| Rail Road Enterprise |
| The Knoxville Register states that the
enterprising Officers of the East Tennessee & Georgia Rail Road
got an Engine and four cars across the bed of the Holston River, at
the burnt bridge at Union, so that the freight and passengers can now
be transported between the Two destroyed bridges. In fact,
transportation over the whole line is now going on again with but
little interruption, thanks to the energy of its officers, one of who
wished to notify the Yankee Marauders that they left their work
incomplete when they failed to knock the bottom out of the Holston
River. Such a feat as running a train of Cars across the bed of a
river, through the water, has not, we believe ever before been
accomplished. |
