That part of the line below Huntingdon has been located permanently;
thence to Logan's Narrows the calculations are based on a preliminary
location, and between this point and Blairsville upon an experimental
survey, with liberal allowances for contingencies. Between
Blairsville and Pittsburg the road has been carefully located. Upon
that portion of it, between Blairsville and Turtle creek, gradients
of 52-8/10 feet per mile have been admitted, which may be reduced to
50 feet per mile, by the expenditure of an additional sum of $40,000.
