Railroad Talk.

The Chesapeake Western Railway, II is
now said, will not figure in the Gould
SeabOard connection. Chief Engineer
Latrobe. of the West Virginia Central.
after going over that road, has reported
adversely TO its acquisition by the West
Virginia Central. He says that a more
direct line. and one better suited to the
purposes of the West Virginia Central,
can be built for less money than the
chesapeake Western can be bought for.
He has ordered his surveying corps to
prepare for winter work, and they have
taken an entire floor in one Of the office
buildings in HarrisOnburg for office
quarters.
These things, and the further fact that
the Gould Davis Elkins combination has
been buying connecting links in the line
from the Lakes TO Gloucester Point,
seem TO point to the early projection OF
the road to Harrisonburg.
Since definite information has been OBJ
tanned that the Chesapeake Western will
not figure in the Gould eastern cOnnec-
ton. it is interesting to speculate what
part that road will play in the railroad
situation OF the future, and what its aims
are.
Ii is suggested that, through the
Chesapeake Western, the SeabOard Air
Line hopes to reach the coal fields OF
West Virginia.
