Book Description

Excerpt from Third Annual Report of the Raleigh and Gaston Rail-Road Company, 1839 The cost of this work, as will be seen by reference to the. Report of the Chief Engineer, will not exceed the estimate before submitted by him. The transportation of produce has already far exceeded the most sanguine expectations of the friends of this work, notwithstanding the disad vantages under which it has labored, and the insufficient force employed. The receipts have averaged since the completion of the Road to Henderson, per month, and they will doubtless be much increased as the work progresses.
