Excerpt from Description of the Cincinnati Southern Railway From Cincinnati to Chattanooga: Giving Its History and a General Description of the Towns and Villages, Bridges, Tunnels, &C. Through Which It Passes; Description and Resources of the Country, and a General Guide to Business Houses and Places of Interest in Cincinnati, and Points of The

The opening of the Cincinnati Southern Railway marks an epoch in the history of Cincinnati, the magnitude of which is not fully realized. We compute in figures the enormous cost of the road but overlook the immense developments being made by this grand highway of public travel. In Ohio and Indiana on the north and leading directly to Cincinnati, are 6,000 miles of railway, south of Tennessee and converging there are 4,000 miles; and this railway will be as the neck between them. It is estimated that the extent of country which will thereby become a market for our manufactures, and from which we shall draw its special products, embraces an area of about 200,000 square miles, equal to four times the State of New York. In this vast territory there are a number of cities and large towns with no eastern or northern city so accessible as Cincinnati.

We have undertaken to collect and arrange from statistics and various other authentic sources, a brief but interesting history of Cincinnati, the Cincinnati Southern Railway and notable points on its line. We have quoted freely from Mr. Collins' excellent work on Kentucky, J. B. Killebrew's "Resources of Tennessee," and from various reports, &c., issued by the Board of Trustees.

We have embellished the work with numerous illustrations and engravings of places of interest in Cincinnati, and along the route.

The frequent delays caused by the want of prompt legislation and the heavy character of construction, have combined to postpone the completion of the road. On this account we have delayed the publication of our work until the question should be definitely decided, and work under way.

Believing that a great want has been met, we submit this work to the public.
