MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION.
PHILADELPHIA AND COLUMBIA RAIL ROAD.
This rail road, as originally designed, extends from Philadelphia to the town of Columbia, on the Susque- hannah river, and terminates at a point about thirteen miles below York Haven. The distance between these two places by the rail road is eighty-one and 3-4th miles. Following the line of the road from the inter- section of Vine and Broad streets, Philadelphia, for rather more than two and a half miles, you arrive at the foot of the Schuylkill inclined plane, which is about fifty feet above mean tide, on which level the road runs to this point. This plane is about two thousand seven hundred feet in length, and its elevation from base to summit is about one hundred and eighty feet. There is at the western extremity of the road another inclined plane at Columbia. This is near two thousand feet in length, and has an elevation from foot to head of ninety feet. Stationary steam power will be resorted to, to overcome these acclivities. The distance from the head of the plane at Philadelphia to the head of that at Columbia, exceeds seventy-seven miles, and in the whole of this distance, the elevation will not exceed thirty feet to the mile, a degree of ascent overcome with the ut- most facility by the aid of horse power alone, and for purposes of rail road transportation almost equivalent to a level. The average ascent, however, does not much exceed twenty-five feet to the mile.
The road is entirely graded, the cuttings and em- bankments generally slight. The highest point on the
*115
MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION.
line is at " the Gap," about thirty miles from Columbia. This cut is about thirty-two feet deep. The bed of the road here is five hundred and sixty feet above mean tide, three hundred feet above the head of the plane at Schuylkill, and two hundred above that of Columbia.
This road has been located with a peculiar view to its adaptation to steam power for the purposes of trans- portations, and the shortest radius of curvature occur- ring any where on the line is about six hundred and thirty feet, being six degrees of curvature in a chord of sixty-six feet, and this most desirable end has been at- tained, with but slight cuttings and fillings.
The country through which the road winds its way is unsurpassed in interest and beauty. The whole line of the rail road, and the Lancaster turnpike pursuing the same course, and alternately crossing each other, is for many miles richly studded with magnificent and imposing mansions, delightful villas, substantial farm houses and capacious barns and granaries, and for 20 miles present to the enraptured gaze the appearance of one extensive and continuous village, the abode of health, industry, and content, the home of the happy, the virtuous, and the frugal. But few towns of any consequence are passed in its route. Many streams, creeks, and rivulets are traversed by it by means of wooden structures, of the most substantial description, designed tastefully, placed judiciously, in their mechani- cal execution remarkable for their neatness, and well calculated for their durability and security. The Schuyl- kill is crossed by a splendid viaduct of stone, 980 feet long.
The most remarkable structures of timber are over the Great and Little Conestoga, near Lancaster. The one is 1400 hundred feet in length, and 34 in breadth,
*116
MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION.
resting on 10 piers-the other is about 1000 feet long, They are entirely completed. The road passes directly through the city of Lancaster, and from thence to its point of destination, Columbia, on the Susquehannah. Columbia is a thriving and flourishing town, with about 2500 inhabitants.
The original estimated cost of this work was $2,297,120, being about $28,173 per mile. From some departure, however, from the designed method of construction, the amount expended will, upon its completion, much ex- ceed this amount, and it would not be hazarding much to say that the final cost of the eighty-three and 1-4th miles between Philadelphia and Columbia, will reach $3,000,000.
From Philadelphia westward, 22 miles of the road are completed and in constant use. At about this dis- tance the Pennsylvania rail road, as this is frequently called, " par excellence," receives in the South Valley Hill, two miles west of Paoli, the West Chester Rail Road. This road commences at the flourishing borough of West Chester, containing about 2000 inhabitants. The distance from that place to its intersection with the Pennsylvania Road is about ten miles.
