Pacific RailroadRoutes and Objections Explored
A San Diego meeting reviewed Col J B Magruder’s report on three routes for a Pacific railroad from the Mississippi to the West. The Sierra Nevada obstacle defeats the first route, the second faces many natural hurdles, while the third route via El Paso to the Gila and Colorado is favored for distance, climate, mineral wealth, and harbors. The plan claims faster sailing times from San Diego to Canton and calls for a government survey and capital support, with Magruder to press the case in Washington.
