Nashville Union And American

The Difference.
In this rapid age when railroads are hardly fast enough to supply the demand for rapid transportation, it is not to be wondered that two separate and distinct lines should sometimes be given names very similar to each other. As an instance of the fact, the road from here to Chattanooga is sometimes, for the sake of brevity, called "the Chattanooga road." For the sake of the same thing, the road about being commenced between Cincinnati and Chattanooga is also called "the Chattanooga road." The only real difference between the two is that one only runs from Nashville to Chattanooga, while the other extends all the way from Cincinnati to that point. Hence the paragraph stating that Benjamin Eggleston is determined not to accept the position of Trustee of the Chattanooga railroad will be better understood when an anxious public is informed that the projected line from Chattanooga to Cincinnati is the road with which Mr. Eggleston declines to be associated as trustee. There is this difference, if nothing more, between the two roads mentioned.
