To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The inner curves have been successively made, or undertaken, not merely for local advan- tages, but by vast expenditures of New York and Philadelphia capital, for the purpose of getting the shortest line. New York, by great energy and im- mense sums, amounting to about thirty millions of dollars, has succeeded in making the outer, or cir- cumferential curve, first; and of course reaping the first harvest. Next we find Philadelphia energeti- cally pushing her great central trunk towards Pitts- b...urg, her ancient friend and ally, and that ally wisely endeavouring to concentrate all of Phila- delphia influence and enterprise through herself. What has been done in that regard is well done. But has it attained the nearest route to Cincinnati, much less to the coveted trade of the south-west? On the contrary, the first Pittsburg curve through Wooster is nearly an hundred miles out of the way! Next we have the Steubenville line, much shorter, but still not attaining the object of the 21 shortest line.
