N&W Cripple Creek Extension

[NW Mailing List]

Bruce quoted... 



>> It is very desirable that this Extension be completed, and the connection made 

with the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad as early as practicable, in 
order that the line may be in active operation and business developed prior 
to the opening of the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The line that 
will be formed by your Ohio and North Carolina Extensions will be the 
shortest and most direct route between the South Atlantic States and Chicago 

and the Northwest.

Aaaah... if only they had added "...and Pacific" to their corporate identity! Had they done so, they would no doubt have been hauling the hottest Limited of the country over a four-track speedway. It's all in the Marketing, ya know.
