RICHMOND AND ATLANTA AIRLINE RAILROAD.
The survey and location of the Airline road,
which has recently been completed. show the
following elevations above tide-water: At
lanta, the starting point, 1,1e5 Gainesville,
1857; Mt Mr.. kimSey's, twenty-eight miles
east of this place, the highest point on the
line, 1915; the Tugalo river, at the crossing,
700, which will be crossed on bridge only
thirty feet high; Greenville, S. c., 1850;
Spartanburg, 1850; at Kings Mountain the
elevation is the same as it is at Gainesville;
Charlotte, n. c., $50. The greatest diver
gence from an airline is at Mr. kimsey's,
which is a little over four miles. The line
runs within two miles of Toccoa Falls, and
foruteen miles from Tallnlah Falls. The dis
lance from Atlanta to Charlotte Is 260 miles.
The line skirts the mountains for two hundred
miles, and yet there will not be tunnel on
the road, and the heaviest grade will be
50 $40 feet per mile. This is triumph OF
engineering skill but rarely equalled, and
probably not excelled in railroad engineer
ing. :,
The whole line is now under contract, with
over 5000 hands at work. 1t Is the intention
of the authorities to have the cars running
through by the first Of November next
