East Tennessee Railroad |
The officers of this railroad {East
Tennessee & Virginia RR} have succeeded in getting an engine
and train of cars eases the Holston river, near the burnt bridge at
Union, so that freight and passengers can now be transported between
the two bridges recently destroyed by the raid of the enemy.
Transportation is going on over the whole line with slight
interruption. Such as running a train of cars the bed of a river,
through the water, has hardly ever before been accomplished. |
