint  is  constantly  growing  in  favor  with  our  mechanics.  Very  respectfully  yours,

The  momentum  of  the  train  is  the  power  used. 
In  its  application  it  is  effective  throughout  the 
train  from  the  rear,  it  being  there  first  applied, 
avoiding  telescoping  or  concussion.  The  action 
of  the  Coupler  is  Automatic.  In  case  of  any  cars 
getting  off  track,  from  any  cause,  it  will  uncouple. 
put  on  the  Brakes  and  cut  off  steam.  The  com- 
bined application  is  the  life  preserving  feature 
of  the  invention. 

IT  IS  CHEAP  AND  EASILY  APPLIED. 

Upon  a  succession  of  trials,  trains  running  45 
miles  an  hour  stopped  in  5  to  8  seconds,  dis- 
tance 53  yards.
