 Battle of giants. The announcement that a 160- mile highway will be built between Harrisburg, capital of Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh gives the feature writers a chance to dig in their files of railroad history for the route will follow right of way that was purchased for great railroad, that was to provide route between New York and Chicago So far advanced the plans for this line - the South Penn - that William H. Vanderbilt who conceived and started it, had actually sunk $3000000 in construction work and pledged $60O0O00 total of $3000 900 being raised to finance the road Financial giants of the time, however stepped in and prevented the line going through fearing that six major routes from New York to Chicago would be one too many. So the bubble burst and all that left the bare outlines of railroad right of way, including nine tunnels through the Appalachian Mountains of western Pennsylvania. These will be utilized and the road will probably have the distinction of being of the straghtest 160-me auto roads built. Notice . it will be toll route
