About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from American Railways: The Chesapeake and Ohio Line Late the Virginia Central Line Two lines are w in the course of construction in the State of Ohio: one to meet the Chesapeake and Ohio Line at the mouth of the Big Sandy River, and the other to meet its branch line at Point Pleasant, both termini being on the Ohio River. The Chesapeake and Ohio Line is the shortest line between the chief cities of the west and the Atlantic seaboard. The distance from New York to Cincinnati, via the Erie and Atlantic and Great Western Lines is 862 miles. The distance from Philadelphia to Cincinnati, via the Pennsylvania Central and Pittsburgh, Columbus and Cincinnati Lines is 711 miles. The distance from Baltimore to Cincinnati, via the Baltimore and Ohio and Marietta and Cincinnati Lines, is 578 miles. The distance between Richmond and Cincinnati, via the Chesapeake and Ohio Line, is but 545 miles. By equated distance that is, allowing for difference in gradients and curvatures the Chesapeake and Ohio route to Richmond is less by 123 miles than the Baltimore and Ohio route. The distance, gradients and curvatures of the Chesapeake and Ohio Line being more advantageous than those of the other lines, will enable that line to convey produce from Cincinnati and other points in the west to the Atlantic seaboard, and thence by water to New York, 25 per cent. below the rates charged by the other lines. In other words, at the same rates of freight the Chesapeake and Ohio Line will be earning a greater net-revenue than the Baltimore and Ohio, and Pennsylvania Lines.
