TENNESSEE AND PACIFIC RAILROAD (in Progress).

Line of Road.-Nashville, Tenn., to Knoxville, Tenn... Nearly completed: Nashville, Tenn., to Lebanon, Tenn..........

[blocks in formation]

This Company is endowed by the State of Tennessee with bonds to the amount of $10,000 per mile, the proceeds of which are to be used only on the superstructure. The cost is estimated at $7,000,000 or $39,500 per mile. When completed it will bring Nashville and Knoxville nearer to each other by 75 miles than by way of Chattanooga. Most of the line is uneven and crossed by numerous streams, which will necessitate heavy grades and extensive bridging. The line will ultimately be carried west from Nashville to Jackson and Memphis.
