DESCRIPTION OF SCENERY AND PLACES OF INTEREST ON THE PfllUDElPHlA I tEADIi MlllOiD M BRANCHES, ? OW little the above title serves to inform the reader of the extent of track controlled by f?*l^^^^ this road, its branches and connections ! It ^[^ is sufficient to say here, that the distance from Philadelpiiia to Reading is fifty-eight miles, while the approximate aggregate of miles of track I owned, leased, and operated is fifteen hundred. The two city depots of this Company are located at Broad and Callowhill and Ninth and Green streets. From the former through trains leave and arrive via Read- ing, Harrisburg, Williamsport, Lancaster, _^g Columbia, and points in New York State ^R and the West, while the latter depot is the ^^ .^cd^ THE SCHUYLKILL FROM COLUMBIA BRIDGE, C3; FALLS BRIDGE. Starting and arriving point of the through trains via the new and popular Perkiomen Route to and from Allentown, Mauch Chunk, Wilkesbarre, Elmira, all points on the Lehigh Valley Railroad, Erie Railway, points in New York State, the West and North-west. "WlSiSAiUcKON CKKKK. On the route from Broad and Callowhill we cross the Schuylkill at Columbia Bridge, while on the route from Ninth and Green we cross the same river at the Falls of Schuylkill. Between the two points is Belmont Station, at which is ^^^^^0m the entrance to the fa- mous Belmont Glen, justly known as one of the finest parts of Philadelphia's great Park. Thousands from the city and country visit it year- ly, and the " Beading Eaiiroad Company," as it is generally styled, runs for the accommodation of vis- itors what are called "Park Accommoda- tion" trains. Just be- yond the Glen lie the grounds on which are erected the buildings for the Exposition incident to the Cen- tennial Anniversary of ou r nation' s birth. The position of this road, its facilities, conveniences, and the territory drained, seem to insure an im- mense trade during the continuance of the Exhibition. South- ward from this point a track has been laid to the station of this Company at the Cen- tennial Grounds, where trains will land and take up all passengers coming to or going from the Exhibition. The station is in close proximity to five entrances to the Exhibition, and all arrangements will be made for the proper accommodation of the public. We are now fairly on the banks of the Schuylkill,— that river of which VALIiEY FORGE. SCHUYLKILL RIVER ABOVE POTTSTOWN. the poet Moore sang and wrote, on whose banks he found that rest, though slight, for which he had sought elsewhere in vain. But while we fain would quote from the writings of him who, it might, be said, immortalized this beautiful river, yet, as we have not reached a distance of five miles from our starting point, the thought of what is yet before us compels a leave-taking of Fairmount Park and Tom Moore's cottage, and with a glance at Laurel Hill Cemetery, across the river, encompassed by the eastern part of the Park, to pass on, following the windings of the river through Falls Village, Manayunk, and Conshohocken, at all of which are located large industrial establishments, until we reach Norristown. Our station here is named Bridgeport, and is the terminus of the Cheater Valley Branch ; while on the opposite or Norristown side is the terminus of the Norristown Branch, which has its depot in Philadelphia at Ninth and Green streets, and which has been almost parallel with us since leaving Falls Village. The river scenery becomes finer as we leave the thriving hamlets that extend westwardly, like a chaplet of beads, from Philadelphia, and form a part of its gigantic industries. As nature begins to assert her sway over the more distant waters of our river, the charm becomes more distinctly sylvan and bucolic. The current slips through a green garden, idle as a ribbon that lies on a beauty's lap, and all is like a dream of contentment. We now reach Valley Forge, so memorable for the sufferings of the patriot army under Washington during the winter of 1777-8. The country throughout this section is filled with, historical recollections, and many a Kevolutionary story, handed down from generation to generation, can be told to a ready listener. Just above this point the Perkiomen creek empties into the river. The valley through which this creek flows is noted for its unusually beautiful scenery, and its mineral and agricultural resources. It was the abode for many years of Audubon, the great naturalist, in whose works reference is made to many of the rare birds seeking rest and shelter there. The Perkiomen Branch follows the line of the creek named for about twenty-three miles, and abounds with picturesque views from hill and dale. Here the humble abode of the steady and industrious farmer, whose well- tilled ground gives evidence of his success ; here a neat small town with ancient church, the spire of which marks the village from afar; here some creek, tributary to the Perkiomen, taking its winding way through the hills ; then the hills themselves, silent and majestic, guarding the valleys and those who inhabit them. Collegeville, a place of considerable summer resort, six miles from Perki- omen Junction, is a thriving town, containing a number of fine boarding- houses, where good accommodations can be had during the summer months. Ursinus College, under the direction of the German Eeformed Church, is located at this point. Schwenksville, Green Lane, Pennsburg, Zionsville, and Emaus are all places of fair size, — Pennsburg and Emaus being the largest and most important. Allentown is the terminus of this branch and point at which connection is made with the Lehigh Valley Railroad, thus forming a new line to the Valley of the Lehigh, to points in New York State, the West, North-west, and Canada. It contains a population of fifteen thousand people and is the county town of Lehigh county; is situated on the south bank of the Lehigh river at the mouth of Jordan creek. The streets are regularly and tastefully laid out, being broad and clean and well shaded. A fine public square is in the centre of the city; in addition to which the presence of gas-lamps, hydrants, and horse-cars gives it an unmistakably metropolitan air. Here, too, we find in the stone bridge eighteen hundred feet long, spanning the Jordan creek by nineteen arches, the largest structure of the kind in the State. Among its industries Allentown boasts ten rolling-mills and iron-works, as well as woolen and planing mills, carriage and sash factories, and a host of similar minor establishments. It has three national banks, a handsome court-house and jail, three costly public school-houses, eighteen churches, nearly a dozen newspapers. Odd Fellows' and Masonic halls, a fine opera-house, and numer- ous other showy public edifices. The fair grounds, covering twelve acres in the outskirts of the city, contain a fine exhibition building, known as Floral SCHUYLKILL RIVER BELOW READING. Hall, a race-track, and stalls for one hundred head of horses and cattle. Among the private educational establishments, Muhlenburg College, founded in 1848, and the Allentown Female College are prominent. The scenery and natural curiosities of the city are Avell worth seeing. There are several romantic springs near by, much resorted to by strangers ; and from Bauer's Rock, close at hand, one may look down from an elevation of a thousand feet upon the rich and varied landscapes of the Saucon and Lehigh Valleys. At Allentown we connect with the Lehigh Valley Railroad for Slatington, Mauch Chunk, the Switchback Railroad, Wilkesbarre, Scranton, Waverly, Elmira, and Sayre. From the latter connections are made for Oswego, Geneva, and points on the New York Central Railroad ; while from Elmira connections are made with the Erie Railway for Buffalo, Rochester, Niagara Falls, points in Canada, the West and North-west. Watkins' Glen, twenty- two miles from Elmira, is reached over the Northern Central Railway. Let us now return to the main line of our road. Phoenixville (terminus of the Pickering Valley. Branch, eleven miles in length), at which is located one of the largest rolling-mills in the United States, — that of the Phoenix Iron Company, — is situated at the mouth of French creek, which flows through a remarkably fertile valley. The station here is of brown stone, and has a very attractive appearance. The train, 10 MOUNT CARBON. leaving the main track, runs directly under the sheds, thus preventing any danger from passing trains. Shortly after leaving this last-named point we pass into a tunnel, from which we emerge to cross the river to the bank oppo- site to that on which we have been traveling since leaving Belmont, and passing on through Pottstown, where the shops of the roadway department are located, and Douglassville, we cross, near their mouths, the Manatawny and Monocacy creeks. The river grows more brilliant mile by mile. Finally three great hills— Mount Penn, Mount Gibraltar, and Neversink— converge to make a handsome shelter for a town ; and here the river, after twisting into several curves and loops, all presenting most picturesque scenery, straightens out and introduces the city of Reading. Reading is a city with a population of about forty thousand, and stands third in the State. For variety in manufacturing interests it probably has no 11 TUMBLING RUN DAM, NEAR POTTSVILLE, rival, except Philadelphia. Here we find the rolling-mill, foundry, car, and machine shops of the Company, and a depot, without doubt, the handsomest in the State. A first-class restaurant and dining-saloon is connected therewith, aflTording an opportunity to satisfy the cravings of hunger and thirst. From Reading various branches start out, all trains over which arrive and depart from the one depot. From the large electrical clock in the tower, time is communicated to every clock in the interior of the depot ; consequently the passengers, ticket-sellers, train-master, engineer, conductor, and baggage- 12 JUST ABOVE PORT CLINTON. master are all using the same standard of time — that of Philadelphia. In a depot like this, where trains are constantly arriving and departing in- all directions, the value of such an arrangement is naturally suggestive to the intelligent mind. Here also can be seen the works at which the Company manufacture gas for use in the depot and cars. Westward runs the Lebanon Valley Branch, fifty-four miles, to Lebanon and Harrisburg, connecting at latter point with Pennsylvania Eailroad for the West, with the Northern Central Eailroad for the North, as also for 13 ii.iim!Ls. ^-.^ MAHANOY PLA>"E (LOOKING UP). Baltimore and Washing- ton on the South, and witli Cumberland Valley Eail- road. South of Lebanon, a distance of six miles, are the Cornwall ore de- posits, comprised in three mountains, called Grassy Hill, Middle Hill, and Big Hill. The ore is quite on the surface, forming a deposit of three hundred and twenty-five feet on the higher parts, and thinning out on the edges of the hills. The mass covers a hundred acres, and though it has been worked for more than a century, seems inexhaustible, as the deeper treasure remains untouched. Most of it is merely shoveled, like garden mould, from the hilltop and sides, and carried by cars to the furnaces. Diverging from the branch named at Sinking Spring, six miles from Reading, we have the Reading & Columbia Railroad, on the line of which is located Ephrata and Litiz Springs, two very popular summer resorts, at which will be found first-class hotel accommodations. This road has 14 KAVINE AND HEAVY'GKADE NEAK FRACKVILLE. termini at Columbia (forty-five miles) and Lancaster (forty-two miles). The former, like Harrisburg, is situated on the Susquehanna river. The valleys in which both of these branches are located, as well as that east- ward from Eeading to AllentoAvn, on the Lehigh river, through which runs the East Pennsylvania Branch (thirty-six miles long), are of the greatest fertility, and are in the garden counties of the State, viz., Berks, Lancaster, Lebanon, and Lehigh, the aggregate value of whose agricultural products were in 1874 upwards of $78,000,000, while the manufacturing industries are estimated as having equaled $75,000,000. Exhibitions of varied interests to this value are rare indeed. We have left the Schuylkill and have gone to the Susquehanna and Lehigh ; let us now return to our old companion. Passing north from Beading, the farm land begins gradually to struggle with the mountains, the latter getting the final victory, with, of course, an advantage in favor of the picturescjue, 15 Piercing the mountain, the road emerges at Port Clinton (seventy- eight miles from Philadelphia). Here the two forks — the Schuylkill and Little Schuylkill — join. The streams rise not far apart in the coal hills of the north, and, describing two great curves, meet at the point named. The station here is of an exceedingly tasty and antique brown stone and turreted roof, and has appearance. Fifteen miles to the northward the main line of this Company ends at Pottsville, before reaching which, however, we follow the twistings and windings of the river, passing Auburn, Schuylkill Haven, and Mount Carbon, from which various branches of the road penetrate the long valleys, seeking for coal. Pottsville (ninety-three miles from Philadelphia) has a population of about sixteen thousand, and is the centre round which revolves the immense trade of Schuylkill county. Passenger trains start several times daily, in almost all directions, and here, where the hotel accommodations are good, we would recommend as a headquarters for those who wish to spend several days in the coal regions. 16 i^^^^s^^^ LOWER GORDON PLANE. The Mansion House at Mount Carbon, one mile short of Pottsville and the junction of various branches leading into the lower and middle coal fields, we can heartily recommend as a first-class establishment in every particular. Its situation at the foot of Sharp Mountain, its surroundings, and the views of th© valleys and river, linger long in the memory of the visitor. We now return to Port Clinton, from which, in a northerly direction, runs the Little Schuylkil] Branch, The scenerv here is especially wild 11 MINE HILL GAP— >II>"E HILL RAILROAD. and romantic, and the tourist should be thankful that the pursuit of anthracite coal has caused railroads to be built through ravines and valleys which, under other circumstances, it would be almost impossible to penetrate. After traveling twenty miles, Tamaqua, a thriving town of five thousand inhabit- ants, is reached. Here we find a new and very tasty depot ; twenty minutes is allowed for dinner, which is quite refreshing after a ride of four hours, which is the time it takes the through Williamsport Express to run from Philadelphia to this point. To reach the thickest of the coal region, and to see the manner of mining and transporting coal, we now leave the direct line from Philadelphia to Williamsport and strike to the west, passing Mahanoy City, Girardville, Mahanoy Plane (where a branch to Shenandoah City leaves), Ashland, and Gordon, and thence out through Shamokin to Herndon, a water-side town on the Susquehanna, distant from Tamaqua sixty-three and one-half miles. At Mahanoy Plane, as its name implies, is an inclined plane for raising coal cars from the valley to the top of the mountain, from which they run by continuous down grade to Mount Carbon, spoken of heretofore. This plane is two thousand four hundred and ten feet long, rising in perpendicular height three hundred and fifty-four feet ; the summit is one thousand four hundred and seventy-eight feet above tide-water. At the head of the plane we are but GEKMANTOWN VALLEY — MINE HILL RAILROAD. twelve miles from Poitsville by rail. The object of the plane is apparent when the distance is computed from that point around through the valleys. Passing on through the towns enumerated, in and around which, at the collieries, is a population estimated at forty thousand people, we reach Gordon. This is the foot of the Gordon Planes, lower and upper. The lower has a length of four thousand seven hundred and fifty-five feet in a rise of four hundred and four, placing you one thousand two hundred and six feet above tide. The upper plane is somewhat shorter, though steeper,, and places you one thousand five hundred and ninety feet above tide. From the top or head the coal cars are run down to Schuylkill Haven, a distance of nineteen miles. In connection with the movements of the coal and general carrying trade of this Company on its main road and branches, it would be well to remark here that four hundred and ten locomotives, fourteen thousand nine hundred and seventy-five coal, three thousand eight hundred freight, and three hundred and ten passenger cars are required to remove it, and that during the fiscal year ending November, 1875, the tonnage of the road was, in coal, nearly six million tons, while that of merchandise was two million seven hundred thousand tons. The number of passengers carried amount to 19 six million nine hundred and thirty-eight thousand ; and when we state that since the Company has been in operation it has carried over forty-eight millions of passengers _-^ and never killed one, we say what we feel quite able to maintain, that this is more than can be truly said of any railroad in this or in any other coun- try. To the system of signal-towers and stone-ballasted track, steel rails have in many places been added, while the passenger trains are equipped with the Westinghouse improved air brake, ^ ^ and the Miller patent coupler, buffer, 'V-t"^ and platform. The conductors and \ train hands are efficient and polite, *^ are neatly uniformed, and thoroughly understand their business. The latter statement is, however rather super- fluous, as the record heretofore noted is the best evidence that can be adduced that they intelligently carry out the orders of their superiors. Before leaving the coal regions we must refer to a section which is in the 20 LORBERRY JUNCTION. valley to the westward of Gordon Planes. It is reached by leaving the main line at Auburn, and, after passing through the Pine Grove and Lorberry coal fields, we go up into what is called the Tower City and Brookside region. Here, while tlie disgorging mines pile up their dust-heaps all around you and the dull mules clamber to the lofty breakers with their loads of coal, the eye commands a distance which is full of enchant- ment. The direction of the valley is so straight that you are sure you can see all the way down to the Susquehanna river at Harrisburg. Along the vista the inequalities of the parallel mountain walls^jut out one beyond the other, forming accents of fainter and fainter blue in an interminable perspec- tive, until everything faints in a horizon of blinding azure and silver, — it is a painter's opportunity for toil and vision, — the practical and the ideal are most artfully blended. Let us now return to Tamaqua and start again northward, feeling, as one does after a good dinner, at peace with all the world. In this frame of mind we are in good condition to appreciate the beauties of the Catawissa Road, which will soon lie before and around us. Seated in the last car, watching the windings of the river as it toils around the mountains, we almost fail to notice that a gradual ascent is being made. We pass East Mahanoy Junction and reach Tamanend, where the through car from New York is attached, having come through over the Central Railroad of New Jersey and its Lehigh and Susquehanna and Nesquehoning Branches, via Easton, Allen- town, and Mauch Chunk. Leaving Tamanend, we pass Quakake, and, instead of being in the valleys, are getting up among the mountain^tops, passing through tunnels, winding 21 THE SUSQUEHANNA NEAK HEKNDON. around curves, on some of which it appears as if the rear part of the train was chasing the engine and in danger of making a collision. Here may be seen an American forest preserved in all its wildness, and as we wind around, climbing still higher and higher, we notice how much smaller the objects in the valley appear. Here and there we find an old cabin, sadly dilapidated, probably used by hunters years ago, or by the engineers when making the survey of the railroad. Still onward and upward goes the train, twisting and darting, until the summit is reached, We now feel somewhat relieved, for we 22 VIEW ON THE SUSQUEHANNA. OPPOSITE CATAWISSA. have unconsciously been partaking of part of the labor and strain in getting up the mountain ; every puff of the engine seemed to find an echo within us — an inclination to push or help in some way vaguely asserted itself, but now we rest and glance over what is before us. Some of the lower hills, com- pletely cleared of forest, have been cultivated to the summit ; others, in all their natural loneliness, are covered with pine trees, more stem and branch than leaves ; between them the valleys, dark and lonesome, with here and there a cultivated spot, which would look very bare and fp:f8aken were it np^ 23 for the snug little farm-house nestled by the side of the hill for protection from the cold blast* of the north ; the blue smoke that so gracefully curls from the chimney speaks not of coal, — wood still holds sway as fuel in these ralleys and promises to do so for years to come. In the valley, close to Girard Station, our attention is attracted to what for this region, one would term a fine old homestead. This at one time was the residence of Stephen Girard, to whom Philadelphia is so greatly indebted for his magnificent charities. The ground on which it stands is, we believe, part of that which was placed in trust to the city at the time of his death. Passing Mahanoy and Krebs Stations, we reach Kingtown, close to which is the first trestle over which the road crosses. This spans a narrow valley and is nearly one hundred and fifty feet high. From this point up to Catawissa there is a succession of narrow valleys, which are spanned in a similar manner as that at Kingtown, excepting that at Mainville, which is crossed by a first- class truss bridge, lately completed. It is here we get the first good view of Catawissa creek, as it rolls and lashes over its rocky channel. The scene is especially wild and picturesque. Looking, as you do, from a spot some hundred feet above, the creek seems but a narrow line along the mountains, — here and there it is lost to sight as it twists around the base of the mountain, seeking a channel. We are now approaching Mainville Water Gap, which, while possibly less grand than those of Delaware and Lehigh, yet shows an extremely enjoyable scene. The valley is highly cultivated, and is apparently completely sur- rounded. The creek seems to run straight into the mountain and then disappear from sight. We are completely hemmed in, and, while wondering which way we shall get out, we are in an instant around the mountain and the scene fades from view. As we cross the valley by the bridge, a fine view is obtained of the McAuley and Nescopeck Mountains in the distance. A few miles beyond this Catawissa is reached. This good old town is situated on the North Branch of the Susquehanna, at the mouth of Catawissa creek. It can be best described by the quotation of a part of an article published in a magazine last year : — "From the hill behind the old burg Thomas Moran once sketched and painted an enchanting scene— the creek in sight for fifteen miles, winding to meet the river through ravines embroidered with the dyes of an American autumn. The junction of the river and stream is here a superb scenic nucleus. Nature, after running the thread of a more narrow and continuous landscape drama, here suspends the plot, and lets fall a superb drop-curtain, painted with splendor and romance, which detains the spectator for a long while in delight and with no wish to proceed. The bluflf, below the town, two hundred feet high, conunands the groves of Catawissa Island, the long diorama of the 24 river, the old Btone-abutted county bridge, the railway bridge, and the banks shaded with verdure." Crossing the Susquehanna, Kupert, a junction station, is reached. Here connection is made with trains westward to Northumberland and north-east- ward to Wilkesbarre and Scranton, and by stage to Bloomsburg, a large manufacturing town, three miles distant. From here the North Branch of the Susquehanna is followed to Danville, an iron-manufacturing town, having a population of ten thousand. The value of the industrial products of Montour county for 1874 is estimated to equal upwards of $7,000,000, most, if not all, of which was produced at Danville. We are now fairly down into the valley, and moving north-westerly through Montour and Northumberland counties, — both good agricultural districts, — we reach the West Branch of the Susquehanna, on which, at this point, is situated the town of Milton, a most 'attractive place to those who desire a few weeks' rest and quiet. The hotels are fair in size and very well kept, the charges being moderate. The towns of New Columbia, Dewart, and Watsontown are now passed in rapid succession, in and around which we notice numerous saw-mills : these of course, indicate a lumber country, and as we have been gradually leaving coal and its regions, so also have we been, without apparent knowledge of it, surely creeping into the very heart of the largest lumber region in the State. Muncy, a fast-growing water-side town, the outlet of the lumber brought by rail and water from the Muncy creek region, is well favored with direct evidence of its industries. The same may be said of Montoursville, after passing which we are in a few minutes fairly within the limits of the city of Williamsport, where this road has its northern terminus, and where it con- nects with the Philadelphia & Erie Railway for Lock Haven, the oil regions, Erie, and the West, and with the Northern Central Railway for Elmira, Watkins' Glen, and Canandaigua, connecting at the former with the Erie Railway, and at the latter with the New York Central Railway, for Buffalo, Rochester, Niagara Falls, and all principal points in New York State, the Dominion of Canada, and in the Western and North-western States. Williamsport has a population of upwards of sixteen thousand. It is beautifully located on the West Branch of the Susquehanna, has a number of large hotels and fine private residences, excelling in these particulars any city of its size in Pennsylvania. The lumber business is the leading feature. A walk through what is called the " basin," among the mills, will cause you to wonder at the immensity of that interest. The stock of lumber, lath, and pickets on hand in this region, January 1st, 1874, amounted to three hundred and sixty- three million nine hundred and forty-seven thousand one hundred and sixty - five feet, of which two hundred and seventy-one million four hundred and 25 fifty-nine thousand three hundred and fourteen feet was pine lumber. This is independent, we believe, of the quantity in the mills, which is constantly being made into flooring-boards, doors, sash, window-frames, and other classes of mill work. This great corporation, over whose track we have passed, has many other interests than those following this article. It owns or controls one hundred and fifty-three miles of canal, and has an immense coal-shipping depot in the northern or Richmond district of Philadelphia. It owns fourteen steam- colliers, having an aggregate carrying capacity of fifteen thousand five hundred tons, in which it transport?, together with canal barges, large quantities of coal to the eastern markets. It has its own shipyard for building and repairing the colliers, and within itself manufactures nearly all of the principal material used in the operation of a railroad.
