Baltimore, Pittsburg & Chi
cagO Railway.

OeNt4O
For some time past the engi-
neers Of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company have been
engaged in running a series Of
lines between Pittsburg and Chi
cago, for the purpose Of ascer-
tanning the shortest and most
practicable route to the latter
city. The road, when COM
pleted, is intended to be a pro-
longation of what was formerly
called the Pittsburg and Con-
nellsyille, but now known as the
Baltimore, Pittsburg and Chi
cago Railroad. That part of the
line between Havana, in Huron
county, O., and Defiance county,
on the edge of the western bor-
der of the same State, about a
100 miles in length, having been
finally located, Mr. Randolph,
the chief engineer of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Com
pany, advertises for proposals for
graduation and masonry. Wei
learn that the other part of the
line, westward to Chicago, will
also be put under contract
shortly, and will be rapidly |
pushed to completion. A great
through road from Baltimore to
Chicago, built under the aus
pices of the Baltimore and Ohio,
and conducted with the ability
and enterprise that characterize
it in 50 remarkable a degree,
cannot fail to prove of vast ben
eft to the commercial interests
of Baltimore. When, also, by
the construction of other railroad
links with the main trunk of the
Baltimore and Ohio, the distance
from Baltimore to Chicago will
be not only shorter than any
other route, but these new tribu-
taries drain large areas of terri
tory with which, at present, we
have but indirect connection or
none at all, the traffic of the road
will be increased immensely, and
the spirit shown in extending its
ramifcations will meet its just
reward.
