lati road. The Fort Wayne and Chicago road
ught to be sufficiently well known to have its geo.
graphical position at least rightly defined. The
Dad does not commence at Crestne, but at Fort
WAYNE, Ind, and extends from that point, on d.
ect lne to Chicago CAT miles). The great line of
which this road is part, consisting Of the Pennsyl
ania Central, Ohio and Pennsylvania, and Ohio
Ind Indiana and Fort Wayne and Chicago roads,
makes a route from Philadelphia to Chicago of sls
niles, and at the same time offers route from New
ork to Chicago, via Philadelphia, sixty-one miles
horter than that now travelled over the New York
Ind Erie, Lake Shore and Michigan Southern roads.
Inc intersection of the line at Crestlinc with the
cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati road offers one
+ the best routes from Cleveland to Chicago, aud
me Of unbroken gauge from Chicago to Buffalo, via
cleveland. The portion Of the Fort Wayne and Chi.
ago road lately opened is the Eastern twenty miles
rom Fort Wayne to Columbia.
