Nolichucky River Crossing of the C. C. A O. Ry., Unaka Springs , Tcnu. 
 
 At this point the railroad enters and .follows for eight miles a gorge, the scenery of which has no equal east of the Rocky 
 Mountaiiis; the mountains forming the sides of this gorge rise almost vertically to over 1,200 feet above the river; theroadbed 
 of the railroad is hewn from the solid rock for the entire distance; through this gorge passed Daniel Boone, in his early 
 explorations, and the band of patriots that fought the battle of Kings Mountain.

 OPENED FOR TRAVEL 
 
 HE recent opening to public travel of the 
 Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio Railway 
 establishes a connecting link long desired 
 between the middle West and the Carolinas. 
 Separating these parts of the country are the two 
 prominent ranges of the Appalachians, the Cumber¬ 
 land and the Blue Ridge Mountains, so that heretofore 
 it has been possible to pass from one of these sections 
 to the other only by circuitous routes around the foot¬ 
 hills of the main ranges. 
 
 The existence oi the Carolina, Clinchfield and 
 Ohio Railway has been made possible by a com¬ 
 bination of rare foresight of the promoters of this 
 wonderful piece of railroad construction with the 
 skill of the associated engineering talent. The line 
 is now under operation from the coal fields of 
 Russell County, Virginia, through the states of Vir¬ 
 ginia, Tennessee and North Carolina to Bostic, N. C., 
 where connection is made with the Seaboard Air Line 
 on the line to Charlotte and Wilmington, N. C.,

 on the Atlantic Coast. Construction work is so far 
 advanced south of Bostic that trains will be operated 
 to Spartanburg, S. C., early in the fall of 1909, while 
 the work of extending northward from the Virginia coal 
 fields to connection with the Chesapeake and Ohio 
 Railway at Elkhorn City, Ky., is just being undertaken. 
 
 Leaving Dante, Va., the present northerly termi¬ 
 nus, the road follows successively the valleys of Lick 
 Creek and Clinch River for forty miles to Speer's 
 Ferry on the Virginia & Southwestern Railway, where, 
 after passing through the prominent ridge of Clinch 
 Mountain by means of a tunnel seven-eighths of a 
 mile in length, it follows the Holston River to the 
 beautiful valley of Kingsport, Tenn. From Kingsport 
 to Johnson City, Tenn., a series of wide valleys and 
 corresponding ridges are crossed at nearly right angles 
 to their general direction. From Johnson City, Tenn., 
 to Unaka Springs, Tenn., twenty miles south the road 
 follows the valleys adjacent to the Cherokee and 
 Buffa'o Mountains. From Unaka Springs, the road 
 passes for eight miles through the gorge of the 
 Nolichucky River, the name of which changes to Toe 
 River at the State line between Tennessee and North 
 Carolina, and after following this stream for forty- 
 seven miles, reaches the summit of the Blue Ridge 
 at Altapass, N. C., at elevation 2,629 feet above sea 
 level. After passing through the summit tunnel, the 
 wonderful loop development down the south side of 
 the Blue Ridge affords the traveler an opportunity of 
 noting one of the finest pieces of railroad engineering 
 construction east of the Rocky Mountains. This 
 slope is so steep that in order to maintain the low 
 grade and overcome, in a direct distance of four miles, 
 a vertical height of nearly thirteen hundred feet, it has 
 been necessary to wind the road for a distance of over 
 twenty miles around and through the ridges extending 
 out from the main Blue Ridge. Seven passes, or 
 stretches, are necessary in forming the loops, and 
 seventeen tunnels are passed through in as many 
 miles. Here the traveler may enjoy a scene of mag¬ 
 nificence and beauty equalled scarcely anywhere else 
 on earth. Mt. Mitchell, Clingman's Dome, Hawk Bill 
 and Table Rock may be observed in the same wonder¬ 
 ful panorama of mountains and valleys. 
 
 An inspection of the loop map will indicate clearly 
 the condition described. 
 
 After descending the slopes of the Blue Ridge the 
 
 road follows the valley of Catawba River to Marion, 
 N. C., and after passing through the last tunnel, finally 
 follows the Second Broad River to Bostic, N. C. 
 South of Bostic, N. C., on the line to Spartanburg, 
 the road will cross the large valleys of such important 
 streams as Broad and Pacolet rivers, 
 
 The engineering and scenic features of interest 
 along the road are so inter-related that they can best be 
 described together. During the convulsion of nature 
 in which the Cumberland and Blue Ridge Mountains 
 were formed, a series of similar intermediate ridges 
 were also thrown up. The general trend of these ranges 
 is from a northeasterly to a southwesterly direction. 
 The natural water courses, and hence the main lines 
 of railway travel, follow for this reason the same gen¬ 
 eral direction. To construct a railroad at practically 
 right angles to these ridges and still maintain a low 
 grade upon which to haul long trains economically, 
 therefore, requires construction work of a magnitude 
 heretofore considered prohibitive in the section of 
 country passed through by the Clinchfield Route. 
 
 Over every mile of the distance from Dante, 
 (Russell County), Va., to Spartanburg, S. C., in the 
 heart of the cotton manufacturing district of the South, 
 can be found scenery to interest the traveler. From 
 St. Paul, Va., where the road crosses the Clinch Valley 
 Division of the Norfolk & Western Railway, to Starnes 
 Station, rugged hills interspersed with wide valleys 
 greet the eye. These hills contain the southerly edge 
 of the coal-bearing strata. The teps of the hills are 
 broad and plateau-like and afford excellent opportunity 
 for farming and grazing. 
 
 At Starnes Station the road passes to the east side 
 of the river and from this point to Speers Ferry, a 
 distance of about ten m.les, the roadbed is chiseled 
 from the solid cliff and crosses a succession of short 
 and unusually deep ravines. Ordinarily such open¬ 
 ings would be crossed with trestle or steel viaduct con¬ 
 struction. The Clinchfield road, however, in its de¬ 
 sire to construct a road that should be low in future 
 maintenance charges and absolutely safe for the travel¬ 
 ling public, has constructed enormous embankments 
 of solid rock in these openings, some of which reach a 
 depth below the track of over 125 feet. 
 
 At Speers Ferry the road leaves the valley of 
 Clinch River and passes to that of Holston River by a 
 tunnel through Clinch Mountain, the rugged crest of 
 
 3 
 
 4 
 
Clinchfield and Ohio Railway 
 
 Carolina, 
 
 which mountain can be seen extending in both direc¬ 
 tions further than the eye can reach. The remarkable 
 sharpness of the crest of this hill is due to the peculiar 
 hardness of the white Clinch sandstone forming it. 
 
 From Clinch Mountain tunnel the road rapidly 
 reaches Kingsport, Tenn., passing through rock cuts 
 of considerable depth and following Opossum Creek 
 and Holston River. At Kingsport the valley widens 
 into a most fertile plain, flanked on either side by 
 ranges of hills. 
 
 From Kingsport to Johnson City the road passes 
 across a series of wide valleys and corresponding hills. 
 The uniformity of direction and the agricultural value 
 of these valleys will be noticed. 
 
 The valley of Indian Creek and Nolichucky River is 
 entered at a point about sixteen miles south of Johnson 
 City, known as Erwin, Tenn. At Erwin will be situated 
 the general shops and the main classification yard of 
 the road. Just south of Erwin, at Unaka Springs, the 
 road enters the wonderful gorge of the Nolichucky 
 River. For a distance of eight miles the mountains 
 rise precipitously to the height of over 1,200 feet above 
 the river, affording scenic beauties such as are rarely 
 
 found in the eastern part of the United States. Through 
 this gorge passed Daniel Boone, in his early explora¬ 
 tions of the country, and also the band of patriots that 
 moved into South Carolina to fight the well-known 
 battle of Kings Mountain, probably one of the most 
 notable and decisive battles of the American Revolution. 
 
 At Altapass, N. C., the summit of the Blue Ridge, 
 the road passes through a tunnel about one-third of a 
 mile in length, and as previously mentioned, descends 
 a vertical distance of over 1,300 feet in order to reach 
 the valley of Catawba River. Adjacent to the Blue 
 Ridge can be seen Linville Mountain, at the foot of 
 which flows the main tributary to Catawba River. 
 Projecting from the main Blue Ridge are a series of 
 lesser hills that extend at almost right angles. In 
 forming the loops, shown on the loop map, it is necessary 
 to frequently pass twice through the same projecting 
 hill; this is most noticeable in the case of Pine Ridge, 
 Bridle Path Ridge, Washburn Ridge, etc. To cross 
 the ravines between these outlying hills necessitates 
 solid embankments ranging in height to over 125 feet. 
 It is interesting for the traveler to note the various 
 stages, or passes, of the road while passing over this

 remarkable piece of engineering construction. As 
 many as four stretches of road can be seen at as many 
 different elevations from a single view point. 
 
 Just south of Marion, N. C., where connection is 
 made with the Asheville Division of the Southern Rail¬ 
 way, the road passes through the last tunnel and enters 
 the valley of Second Broad River, which it follows 
 through a fertile country to Bostic, N. C. South of 
 Bostic the country, while still considerably broken by 
 hills, is more of a rolling nature as far as Spartanburg, 
 South Carolina. 
 
 In commercial possibilities the country penetrated 
 by the Clinchfield Route is second to none. North 
 Carolina can be truly termed a mineral paradise, In 
 this state can be found deposits of iron, zinc, nickel, 
 mica, kaolin, lime-stone, marble, and even precious 
 stones such as aquamarines, emeralds and garnets. 
 
 In southwest Virginia are found the vast deposits 
 of bituminous coal that mean so much to the life and 
 prosperity of industries that can be located along the 
 Clinchfield Route and to the large cotton manufac¬ 
 turing districts south of' the Blue Ridge. These 
 deposits are of a quality equal to the best for steam, 
 gas, cooking and domestic purposes, and in quantity to 
 suffice for hundreds of years. 
 
 Timber for wood-working industries of all kinds 
 exists in unlimited supply throughout the length of the 
 road. These timbers comprise oak, maple, chestnut, 
 pine, poplar, hickory, walnut, ash, beech, birch, cu¬ 
 cumber, locust, flowering dogwood, etc.

 The altitude of over 1,700 feet above sea level 
 overcomes the difference in temperature that might 
 be expected in the latitude of the territory reached by 
 the Clinchfield Route. The climate is in all respects 
 essentially that of the New York and New England 
 territory, but the winters are much shorter and less 
 severe. The Records of the U. S. Weather Bureau 
 show that this locality is the coolest in the summer 
 of any point in the Eastern United States. For this 
 reason the territory is well adapted to farming, grazing 
 and fruit-growing. At the present time the counties 
 situated in North Carolina just south of Johnson City 
 are sending to market apples of a quality not sur¬ 
 passed in any part of the United States. Even the 
 rough hill-slopes can in most cases be made to yield 
 large quantities of such fruits as apples, pears and 
 grapes. The existence on every hand of lime-stone 
 that can be burned for lime to serve as fertilizer for 
 the land is of itself of great commercial value. 
 
 From the rugged nature of the country contiguous 
 to the Clinchfield Route, a vast amount of water, 
 power is available for development, and should in the 
 future interest capital, especially when it is considered 
 that adjacent to these streams exist excellent oppor¬ 
 tunities for the location of manufacturing towns to pro¬ 
 vide constant market for the power generated in the 
 streams. The healthful climate and the proximity of 
 raw materials and supplies, such as coal, ore, lime¬ 
 stone, cotton, etc., should make of this region a man¬ 
 ufacturing center.

 To the pleasure and health seeker, the 
 Clinchfield Route should prove especially 
 attractive. At Johnson City the National 
 Government has established the Moun¬ 
 tain Branch Home for Veterans. It has 
 expended several millions of dollars in 
 transformingthegrounds into a magnificent 
 public park, and built miles of macadamized 
 roads that encircle the beautiful buildings. 
 
 Near Erwin, Tenn., just south of John¬ 
 son City, the government has established a 
 hatching station for fish. The wonderful 
 purity and even temperature of the water 
 make this one of the best locations in this 
 part of the country forpropaga ting purposes. 
 
 At Unaka Springs, Tenn., is found a 
 spring noted for its curative powers for kid¬ 
 ney and liver troubles. The scenery at 
 this point also attracts visitors yearly.

 the favorite summer resorts of the country, once its 
 natural beauties are known. This section is in the 
 heart of the Appalachian Forest Reserve now being 
 seriously considered by the Federal Government. If 
 ever a spot were admirably situated to become a 
 national park this section is ideal. 
 
 The hills of the Blue Ridge range to a height of 
 over 4,000 feet above sea level and afford scenic 
 splendor that is not duplicated in the eastern part of 
 the United States. From the Blue Ridge range can 
 be seen Mt. Mitchell, the highest point in the eastern 
 United States, 6,711 feet above sea level. Other 
 prominent ranges are also in plain view; Table Rock, 
 Hawk's Bill, Grandfather Mountain, and Roan Moun¬ 
 tain are most conspicuous. Over eighty peaks exceed¬ 
 ing 6,000 feet in height are also in this vicinity. 
 
 But a few miles removed from Linville Falls Sta¬ 
 tion, the falls of Linville River are located. This is a 
 natural body of water that falls for a considerable 
 height over a sheer cliff. The angler can at this point 
 find enjoyment of the sport; rainbow trout, brook trout, 
 black bass and other game fish abound in the tributary 
 streams. The Linville River, in its deep rocky gorge, 
 extends to disciples of Izaac Walton opportunities 
 seldom equalled. Those seeking scenery as well as

 rest and ozone-laden breezes will find all that could be 
 desired. In springtime this region is also the delight 
 of the botanist. The early blossoms of the trailing 
 arbutus soon yield to the showy magnificence of the 
 azaleas and rhododendron. In the early summer the 
 slopes of the Blue Ridge constitute one mass of 
 blooming magnificence when all of these varieties are 
 in full bloom. The air seems charged with the natural 
 fragrance of these millions of blossoms. A recent 
 writer referred to this section in the following terms:— 
 
 “All the landscape gardeners, backed by all the 
 wealth and liberality of our modern Croesuses, could 
 not create such a show as the native flora of this 
 region offers in May, June and July. This is the time 
 for horseback rides, and tramps, for the days are never 
 hot and the ever-changing panorama of the mountains, 
 the steep sides of Linville gorge, and the winding, 
 wooded roadsides and trails, all richly decorated with 
 these gorgeous masses of bloom, make one marvel 
 that nature has been so lavish in her bestowal of 
 beauty upon this spot.” 
 
 “Nor does winter, a season scarcely deserving so 
 cold a name in this kind climate, put an end to the 
 display. Then we get the galax, leucothoe, winter- 
 green, ground pine, holly, heather, ferns, many kinds 
 of the most beautiful mosses, and other evergreens,

 NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC. 
 
 The time, special stops and train arrangements shown in this 
 folder are in effect on the date of its issue, and the time of 
 connecting lines is shown for the accommodation of the public. 
 All are subject to change without notice. This company does 
 not guarantee connection or the time and stops as shown in this 
 folder. Patrons are requested to apply to ticket agents for 
 definite information. 
 
 Agents will not sell tickets to points at which trains are not 
 authorized to stop. 
 
 GENERAL INFORMATION 
 
 TO 
 
 PASSENGERS 
 
 EQUIPMENT. 
 
 The train service and equipment of the Carolina, 
 Clinchfield and Ohio Railway are on an equality with 
 the accommodations afforded between the largest and 
 wealthiest cities of the North. Every car on these 
 trains is new, equipped with safety vestibule appli¬ 
 ances, lighted with electricity and heated by steam. 
 The coaches are provided with lavatories and smoking 
 rooms, and are of the most approved pattern. 
 
 STANDARD TIME. 
 
 All figures given herein are Eastern standard time 
 unless otherwise designated.

 GENERAL INFORMATION Continued. 
 
 TICKET OFFICES. 
 
 Ticket offices at all important stations are open 
 thirty minutes before departure of trains, and passen¬ 
 gers are requested to purchase tickets before boarding 
 trains. This will result in a saving of expense, as the 
 cash rates charged by conductors on trains are higher 
 than those charged by ticket agents. Passengers 
 should always procure tickets at regular railroad 
 ticket offices, as there are numerous expired and 
 counterfeit tickets in the hands of unauthorized 
 parties for sale, which, when presented, are rejected 
 by conductors. 
 
 ADJUSTMENT OF DIFFERENCES. 
 
 In the event of any disagreement with a conductor 
 relative to tickets, passengers should pay conductor’s 
 claim, taking his receipt, and refer the case for adjust¬ 
 ment to the Traffic Manager, who will promptly 
 return any overcharge. Conductors have no discre¬ 
 tionary power in such matters, and are governed by 
 rules which they are not authorized to change. 
 
 REDEMPTION OF TICKETS. 
 
 All tickets issued by this company are limited to a 
 continuous passage. If limit of such tickets expires 
 before used, they will be redeemed in accordance with 
 established rules, through the office of the Traffic 
 Manager. Passengers purchasing tickets, which for 
 any reason they do not use in their entirety, should 
 not attempt to dispose of them to unauthorized deal¬ 
 ers, as this company will fully protect original pur¬ 
 chasers from loss in cases where for satisfactory 
 reasons the tickets are not used, refunding the value 
 of the unused portion of such tickets, charging for 
 that portion used. Forward tickets, with full particu¬ 
 lars, by Express or Registered Letter, to the Traffic 
 M anager for adjustment.

 of regular baggage allowance, except where state laws 
 provide otherwise. 
 
 Bicycles will be checked and transported in baggage 
 cars only when accompanied by passengers present¬ 
 ing regular passage tickets. 
 
 BABY CARRIAGES, GO-CARTS AND
