Synopsis
Excerpt from Proceedings of the General Meeting of Stockholders of the North Carolina Rail Road Company at Greensboro, July 10, 1851: With the by-Laws of the Company, As; Revised at Said Meeting
But with the innumerable advantages of the Canal, it affords too slow a passage for our progressive age. A superb Railroad has been laid down by its side from Buffalo to Albany, and is being extended along the shores of that natural canal, the Hudson river, to the city of New York.
This is exclusive of the New York and Erie Railroad, the greatest work of the kind yet completed in the world, which shoots off from the Hudson river thirty miles above the city, and crossing the waters of the Delaware, the Susquehanna, of lake Ontario, the Mississippi, and lake Erie, strikes the latter Lake at Dunkirk, 45 miles only from Buffalo - a total distance odd miles.
