You have to wonder how many other companies nationwide were built, <BR>>
like the Harmony Route, to satisfy the gigantic ego of the guy behind <BR>>
it. It went the long way to Butler (and probably drew just enough
<BR>> traffic from the Short Line to render it insolvent); New Castle was a
<BR>> long way off and although it had people, not enough of them wanted to
<BR>> go to Pittsburgh. In between was a lot of nothing, plus Evans
City <BR>> and Ellwood City. Oh, yes, there was also a nice camping
area along <BR>> the Connoquenessing that Mr. Boggs favored. He also
favored the most <BR>> expensive construction that could be had...only the
best.<BR>><BR>> Mr. Boggs built the line with the expectation that
everyone adjacent <BR>> to it would come to his department store.
This just didn't happen.<BR>> David McCahill compounded the misery by
acquiring the Short Line out <BR>> of receivership in about 1919...now he
had two companies that couldn't <BR>> earn a living, and when the bonds
came due, there was no money. Some <BR>> of the bridges sat for years
after abandonment because no one could <BR>> earn enough in scrap value to
justify the labor cost of dismantling them.<BR>><BR>> Just another
company that never should have been built.<BR>><BR><BR>While today, a fast
rail route to at least Cranberry would be
fantastic.<BR><BR><BR><BR>-------------- next part --------------<BR>An HTML
