 | | The Jersey Shore, Pine Creek, and Buffalo Railway Company was organized in the spring of 1870, under a grant from the Legislature of Pennsylvania of a charter containing very ample powers and privileges. |
 | | From Jersey Shore to Port Alleghany the country is well adapted to the manufacture of iron, and is probably, all things considered--cheapness of materials, nearness to market, etc.--the best location for the production of agricultural implements, building materials, car-building, and tanning in the United States. |
 | | For all this immense trade the Pine Creek route will be in a very favorable position to contend, being the shortest line, with the lowest grades to the sea-board, occupying a still more formidable position when we come to consider the coal trade from Pennsylvania to the lakes and Canada. |
