MARKER PLACED ON GLASGOW
ROAD.
Along Route OF Old Frenchtown
Railroad,

| A marker, showing where the famous
crossed the Glasgow road was placed near
the residence of Dr. Cam. last Saturday,
by the Cooches' Bridge Chapter of the
Daughters of the American Revolution.
The old Frenchtown and New Castle
| railroad is notable in the history of travel
in America, since it was the first upon
which steam power was applied TO the
transportation of passengers.
The railroad, which was seventeen
miles long, was located between French
town on the Elk river. and New Castle on
the Delaware. The railroad was finished
in 1881. The tolls on the road were not
to exceed three cent per ton per mile
on freight and the fare for the transporta-
ton of passengers was not to exceed
twenty-five cents per passenger for the
whole distance, and twelve and one-half
cents for baggage and exceeding one
hundred pounds. Horsepower was
used on the road for about two years.
One horse was attached to each car, and
the horses were changed at Glasgow and
the Bear. which were the two stations on
the road.
The first locomotive steam engine was
used in 1883. The engine. built 10 Eng
land, was named the Delaware" It
had been procured at great expense. and
was put together with great difficulty.
But when all this had been accomplished
the company found their trouble had
just begun, for they had no way of
supplying the monster with water.
Finally it was supplied with the indispen-
sable fluid from the springs and wells
along the road. Although the locomotive
was several days in making the first trip,
it soon covered the distance in about an
hour. There were no grades and the
time could have been reduced had not the
speed been limited for fear of accidents.
The business of the road began to
decline rapidly after the construction of
the Philadelphia. Wilmington and Balti-
more railroad, The bed of the old road
is now under cultivation. the farmers
having resumed the use of the land after
the discontinuance of the road.-Newark
