By Water and by Rail Freight Expansion Proposal
The National Board of Trade urged a double track freight railroad from western grain sources to the Atlantic water line. With 230 ton boats and double locks, using only 300 days a year, it could move over 16 million tons each way. The system would speed loading but raise handling costs, keeping canal and rail competition over rolling freight confined to the navigable season.

Pacific rail link eyed to connect California and Oregon
The Pacific coast community values railways as vital to growth. By October 28 the first Central Railroad rail was laid at East Portland, with Oregon and California lines advancing toward a boundary meet to form a 600 mile trunk. Progress includes 20 miles of Oregon and 30-40 miles of California work this year. The route traverses fertile valleys, with no major obstacles for at least 400 miles, linking Sacramento Stockton Visalia and the Southern Pacific. The project promises a chain from the Columbia river to the Colorado via Utah and California, with an ultimate northern end at Puget Sound.
