One was by the valley of the inlet of Cay- uga lake and the west branch of Cata- tonk creek, through the town of Spen- cer. The distance by this route from the Inlet bridge to Owego was 36. 6 miles. The other route, which was subsequently adopted, was by the val- ley of the Six Mile creek, Beaver Meadow creek, one of its branches, and the east branch of the Catatonk creek. The distance from the inlet to Owego by this route was 29. 6 miles. John Randal. Jr.. Was apppointed engineer of the road. ...He had con- structed the New Castle and French- town railroad in Pennsylvania, which was at that time one of the finest pieces of engineering in the United States. Ephraim Leach, the builder of Leach's mills on the Owego creek, in the town of Tioga, was appointed 445 b-ui)erinte"ndent of structure and engi- neering at tiie soutii end of tlie road. When tlie survey of tiie road had been completed it was found that the original capital of $150, 000, which had all been taken, was insufficient to con- struct it, although at first, for want of correct information of the nature and expense of railroads, it was supjiosed to be adequate to the purpose.
