AND E.T., V.& G. RAILWAYS. The mileage changed of the L&N. and E.T., V.& G. systems combined aggregates 3,622 miles. The total cost of these two roads. $331,492.59 Or an average per mile of 91.52 Total miles changed was about 14,500 miles. Which would give total cost, at same rate. $1,327,040 We should really add to this a large sum for the great number of new locomotives which were purchased to replace old ones, that could not be changed, except at large cost, and which, when done, would have been light and undesirable. |
