of the Union and Pennsylvania canals,
through Mt. Joy to Lancaster City.
THE inhabitants of Harrisburg and
the residents of the Cumberland VAL
ley, who were looking forward to a
rail outlet to the seaboard, began urg-
ing Harrisburg as a terminal of the
road and the consequence was that the
Legislature by an act which was ap-
proved March IL, 1885, changed the
name of the road to the Harrisburg,
Portsmouth, Mt. Joy and Lancaster
Railroad company, and authorized its
extension to Harrisburg.
THE road was located in 1885 and

1886, that portion of it between Ports

THE practical working of the
Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad,
now the Philadelphia division, after
the purchase, demonstrated by 1859

motive power and operating the whole
line of the Pennsylvania railroad to
Pittsburgh in three divisions. This
caused the erection of general repair
shops at Harrisburg and the aban-

Altoona and Philadelphia. On March
