t
What it will cost to build tho Fairfield C
Portion of a road between t,ho two t
points.
Jlressrs. Edors :
While keeping steadily in view
the reat heienfits to be received by
this railroad ats a whole, lot us for 1
the present consider the cost, and I
how we can build only the first C
link-that which is to us the most
important as insuring immediate a
and certain return for the moans h
e.xpended upon it-viz., the line
ti
between Chester and Winnsboro.
ilThe distanco betweon those points o
by the C. C. & A. R. R. is twenty- c
seven miles. From my knowledge
of the country and of the C. C. &
A. R. R., I am quite sure that this s
narrow-gaugo road can be built S
with a length not exceeding twenty
six miles, and probably less. The
1maximum grade of the C. C. & A.
I. 1t. being only 52 and 8-10 feet per
mile, it was necessary to keep the
line upon the ridge, or as near to
it as possible ; and this involved
in several places very serious loss t
of distance. With a grade of 105 t,
feet per mile, our narrow-gaugo C
road can leave the "divide" and cut
off those long detours. We can
safely, then, estimato for only
twonty.-six miles of line.
The Chester and Lenoir N. G.
I. It. has cost $6,000 per mile,
including equipment. But I learn c
by an inspection of this road that
there is very little really light grad
ing upon it, and a large proportion
of quite heavy work. There is one
b-)ridg-c that cost nearly $2,000, and
,,it is approached by a trestle fifty
feet high and four hundred feet
long. There are at least three
other beavy trestles. I am inform,
od that the entire work was lot by E
contract, at a time when labor was
certainly twice as dear as it is now;
and the iron cost just about double
its present price. Of course spikes,
fish-joints, bolts, cross-ties, etc.
are all proportionately cheaper now.
Locomotives, cars and every kind
of equipment are unprecedentedly
cheap. Again, the very limited
grade of the C. C. & A. R. R. in
volved heavy work at several points.
The greater latitude, both as to
gradient and curvature, practicable
upon narrow-gauge roads will
enable us to avoid all this expensive
work, and build alnost a surface
line. There will not be a single
bridgo or trestle, excepting a few
mere wvatersways in ease we leave the
ridge to save distance.
We see, then, that the cost per
mile of the Chester and Lenoir
Railroad is not a fair criterion by
whichi to estimate Ours. It is per- I
fectly safe to say that we can build
and equip our r'oad for between
$4,000 and $4,500 per mile, the
latter being in all probability the I
ma.rimu)f figure. Twventy--six
miles, then, would cost from $104,- I
000 to $117,000, complete, with 1
such i oiling stock as would do all. I
the business of so short a line.
But, Me1ssrs. Editors, it has 1
occurred to me that if we build the I
road, we can easily make an arrange
ment with the Chester and Lenoiri
Railroad Company to oper'ate it for I
us upon very favorable terms, and
thuns we could save, at least for the
prlesent, the heavy outlay for equip
ment. Thlat company could operate I
this additional distance without at I
'all increasing their outfit, and, in I
consideration of the groat benefit i
derived from so important a feeder, I
could affo)rd to (10 so at nominale
rates. As we extend tihe road (
southward, and begin to' assume I
the proportions of a through line, t
we can by purchasing gradually out -
of our earnings the necessary roll-, a
ing stock, operate it ourselves as s
the "Chester and Georgetown Rail- a
road." Of course, if we can raise I.
the money it will be true economy t
to buy engines and equipments at 9J
the present extremely low prices ; I
but I mention the above plan to g
showv that we can devote our entire
energies to building the road /irse,
with a reasonablo prospect of 12
having it worked for us by a tom- I<
pany which is now well versed in t
the management of the narrow- 1
gaugo railroad, and wvhose interosts a
re identical with ours. Looking,
hen, to the simplo construction
f the railroad, we can safely 'assume
hat $104,000 is the amount to be
rovided between Chester and
Vinnsboro.
Lot mo say, Mossrs. *0Eitors, in
oncluding this letter, that it is not
ly intention to ignore our- enter,
rising sistor town Qf Ridgeway.
Enowing full well that she will
artainly insist upon having "a
lace in the picture," I have con
idored well the probable. line, and
in convinced that the grad,ing
onceo to Ridgeway will be even
ghter por mile than that to' choi
r. The ridge is so very ;smooth
hat the C. C. & A. R. R. 'with its
x.coptionally easy grade, shows ex
Lodingly light work; and oven
hi can be greatly lessened by our
iora accommodating gradn and
urvature. If, then, Ridgeway in
ists on being counted in, we must
imply add to our estimate $48,000
)r the twelve milos lying between
s, and the problem to be solved
tands thus:
'rom Chester to Winnsboro,
say...............$104,000.
'rom Chestor to Ridgeway,
say............. $152,000.
I invito our citizens to study
beso figures ; not to be scared by
hen, but rathor to preparo to me.et
4en ; and thus secure the in
stimable blossings that earnest'and
tnited effort will certainly deserve,.
nd must assuredly win.
