Railroad Mania and Pacific Trail Ambitions
A lengthy survey covers Ohio railroads with completed lines from Cincinnati to Sandusky and growing lines to Indianapolis and St Louis. It notes capital, mileage, profits, and projected networks including a proposed private and government backed Pacific railroad, with multiple routes and constitutional questions. It also reports on local tragedies and political violence, including the Cassius M. Clay incident and a fatal buggy crash in Greenwich township.
