It will not be necessary to expend the whole of this amount until some time after the Road is in use to Pittsburg. As the business increases the turnouts must be lengthened, depots and shops enlarged, and the number of locomotives and cars added to. These will not reach the sum estimated until probably four years after the Road is completed, in connection with the Allegheny Portage. We shall also reduce the cuttings and embankments to a single track width, wherever the character of the excavations or a deficiency of material for embankment will justify the curtailment. This will effect a saving, in the first outlay, of about $450,000, which will not be required until the business demands a double track.
