bridges. At the present time
three span arch bridge is being
built near Doe Run and this will
leave but two bridges along the
entire road OF any size that are
not iron. They will also be re-
placed by the modern iron bridges
in a short time.
While the large number OF
bridges alone is sufficient to make
this road a notable one, yet it can
also boast OF running through as
historic a section of country as
there is in the United States.
Every mile of it is rich in history,
and the scenery at points surpasses
many places that tourists go hun
dreds of miles to see.
The Newark and Pomeroy Rail
road was built by an independent
company in 1873. The purpose
was to reach tidewater from the
main line of the Pennsylvania, es-
pecially for the hauling of coal.
The road was continued through
Newark and on to Delaware City,
on the Delaware river and at the
Delaware end of the Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal. For num-
Der of years it was run as was the
original intention of hauling coal
to tide water. Some years ago
the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad got
control of the road and in latter
years it has only been operated
between Pomeroy and Newark,
andf or just general traffic busi-
ness.
The road is also noted for it's
turns and bends. 1t and White
Clay Creek turn and bend so much
that in the course of a few miles
the railroad crosses that stream
alone I3 times and this accounts
:ort he many bridges. After it
gets further away from Newark it
also strikes the beautiful and his
toric Brandywine and crosses that
stream no less than seven times.
The road passes through such
historic places as Landenburg,
Avondale, Chatham, Doe Run,
Buck Run, and other places oi
historic interest. 1t passes within
about one mile of Toughkenamon
where is locatedt he famous Ham
mer and Trowel Inn, said to be
| the second oldest hotel in the
United States, dating back tc
1888.

Road Of Many Bridges

The road of many bridges .
This title would be an appropriate
one for the Newark and Pomeroy
Railroad as the employees Of this
short line boast that there are
more bridges per mile on it than
any other railroad in the country
and probably in the world. The
road runs from Newark, Del, to
Pomeroy, Pa, a distance of 20
miles and there are total of 66
bridges or nearly three to the
mile.

were wooden structures, but after

A Suggestion

, About the first thing that
will come before the new city
council after they take their
seats will be the purchase of a
new fire team. The present
team has been in service
about fifteen years and are
still in good condition for gen
eral work but are getting too
old for strenuous work on the
fire wagon which weighs about
5000lbs. They have performed
their work faithfully during
their time of service and really
deserve a pension with nothing
to do but eat grass and muse
over their past eventful lives
but in the natural order of
things, this easy life will not
be accorded them, but may the
rest Of their days be easy, to
compensate them for the siren
uous work they have done in
their younger days. Two
small chemical tanks should al
so be purchased to be carried
on the hose wagon as a great
many fires could be handled
with these tanks so that it
would not be necessary to turn
on water. There is usually
more damage from wafer than
from fire.
