~ THE CHESAPEAKE AND ONO RAILROAD,
A NEW TRUNK LINE FROM TIE sEABoARD TO THE
WEST,
is already completed and in operation from Rich
mond to the celebrated White Sulphur Springs, ~
miles, and there remain but 200 miles, now under
construction to complete it to the Western terminus
on the Ohio River, 3l5 miles below Pittsburgh, atthe
head of reliable and continuous navigation.
The completed portion of the Road is doing GOOD
LOCAL BUSINESS which will be enormously increased
as it progresses and opens the immense mineral
riches of Virginia and West Virginia whose coal and
iron are celebrated for their quality and abundance
and would alone enrich the means of communication
which affords them access to the markets East and
West.
The advantages of the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail
road AS A GREAT EAST AND WEST THROUGH LINE, for
the transportation of the heavy freights (which con-
stitute the principal part of the East and West
through traffic. are numerous and important.
l. A SHORT ROUTE between the Atlantic coast and
the great West.
2. Low GRADES.
3. LIGHT CURVES.
4. A GENIAL CLIMATE, which admits of safe, eco
nomical, and constant operation.
5. EAST AND WEST TERsfINI, at favorable points on
tide-watcr and the Ohio River.
8. VERY LARGE THROUGH AND LOCAL TRAFFIC
awaiting its progress.
IA COMPARATIVELY LIGHT CAPITAL AND DEBT,
and consequently light tax upon traffic for payment
of interest and dividends.
All these conditions favor cheap and economical
working of the line, and will enable the Chesa-
peake and Ohio route TO do a profitable East ard
West through business at rates which would not pay
by tho more difficult and costly lines and to control
an enormous South Uesten hrOugh trade
