Show ' Make Find of Halls and Ties. What amounts almost to an archaeological arch-aeological railroad find has boon made recently In tho Allegheny river, between be-tween Oil City and Franklin, Pa.," says The Railroad Man's Magazlno.

This was tho first company to manufacture Iron for railroads west of the Allo-ghonlos. Allo-ghonlos. As tho Franklin branch of tho Erie when It was tho Atlantic ft Great Western, nnd tho Franklin & JamoBtown branch of tho Lakb Shore, both followed tho courso of tho rlvor, there would seem to bo somo doubt as to which of tho road lost a half-rallo half-rallo of track In a landslldo, without resort to further records. Tho Brady's Bend Company has boon out of business busi-ness for about forty years." |
