 The Directors of the CrmyenANp Ann Totepo Rat-Roap 
 
 Company have the honor to submit to the Stockholders 
 their 
 
 FIRST ANNUAL REPORT. 
 
 
 
 As the present Corporation was organized by the union 
 into one, of two distinct and independent companies, they 
 deem it proper to present a condensed introductory history 
 of the companies thus united, prior to their consolidation, 
 without which, the character and constitution of the present 
 Corporation may not be fully understood. 
 
 One of the companies thus united, was incorporated and 
 known by the name of the Junction Rail-Road Company, 
 and the other by the name of the Toledo, Norwalk and Cleve- 
 land Rail Road Company. The former was incorporated by 
 an act of the Legislature of Ohio, passed on the second day 
 of March, 1846; and the latter, by an act of the seventh of 
 March, 1850. The Junction Rail-Road Company by its 
 original Charter, and two several amendments passed on the 
 twenty-second of January, and the twenty-first of March, 
 1851, was authorized to construct a rail-road from the City 
 of Cleveland to the west line of the State by such route as 
 the Directors might determine, with power to construct bran- 
 ches to any points within the Counties through which the 
 main line might pass. The Charter of the Toledo, Norwalk 
 and Cleveland Rail-Road Company, authorized the construc- 
 tion of a rail-road from Toledo, by the way of Norwalk, in 
 the County of Huron, to a connection with the Cleveland, 
 Columbus and Cincinnati Rail-Road, at some point in the 
 County of Huron or Lorain. The authorized Capital Stock 
 of the Junction Company, was Three Millions, and that of 
 the other Company, Two Millions of Dollars, making the 
 
4 
 
 united Capital of the two roads Five Millions, which is con- 
 sequently the Capital of the consolidated Corporation. 
 
 The consolidation was effected, and the present Company 
 organized on the first of September, A. D. 1858, under the 
 specific provisions of the twelfth section of the amendment 
 to the Toledo, Norwalk and Cleveland Rail-Road Charter, 
 passed on the first of March, 1850. Under its Charter, the 
 Toledo, Norwalk and Cleveland Rail-Road Company con- ~ 
 structed a road from the East Bank of the Maumee River, 
 opposite the City of Toledo, to Grafton, where it connects 
 with the Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati Rail-Road, 
 twenty-five miles southwest from the Oity of Cleveland, 
 being a distance of eighty-seven and oie-balf miles, all of 
 which was finished and put into operation in the month of 
 January, A. D. 1853. 
 
 [t is well known, that the completion of this road finished 
 the last remaining link in the long and important line of 
 railway from New-York and Boston to Chicago, which has 
 since been extended to the Mississippi River, where it finds 
 a temporary resting place only in its progress to the far dis- 
 tant West. This road passes through several flourishing 
 towns, and is now denominated, the Southern division of the 
 Cleveland and Toledo Rail-Road Company. 
 
 At the time it was opened, its immediate afiluents were 
 the Cleveland and Columbus, the Sandusky and Mansfield, 
 the Mad River and Lake Erie, and the Michigan Southern 
 Rail-Roads. Other roads of importance, and which will add 
 most essentially to its business, are now under construction, 
 and will, at no distant time, be completed. 
 
 This road was built under the Presidency and direction of 
 Cuas. 8. Boatr, Esq., and was carried forward, from its com- 
 mencement to its completion, with untiring energy and 
 perseverance. Much was expected of it before it was put 
 into operation, but its business to this time has far exceeded 
 the most sanguine anticipations of its sagacious projectors. 
 
5 
 
 The Junction Road, or Northern Division as it is now 
 called, commences at the City of Cleveland, and, except a 
 necessary deflection to find a convenient locality for crossing 
 the deep bed of Rocky River, follows the Lake shore closely, 
 passing through several growing towns, among which is the 
 City of Sandusky, to its junetion with the Southern Division, 
 about eight miles east of Toledo, and ninety-nine miles from 
 Cleveland. [rom this point, a branch track is now being 
 laid down to Toledo on the road bed of the Southern Division. 
 The main irack here crosses the Southern Division, and ex- 
 tends forward through Perrysburgh and Maumee City, in 
 nearly a right line to its junction with the northern Indiana, 
 near Swanton, fourteen miles west of Maumee City, and one 
 hundred and twenty-five miles and eighty-six hundredths 
 from Cleveland. Counting the branch to Toledo as a part 
 of this division, its whole length is within a fraction of one 
 hundred and thirty-four miles. If to this be added the South- 
 ern Division, eighty-seven and one-half miles, the aggregate 
 line of road of the consolidated corporation will exceed two 
 hundred and twenty-one miles, exclusive of the side tracks 
 and turn outs. 
 
 The portion of the Northern Division between Cleveland 
 and Sandusky City, a distance of sixty miles, was finished 
 and opened for travel last fall, and is now in successful ope- 
 ration. The part of this division between Sandusky and its 
 intersection with the Southern Division, a distance of thirty- 
 nine miles, and the branch track from this point to Toledo, 
 eight miles, making an aggregate of forty-seven miles, will 
 be completed by the middle of the present month of July, un- 
 less some unforeseen accident, not now anticipated, should 
 happen to prevent it. The track laying on this part of the 
 road is now so far advanced, that its completion by that time 
 may be confidently counted upon. 
 
 That part of the Northern Division which lies between the 
 intersection of the two divisions, and the point where it 
 
6 
 
 crosses the Toledo and Llinois Rail-Road at Maumee City, a 
 distance of something less than thirteen miles, will be com- 
 pleted and brought into use during the present season—pro- 
 bably by the middle of October, or first of November—so 
 that before the close of navigation, about one hundred and 
 twelve miles of the main line of the Northern Division, and 
 the branch track of eight miles to Toledo, will have been 
 completed and brought into use. 
 
 This will leave unfinished at the close of this season, only — 
 
 the short space of fourteen or fifteen miles, between Maumee 
 City and the junction of this division with the Northern 
 Indiana Air Line Rail-Road, now under construction. The 
 report of the Engineer, shows that most of it is already gra- 
 ded, and that when necessary. that part of the road can be 
 finished in a few weeks time. It is not deemed important 
 to finish this last link in the road, before the whole line of 
 the Northern Indiana Road is completed and ready for 
 business. 
 
 The Southern Michigan, the Northern Indiana, the Toledo 
 and Illinois, and the Northern Division of the Cleveland and 
 Toledo Rail-Roads are of the guage of four feet eight and a 
 half inches ; and the roads running west from Chicago to the 
 Mississippi River, are of the same guage. 
 
 The Southern Division of the Cleveland and 'foledo Road, 
 is of the guage of four feet ten inches, and corresponds to the 
 guage of the roads which it intersects, and those with which 
 it is connected at its eastern terminus. 
 
 On the last named division, there is a break of guage at 
 its connection with the Michigan Southern, at the City of 
 Toledo. 
 
 By opening the Northern Division to Toledo, and also to 
 its intersection with the Toledo and Lllinois road at Maumee, 
 this great inconvenience will be avoided at both of these 
 points. 
 
 It is understood, and we may say reduced to a certainty, 
 
lard 
 ( 
 
 that the Toledo and Illinois Road will be opened during 
 the coming Autumn, from Maumee City to Fort Wayne, a 
 distance of ninety miles, and probably some thirty miles be- 
 yond the last named place. 
 
 That Road is destined to go forward into the Wabash Val- 
 ley, to its connection at Paris with the Terre Haute and 
 Alton Road, and to St. Louis by the way of Alton. It passes 
 through a country of unsurpassed fertility, and it cannot fail 
 to bring to the Cleveland and Toledo Road, a most impor- 
 tant accession to its business. The amount of trade and 
 travel that will flow in upon us from that great line of road, 
 will be second in magnitude to no other aftluent, except the 
 Michigan Southern and Northern Indiana: 
 
 The Northern Division was commenced and successfully 
 carried forward, under the charge of Judge E. Lanr, to the 
 time of the Consolidation ; when that was effected, the Direc- 
 tors did not deem it essentially necessary to press the work 
 to its earliest completion, since the Southern Division—which 
 was then in operation—furnished a temporary accommoda- 
 tion for the business that might be expected to be done by 
 both, while they were yet new and undeveloped lines of 
 trade and travel. 
 
 The report of the able and experienced engineer who has 
 had charge of the construction of that division of the work 
 from its commencement, will show its solid and substantial 
 character, and that the ruinous and expensive expedient of 
 slighting any part of the work with a view to lessen the first 
 cost of construction has been wisely avoided. From its solid 
 construction, slight curve, and low grades, we feel a confident 
 assurance that there is no road in the western country over 
 which better time can be made, or with more safety; and 
 that it will perform its whole duty as one of the links in the 
 great chain of Rail-Roads from New-York to the Mississippi 
 river. At present the travel of this great Line mainly passes 
 over the Southern division ; when both roads are opened to 
 
8 
 
 the free choice of the travelling public, the business will 
 probably be divided between the two. The construction of 
 depot accommodations for freight and passengers, has thus 
 tar been confined chiefly to the immediate wants of the Cuin- 
 pany. Ampler provision will be indispensable, especially 
 at Toledo, Sandusky and Cleveland. The cost of these can- 
 not now be stated, as that will depend mainly on the plan 
 that may be adopted, which is not yet definitely decided 
 upon. It may not be inappropriate to bestow a few remarks 
 upon what may be denominated the natural power of the 
 geographical position which is occupied by the Company’s 
 roads. The slightest inspection of the map of the country, 
 must convince any one, that viewed with reference io Rail- 
 Way communication, the line between Cleveland and Toledo 
 is, and ever must be, of commanding importance. Between 
 these two cities the waters of Lake Erie. project down into 
 the very heart of the United States and form the most 
 Southern point in the Northern boundary of the country on 
 the whole extensive line from the Atlantic to the Pacific 
 oceans. 
 
 Here the Southern shore of Lake Erie comes down to 
 about 413° north latitude. Assuming Cleveland as a station 
 of departure Eastward, the boundary line of the United States 
 runs from it uniformly nearly North-East, until at its North 
 East terminus in the State of Maine, it reaches a point above 
 latitude 47°. A line drawn East from that city, with a very 
 slight Southern deflection, will strike the city of Philadelphia. 
 Indeed, for all practical purposes, that city may be regarded 
 as on the same parallel of latitude with Cleveland. This last 
 named line passes through the heart of Pennsylvania and 
 New Jersey, while New-York and the New-England States 
 he to the north of it. Passing to the west end of our road, 
 and taking Toledo as a station, the boundary of the United 
 States turns suddenly around the head of Lake Erie, running 
 almost North, until it intersects Lake Superior, and thence 
 
) 
 through that lake to North latitude 49°, and thence west on 
 that parallel to the Pacific. It also so happens that Lake 
 Michigan projects down into the country to a point at its 
 Southern extreme, nearly on a parallel of latitude with the 
 South Shore of Lake Erie, between Toledo and Cleveland. 
 Lake Michigan, from its geographical position, may be re- 
 garded as an insuperable natural barrier to Rail-Road com- 
 munication, and must always force around its southern ex- 
 tremity and concentrate at that point, the Rail-Road travel 
 from the immense extent of country lying North, North- 
 West and West of it, stretching away West to the very foot 
 of the Rocky Mountains, and North and North-West to the 
 shores of Lake Superior, and into regions far beyond the 
 confines of that lake. Destined as that boundless and fertile 
 expanse of country undoubtedly is, to be peopled with unpre- 
 cedented rapidity, the travel from it to the Northern Atlantic 
 cities, will, in a few years, exceed in amount what might now 
 be regarded by many as the vision of a disordered imagina- 
 tion. At Chicago, a partial distribution to the North-East 
 and South-East will take place. But it is unmistakably evi- 
 -dent from an inspection of the map, as well as from the 
 known natural features of the country, that when the Rail- 
 Way travel going Eastward from this boundless region is 
 brought down, as it ever must be, to the Southern extremity 
 of Lake Michigan, the great mass of that travel when once 
 there, will keep forward on a nearly due East line to Cleve- 
 land. From the turn the lake here takes to the North-East, 
 Cleveland will always be the first great point of distribution 
 of the travel to the Northern Atlantic cities, thus forced 
 around the South shore of Lake Michigan. A part will seek 
 its way to Pennsylvania and the Atlantic cities, over the 
 the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Rail-Road. A part will take 
 the same direction over the Cleveland and Mahoning road, 
 which, with its connections when completed, will form a line 
 of uniform guage from Rock Island on the Mississippi river, 
 
10 
 
 both to Philadelphia and New-York. The remaining and 
 perhaps the greatest part, will follow the lake shore to Dun- 
 kirk, when another distribution will take place between the 
 New-York and Erie and the more Northern roads. Nor does 
 this movement, vast as it ever must be, constitute by any 
 means, the entire mass of travel from the West, that will find 
 its natural outlet to the East, and North-East, along this part 
 of the Southern shore of Lake Erie. 
 
 The Michigan Southern and the Northern Indiana roads 
 will bring to Toledo the trade and travel of the country along 
 their respective lines, situate between Lakes Erie and Michi- 
 gan; while the Toledo and Ilinois line of road will bring to 
 the same point from the South-West, the trade and travel of 
 the Maumee and Wabash vallies, extending even to St. Louis 
 by the way of the Terre Haute and Alton Rail-Road. 
 
 This latter line of road penetrates into and passes through 
 hundreds of miles of country of unsurpassed fertility, and 
 viewed in connection with the long and important lines of 
 Rail-Roads which unite with it from the West at Fort Wayne, 
 Logansport and Lafayette, and that it intersects both branches 
 of the Illinois Central nearly midway their course, its im- 
 mense value as an aftluent to the Cleveland and Toledo Rail- 
 Road is self-evident, and can scarcely admit of an over 
 estimate. 
 
 With the trade and travel going West from the Northern 
 Atlantic cities, the converse process of concentration and dis- 
 tribution will take place. The first great point of concen- 
 tration from Philadelphia and the country North of it, will 
 be at Cleveland, thence passing over the Cleveland and To- 
 ledo road to the city of Toledo, the first distribution of this 
 concentrated travel will there take place between that going 
 forward North-West and West, towards Lake Michigan, and 
 that seeking its way South-West through the great vallies of 
 the Maumee and Wabash rivers into Indiana and Illinois to 
 St. Louis, and the country beyond and above that city, on 
 both sides of the Mississippi. 
 
11 
 
 The second point of distribution will be at Chicago. 
 A part passing up the west shore of Lake Michigan, past 
 Green Bay into the upper peninsula of Michigan, to the cop- 
 per and iron bearing region. A part finding its way North- 
 West, towards the western end of Lake Superior, and the 
 head waters of the Mississippi, and at no distant day far be- 
 yond the sources of that river, into the extensive regions 
 drained by the great Red river of the north, and stretching 
 off West to the slopes of the Rocky Mountains, which, accord- 
 ing to the report of Capt. Pope, of the United States Topo- 
 graphical Corps, of his exploration of the upper waters of the 
 Mississippi, and of the country within the limits of the 
 United States, drained by the above mentioned Red river, 
 made by order of the War Department, is a country of great 
 agricultural fertility, and of sufficient extent for at least two 
 respectable States. All that region when peopled, must ever 
 on its way Eastward, come down around the Southern bend 
 of Lake Michigan. The remaining part will go forward 
 West and South-West trom Chicago to the very verge of 
 civilization on this side of the Rocky Mountains. 
 
 When we contemplate the certainty and magnitude of this 
 no distant future, there can be no mistaking the fact, that the 
 net-work of vast Rail-Roads branching out from Chicago 
 over all the country above described, will concentrate at the 
 southern extremity of Lake Michigan, a volume of travel and 
 trade, which in the movement of human commerce and inter- 
 course, will bear the same relation to the secondary and ordi- 
 nary lines of trade and travel, that the aggregated current 
 of a mighty river sustains to the head springs of the valley. 
 The main body of this great movement, when thus concen- 
 trated at the southern extremity of Lake Michigan, will natu- 
 rally go forward in a direct line to the head of Lake Erie at 
 
 Toledo, and thence to Cleveland, where, as already explained, 
 2 
 
12 
 
 its first important distribution will take place. This state- 
 ment of the commanding natural position of this great trunk 
 line along the southernmost shore of Lake Erie, between 
 Toledo and Cleveland, renders it wholly unnecessary to enter 
 into any specification of what now are, and what must be 
 hereafter, its almost innumerable affluents direct and remote, 
 both East and West of it, or to go into a detail of their indi- 
 vidual importance. 
 
 Enough has already been said on this topic to demonstrate 
 that the Cleveland and Toledo Rail-Road may safely rely for 
 its present and future prosperity upon the broad and deep 
 fountains of business, provided for it by the hand of nature, 
 which can neither be dried up nor diverted from their natural 
 channels; and these considerations make manifest the pro- 
 priety of combining the two parallel lines above described in 
 one corporation, which add largely to the local’ accommo- 
 dations, and avoid the possibility of rival and interfering 
 interests, while the business to be developed will be con- 
 stantly on the increase, and tax to the utmost the capacity 
 of both. 
 
 In corroboration of this view, notwithstanding the long 
 continued stringency in the money market, and the dimin- 
 ished activity of business this year compared to the last, yet 
 during the only four months of this year and the last, in 
 which it is in the power of the Company to make a compari- 
 son, the receipts of these four months have exceeded those 
 of last year on the Southern division seventy-three per cent. 
 The report of the Superintendent exhibits the gratifying fact, 
 that the gross earnings of the Company for nine months, 
 commencing with the 1st of September last, when the con- 
 solidation took place, (and the present Company was organ- 
 ized) to the 31st of May, amounted to $497,570.30, and the 
 cost of operating the Road to $203,703.02, leaving a net in- 
 come of $293,876.35. Thus it will be seen that the cost of 
 
= ——- ae 
 7 
 
 13 
 
 running the road is a fraction less than forty-one per cent. of 
 its earnings. The details of the cost of operating the Road 
 will be found in the Superintendent’s report. After what 
 has been said above, we deem it almost superfluous to express 
 the opinion that the business of the Company will be largely 
 increased during the coming year, and that the Cleveland 
 and Toledo Rail-Road will always be able to maintain its 
 place on the list of first class investments. The construction 
 of the northern division is, and has been from its commence- 
 ment, under the charge of Gro. Morton, Esq., as its Chief 
 Engineer. His report will give all the information that may 
 be desired respecting the Road coming within the province 
 of his department, and the Road itself bears ample testimony 
 to the ability and faithfulness with which he and his assist- 
 ants have discharged their duty tothe Company. ‘The finan- 
 cial condition of the Road is presented in the Treasurer’s 
 Report, and obviates the necessity of any repetition of its 
 details. 
 
 During the nine months embraced in the Superintendent’s 
 Report, commencing with the ist of September last, the 
 Company have transported over their Roads upwards of three 
 hundred thousand passengers without an accident causing a 
 loss of life, or personal injury to any one of them, with the 
 single exception of the fracture of a passenger’s arm, which 
 was incautiously projected from the window of a car while 
 passing a bridge. The Directors make this announcement 
 with the most unfeigned satisfaction. No other fact could so 
 conclusively prove that the Road is so managed as to entitle 
 it to the confidence of the travelling public, and that its 
 safety has been vigilantly guarded by the Superintendent, 
 Conductors, Engineers and all others employed in the trans- 
 portation department. In concluding our Report, we take 
 great pleasure in bearing testimony to the ability, fidelity 
 
14 
 
 and zeal with which all the Officers and Agents of the Com* 
 pany have discharged their respective duties. 
 
 All of which is respectfully submitted by order of the 
 Board.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER, 
 
 ENGINEER’s Orrice, NortHerNn Division OF THE 
 
 CLEVELAND AND ToLEDO RaAIL-ROAD. 
 
 Sandusky, O., June 20, 1854. 
 
 Hon. S. F. VINTON, President, 
 
 S1r,—In obedience to your order, I have the honor to submit 
 a report of the condition of that part of your road under my charge. 
 
 LOCATION AND LENGTH OF LINE. 
 
 The Northern Division, (formerly the Junction and Port Clinton 
 Rail-roads,) has been located from the city of Cleveland, on the east 
 side of the Cuyahoga river, to a point on the Northern Indiana Rail- 
 road, near Swanton, with a branch extending to Toledo. 
 
 From near Bath, or Front Street, in Cleveland, we cross the Cuya- 
 hoga, to the neck of Jand in Ohio City between the old river bed and 
 the lake; which we occupy for about a mile. We then strike the bluff 
 bank of the lake, which bears more northwardly, leaving one line at 
 this point. Thence we run south-westwardly through the townships 
 of Brooklyn, Rockport and Middleburgh, to Barea; something less than 
 twelve miles from Cleveland. At this place we cross the east branch 
 of Rocky river, immediately north of the Cleveland and Columbus 
 Rail-road. Thence we run nearly due west, through Olmstead and 
 Ridgeville, to Elyria, about 25 miles from Cleveland. 
 
 It will be observed, on examiuing the map, that Barea is considerably 
 south of a straight line from Cleveland to Elyria. But the character of 
 Rocky river is such, that we must cross it either at Barea or near its 
 mouth. My own opinion was in favor of the northern route. But local 
 considerations had more weight with the Company than engineering 
 principles, and the south route was adopted. 
 
16 
 
 From Elyria we run westwardly through Amherst and Brownhelm 
 to Vermillion; where we again strike the lake, thirty-eight and one 
 half miles from Cleveland. Thence we keep within sight of the lake, 
 through Vermillion, Huron, Perkins and Portland townships, to San- 
 dusky City, sixty and six hundredths miles from Cleveland. 
 
 From Big Inlet, about three miles east of Sandusky, our line diverges 
 to the north, and runs about three-fourths of a mile through the Cove, 
 on an expensive cribbing in which a drawbridge is necessarily built ; 
 crosses the Mansfield and Sandusky Rail-road close to their depot ; 
 runs through Rail-road Street nearly its entire length, to the Mad 
 River and Lake Erie Rail-road grounds ; and through them and among 
 their numerous tracks, about three-fourths of a mile, to a point near 
 the mouth of Mills Creek. From Big Inlet I had located a line di- 
 verging more southwardly, keeping back and south of the city, and con- 
 necting with our present line near Mills Creek. This line is about 
 three-fourths of a mile shorter than the one adopted, and avoids the 
 delays and dangers of crossing the Cove and drawbridge, and running 
 through Rail-road Street. But there were such conditions annexed to 
 the subscription of stock by the City, that the Company felt constrained 
 to direct the location as now made. 
 
 From Sandusky we run by the south shore of Sandusky Bay, through 
 the village of Venice, five and three-tenths miles to Muscash Point. 
 At this place we cross Sandusky Bay, on a bridge about seven thousand 
 six hundred feet long, to Mixer’s Point, on the north shore. Thence 
 west, six and three-fourths miles to Port Clinton, which is the County 
 seat of Ottowa County; and situated on Portage Bay, on Lake Enie, at 
 the mouth of Portage River. After crossing the river, we run west, 
 through Hartford and Toussaint, twenty-five and a half miles, to the 
 junction with the southern division of your road, eight miles south- 
 west from Toledo, and about ninety-nme miles, by our road, from 
 Cleveland. 
 
 From this junction, a branch or second track of four feet eight and 4 
 half inches gauge, is located, and very nearly graded to your station on 
 the south-east side of the Maumee river, at Toledo. 
 
 The main line runs from the junction due west ten and six-tenths 
 miles, to Perrysburg, the County seat of Wood County. Thence we 
 cross the Maumee river, immediately below the rapids, and the head 
 
zt 
 
 of navigation, on a bridge seventeen hundred feet long, and fifty feet 
 above the level of the water, to Maumee City. At this place we cross 
 the Maumee Canal, and connect with the Toledo and Illinois Rail-road, 
 and thence run fourteen miles to the point on the northern Indiana Rail- 
 road near Swanton, one hundred and twenty-five and eighty-six hun- 
 dredths miles from Cleveland. 
 
 CURVATURE. 
 
 I have endeavored to make the curves on this line as light as possi- 
 ble—very few of them having a radius less than two thousand feet— 
 and most of them over a mile radius. When it was necessary to have 
 a harder curve, I have located it near a station, where the train would 
 necessarily have a slow motion. 
 
 The amount of straight line is : : 116.52 miles, 
 
 ‘5 curvature, : ‘ ; Gis Bas 
 
 oo 
 
 Total, 125.86 “ 
 The curves being less than seven and one half per cent. for the whole 
 
 line. 
 GRADIENTS.

 CHARACTER OF THE WORK. 
 
 I feel justified in saying that. the work on this division of your road 
 compares fayorably with that of the best roads in the country. In the 
 
18 
 
 first place, my gradients were made as long and uniform as possible 
 with a view to high speed, and economy in running, and not undula- 
 ting with the surface of the ground, as they are on too many of our 
 western roads. ‘The embankments are wide, enabling us to have the 
 ballasting done in a proper manner, without wasting a large part of the 
 material over the edge. I believe we have larger and better ties, and 
 more of them to the mile, than can be found in any other road, either 
 east or west. The foundations for the masonry have received my 
 special attention. Several of them were constructed on extremely un- 
 sound and precarious bottoms. One, in particulay, was built in twenty- 
 three feet water, and twelve feet of very soft muck overlaying a bed of 
 shale. And, notwithstanding the difficulties to be contended with in 
 operating in such localities, not the least unequal settling can be dis- 
 covered in any of the foundations, after having been run over, with 
 heavy engines, for nine months. The masonry is all dressed with good 
 beds and joints, and laid in the best kind of hydraulic cement. The 
 longer spans of bridges are of the Howe truss plan. The shorter ones 
 are of a variety of plans, to suit the location ; but all of the most sub- 
 stantial kind. 
 
 Between Cleveland and Sandusky, the country is abundantly sup- 
 plied with the best kinds of stone, in immediate proximity to the line. 
 From near Sandusky to Maumee we have but one place where stone 
 can be procured conveniently. But, fortunately, very little is required ; 
 as but one stream of any importance is to be crossed. At Maumee a 
 large quantity is required, and we have any amount needed of the best 
 quality of limestone, in the bottom of the river where our work is con- 
 
 structed. 
 BALLAST. 
 
 The ballasting material is abundant ; but is not well distributed along 
 the line, occasioning long hauls. At Amherst, about midway between 
 Cleveland and Sandusky, we have extensive beds of very clean coarse 
 gravel, which is being used for the part east of Sandusky. At Port 
 Clinton we have plenty of the cleanest kind of washed sand, which we 
 propose using on that part of the road west of Sandusky. And, when 
 the road is extended west of Maumee, we shall have several locations 
 
 where good material may be procured. 
 
19 
 
 We have also, within four miles of Sandusky, an extensive quarry of 
 limestone. A large portion of this is in thin strata, easily quarried and 
 broken. With this I propose to form banks, or rip-rap walls, at the 
 ends of the ties, to keep the sand from washing or spreading. And, 
 when a sufficient quantity of sand is placed under the ties, this broken 
 stone is the proper material with which to finish the ballasting. 
 
 PROGRESS OF THE WORK. 
 
 The road from Cleveland to Sandusky was opened for travel last fall, 
 but has not yet been fully ballasted. Trestle bridges were substituted 
 temporarily for some of the culverts. These have been mostly replaced 
 with permanent masonry, and the whole will be put in this season. 
 
 West of Sandusky the grading is all done to a point about ten miles 
 west of Maumee City, and to Toledo, with a very few slight exceptions, 
 which can be finished at any time when needed. ‘The bridging, except 
 that at Maumee City, will all be done, so as to be fit for use, by the 
 15th of July; and would have been finished by this time had it not 
 been for the very inclement weather, which has hindered our contrac- 
 tors from getting forward the material, and which also caused conside- 
 rable damage to the work during its progress. 
 
 I have two parties laying track—one from Sandusky, west, and one 
 from the junction south-east of Toledo, working eastwardly. These 
 parties are now within ten miles of closing. Another party will be 
 placed upon the Toledo branch, as soon as we can receive the iron and 
 chairs now on the way. The track can be finished frem Sandusky to 
 Toledo, by the time the bridges are ready, unless we shall be disap- 
 pointed in receiving the materials. Immediately thereafter, we shall be 
 ready to put down the track from the junction to Perrysburg, and by 
 October, the whole line may be finished to the connection with the 
 Toledo and Illinois Rail-road at Maumee City. 
 
 CONNECTIONS. 
 
 It was intended to form a connection with the Cleveland and Erie, 
 and Cleveland and Pittsburgh roads, by a bridge over the Cuyahoga 
 river, near Bath Street. A plan has been matured, by which this con- 
 nection can be made whenever it is ordered, without any material 
 interruption of the navigation of the river. Besides this, we shall have, 
 
 3 
 
20 
 
 on the west side ef the Cuyahoga, a connection with the Cleveland and 
 Mahoning Rail-road, now in a good state of progress; and through 
 that road and its connections, we shall have the shortest and best lines 
 to New-York, and to Philadelphia and Baltimore, of the uniform gauge 
 of four feet, eight and one-half inches. At Berea we run through the 
 grounds of the Cleveland and Columbus Company. At Elyria we shall, 
 without doubt, have a connection with the Medina Rail-road, running 
 to the extensive coal fields of Wayne, Stark, Holmes and Tuscarora 
 counties. At Huron we cross the Huron and Oxford branch of the 
 Sandusky and Mansfield Rail-roads. At Sandusky we connect with the 
 Sandusky, Mansfield and Newark Rail-road, which extends to the 
 mouth of the Scioto River; the Mad River and Lake Erie, and the San- 
 dusky and Indiana Rail-road, which extend to Cincinnati, and connect 
 us with the net work of roads in the west part of Ohio and in Indiana. 
 
 At Toledo we connect with the Southern Michigan, the Northern 
 Indiana, and the Toledo and Illinois Rail-roads, all of the four feet eight 
 and a half inches gauge; and with the Dayton and Michigan Rail-road, 
 of four feet ten inches guage. In a short time we shall connect, at the 
 same point, with the Toledo, Monroe and Detroit Rail-road, with the 
 guage of four feet eight and one-half inches. 
 
 At Perrysburg we shall have a union passenger station with the 
 Dayton and Michigan road now being built. At Maumee we shall 
 connect with the Toledo and [linois road, which will be opened thirty 
 miles west of Fort Wayne this fall, and to St. Louis by next year. And 
 fourteen miles west of Maumee we terminate at the Northern Indiana 
 Rail-road, now open to Delta—and which will be opened to the State 
 line this fall—and to Goshen by next spring. This gives us a direct 
 connection with Chicago and the Mississippi river. When these are 
 made, a car can be loaded at St. Louis, Rock Island or Galena, and 
 taken to New-York, Philadelphia or Baltimore, without being un- 
 loaded; as the same gauge is continued the whole distance between 
 these points. 
 
 Before closing, permit me to return my acknowledgments to the 
 President and Directors of the Junction Rail-road Company, and to 
 those of the Cleveland and Toledo Rail-road Company, for the many 
 marks of their confidence bestowed upon me, and for the forbearance 
 and kindness with which they have uniformly treated me. 
 
21 
 
 I would also bear testimony to the worth of my principal Assistants , 
 P. K. Gregory and J. R. Rust, and their subordinates. The duties of 
 those named, especially, have been more than ordinarily laborious, as 
 they two are all the resident engineers I have had in the construction of 
 one hundred and thirty-six miles of road. Had it not been for their 
 intimate knowledge of the work, their systematic and industrious habits, 
 and their zealous and continued co-operation with me in carrying out 
 my plans, it would not have been possible for me to have performed 
 my duties satisfactorily to the Company or myself. 
 
 Very respectfully, Sir, 
 Your obedient Servant, 
 GEO. MORTON, Lngineer.

 Hon. S. F. VINTON, President, 
 
 Str,—The following report of business of the Cleveland and 
 Toledo Rail-Road, for nine months, commencing September 1st, 1853, 
 when the Company was organized, and ending May 31st, 1854, and its 
 condition, is respectfully submitted. 
 
 There are now in operation the following portions of the road.

 The number of miles run during nine months ending May 31st, 
 1854, was as follows :

 “* Construction do. ‘ 56,203 
 92,372 
 Total Mileage, . 3 ‘ 307,783 
 
 
 
 Average earnings per mile run by passenger and freight trains, $2.52. 
 
 The expense of running trains engaged in construction purposes has 
 been charged to Construction Account. 
 
 The receipts on the Southern Division of the road, (late Toledo, Nor- 
 walk and Cleveland,) show a gain over the corresponding period of last 
 
 year, for which comparison can be made, (February, March, April and 
 May,) of 73 per cent. 
 
 In consequence of the unfortunate state of affairs at Erie, the winter 
 business was much below what might have been expected ; for many 
 weeks the passenger travel was materially diverted, and through freight 
 entirely suspended. 
 
 The Northern Division not being complete, the through traftic has 
 mainly been done on the Southern Division, and the income of the North 
 line derived principally from local business, which is steadily increasing. 
 
25 
 
 Owing to our position, being for the entire length of the line within 
 a few miles of lake ports, our freight business, through the season of 
 navigation, has been very small. Arrangements are making for a 
 Rail-road Express freight line, connecting Boston and New-York with 
 Chicago and the west ; which it is believed will materially increase’ the 
 receipts in this branch of our business. 
 
 During the entire period embraced in this report, there have been run 
 on the Southern Division three daily passenger trains in each direction, 
 and since the 8th May, a fourth between Toledo and Clyde, (forming a 
 connection via Mad River and Lake Erie Road, between Toledo and 
 Cleveland. A tri-weekly freight for some six months of the time, and a 
 daily freight for remainder. 
 
 The Northern Division was opened for travel between Sandusky and 
 Berea, (48 miles,) September 12th, and through to Cleveland, (Ohio 
 City,) October 24th, 1853; two daily trains were run from time of 
 opening through, to November 30th. One in each direction from 
 December 1st to April 3d, and two again from April 3d to the present 
 time. 
 
 Our trains have been run with remarkable freedom from accident, 
 none haying occurred for which our men were at all censurable. 
 
 On the Southern Division we have carried 260,665 passengers, not 
 one of whom has received any personal injury. 
 
 On the Northern Division we have carried 40,438 passengers, of whom 
 one, from incautiously projecting his arm too far from the car, had it 
 broken from coming in contact with a post. 
 
 The shops having been incomplete, we have not been able to make 
 our repairs of rolling stock as economically or as completely as we can 
 do hereafter. 
 
 We have built at Norwalk one Baggage Car, the cost of which has 
 been charged to repairs of passenger cars, towards depreciation, and it 
 is our intention to continue to put upon the road, from time to time, cars 
 enough from our own shop to maintain the full value of our stock. 
 
 THE FENCING 
 
 of the whole line, except a few miles west of Perrysburg Junction, is 
 completed, or under contract to be finished the present year.

 NORTHERN DIVISION. 
 Upon that portion now in operation, (60 miles,) the ballasting is pro- 
 gressing rapidly. 
 There is one coat under all except some four miles, and several miles 
 have the second and third load. 
 Upon this division we are well supplied with a good material for 
 ballast, and have ties of first quality. 
 When this line is finished, and thoroughly ballasted, we shall have 
 one of the best roads in the State. 
 The fencing between Cleveland and Sandusky, it is believed, will be 
 completed early in the autumn.

 QXzare aw 
 
 In conclusion, allow me to say that the officers, agents and employees 
 of the Company, under my charge, are entitled to much credit for their 
 faithfulness and efficiency ; with hardly an exception I have found them 
 influenced by a desire to perform their respective duties in a manner 
 satisfactory to their employers, and for the promotion of the interests of 
 the road. The freedom from accident with which the road has been 
 run affords the best evidence of their vigilance. 
 
 Respectfully submitted, 
 EK. B. PHILLIPS, 
 
 Superintendent.

 CoMPANY. 
 
 I submit herewith sundry statements, showing the financial condition 
 of the Company on the 31st May last. 
 
 The statement marked “ A.” shows the standing of the Company in 
 _ general account. . 
 From this statement it appears that the total expenditure for con- 
 . struction is $5,102,129.02—%770,900.19 of which has been expended 
 since the consolidation, and includes payments for iron and materials 
 on hand sufficient to finish the Northern Division to Toledo. 
 
 The statement marked “B.” exhibits the income account, and shows 
 a balance to the credit of this account of $103,998.51. 
 
 The statement marked “ C.” shows the comparative receipts for five 
 months of the year, commencing with January, 1853, at which time 
 the road was opened to Toledo. 
 
 The statement marked “ D.” shows the cost per mile of several lead- 
 ing Eastern and Western Rail-roads ; all of which (except the Michi- 
 gan Southern and Northern Indiana Roads,) have cost much more per 
 mile than ours. 
 
 Respectfully submitted, 
 
 E. B. LITCHFIELD, Treasurer.
