Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago
Railroad.
!. We had in the last number Of the Uni
ted States Railroad and Mining Registe,
| the following just and true remarks rela-
tive to this great connection of Pittsburgh
with the northwest. The Register says
When completed and operated from
Pittsburgh to Chicago, 456 miles, as il
soon will be, this road will command con
sideration as the road that is destined to
acquire higher rank of commercial i'm
Eportance than any other road, now the
property of a single corporation, between
the longitude of Pittsburgh and the Mis-
sissippi river, and between the Ohio river
and the lakes.
From Chicago-the most attractive ex-
isting railroad center west of the Alleehe.
ny mountains-the Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne and Chicago Railroad reaches
more than half way to the ocean, and
constitutes more than half direct
route to Philadelphia, Baltimore and
New York! At Pittsburgh it unites with
the parent trunk of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, whereby there is opened from
it direct route to tide water at Philadei-
phia, shorter route to New York via
Philadelphia, than New York now enjoys
over either one of her own too stupendous
iron ways that lead first to Lake Erie and
thence by connecting roads to the cities
beyond.
At Chicago, the Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne and Chicago Railroad will con-
nect with roads diverging away to the far
west. whereby there will be open to it
and from it routes for the collection and
distribution Of travel and traffic, from and
for the Missouri river, Lake Superior and
intermediate points. Thus viewed
through its prospects, it looms in the
near future as the national north west
route resting on the Ohio river and Lake
Michigan, with elongating allies, Jealous
IN cooperation extending east. south east
and north least to the tide water cities
named, and west and north west to the
remotest bounds traversed by iron steeds
and loaded trains.
In its thorough bearings, therefore, the
Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago
Railroad is the middle link in harmoni.
Gus way from Philadelphia, Baltimore
and New York, to Lake Superior, ST,
Paul and the Missouri river. Between
those wide apart tcrmini, it covers more
than one third of the entire distance.
constituting at the same time, one of the
three links, now prospective, but soon to
become real, reaching from Philadelphia
via Pittsburgh and Chicago, to Lake
Superior, St. Paul and Council Bluffs.
But apart from its facilities to share
even to command the conveyance and
transport Of a large portion of the tons and
persons ever passing TO and fro between
the sea-coast cities and the inland COM
monwealths, and confning our view to
Its local resources that cannot be divided
by the competition Of rival lines, its ad
become still more apparent; be-
cause, from its terminal and waYside sta,
tons, including the roads that run into it
and have no outlet but upon its track, it
will enjoy sources of revenue and profit
ample to pay interest on loans and divi-
lends on capital stock Of this we think
here is no room for reasonable doubt
or statistics oft made public, demonstrate
hat the country upon its line produces
of the standard varieties ofll
agriculture; that new towns are
growing up and old towns are enlargino

Dad derives accession to its way travel

ouraging to contemplate. {
