Their efforts were of no avail, until the 1935 session of the Legislature when a joint committee, headed by Representative Cliff S. Patterson, of Mononga- hela, waa named to go into the matter. ■■?«-•. The idea of a railroad across the southern tier wae advocated as early aa 1837, but it was only after a succession of promoters had spent more than 8300,000 in surveys and other preliminaries that the venture attracted nationally-known financiers and real progress began. In 1886 an associate engineer of the South Penn reported that "heaviest work — deep fills, cute, nine tunnels, etc, have been undertaken first and this work is about five-eighths complete over the 209 miles of the line." The intereet of world financiers which had given the lagging venture new life had an evil effect as well. Just as things were progressing nicely rival railroad heads effected a compromise which brought about abandonment of the South Penn job With amazing suddenness. Brush grew over the right-of-way; tunnels caved in; fills washed out and the South Penn Railroad . became a memory.
