NEW DEToUR OF THE PEEN'A RAIL ROAD.
The JohnstOwn Tribune of recent date
says:
The laying Of track for the detour which Is TO
be made from the line Of the Pennsylvania Rail
road at point n short distance east OF CressOn.
near Adams MIL has been commenced. and the
bed OF what Is known as tho New Portage Railrsad
IS being followed. WOrkmen are busiIy engaged
cleaning out the tunnel, q few miles from the di-
Veroing place, and the earth and rock which fell
in at intervals since the abandonment of the thor
oughfare will be removed. 1t is stated that
daysbur@. viii be put in substantial condition
within q bret space OF time. and the grade Is
and Altoona the advantage 20 be gained by adding
this improvement viii be manifest. From HolIi-
dayshure the route Of the present branch road to
Williamsburg, Blair county, VIII be followed. and
from thence the grading and track-laying will be
continued to tne vicinity Of Petersburg. Hunting
don county. some six mites west OF Huntingdon
where connection with the main stem will be mado
II is further stated that some thirteen miles in
distance will be cut of by the opening up OF this
detour. which is equivalent to saving Of half an
hour in making the between Cresson and
Petersburg. while there other advantages to
er to move trains. etc. One OF the main features
OF the route lies in the fact that In case any
line VIII AFFORD an outlet east and west for all
trains. If IL should happen that a considerable
quantity Of roofing Of the tunnel mentioned should
fali IN lust at this luncture trahc the p. X. r.
would be practically ended for perhaps a definite
period. The tunnel on the New Portage IS shorter
aad with some necessary repairs can be made safer
than the former. We are not informed whether
the detour viii be used for the moving OF freight
or IA st tn rough uaseerper trains or Tor both buf
all this viii be developed in due OF time.
The new line win give Altoona and Tyrone the go
by, but this will rot make much difference to
these places, as the bulk of traffic, both passenger
and freight will continue to pass over the main
stem.
