engineer who planned the bridge.
Chief Engineer Benjamin H. La
trobe in 1850, mentions Oakland as
the newly founded village near Nc
Carty's Mill in the center of the
Glades.
A water tower was built in Oak
land. during this period, to supply the
engines 1t was used until 1880.
Rails were imported from England
until 1858, when many of the rails
We're manufactured at Mt. Savage
near Cumberland. Laborers were diff
ficult to produce, as many as $500
men would be brought from the east
ern cities and distributed at different
points, as far west as the Cheat river,
to work on the road under contractors.
Although. every inducement was Of
fered to detain them, more than half
of the men soon dispersed. Contracts
were given up and the Railroad Com
pany was compelled to construct nine
u tIl6 nlOSI ulllICuiL SSCIlOllo anu
eight large bridges. Tunnels and
bridges were more difficult on the
western slope of the mountains. Due
to an agreement made with the State
of Virginia the road had to be COM
pleted in 1853, therefore a temporary
track was laid over the top of the
hill near Tunnelton at a grade Of
500 feet to the mile. 1t was then
necessary to have the engine pull q
single car at time over the grade.
In June, 1852, the opening of the
road to Fairmont, on the Mononga-
hela River, was celebrated. A part of
a speech delivered on that occasion
refers "to the vast and terrific magni-
tude of the unfinished line of road
over which we passed this day, its
heavy entertainments, its tunnels, its
bridges, while they filled you with
wonder, seemed almost to defy the
