Delaware River and Lancaster Railroad : ウィキペディア英語版 | Delaware River and Lancaster Railroad
The Delaware River and Lancaster Railroad, known locally as the Sowbelly Railroad, was a short-lived rail line along French Creek between Kimberton and St. Peters. ==Planned interstate line== The railroad was originally chartered on March 24, 1868, to run from a railroad bridge crossing the Delaware River at Point Pleasant, Pennsylvania, to Lancaster, as part of a more or less direct route between New York City and Lancaster.〔 〕 However, the company was unable to raise funds for construction and the charter languished for some time. By 1883, the railroad was still unbuilt; the building contractor refused to construct it until all of the proposed right of way had been secured. Not for another five years was sufficient money raised (and then only enough for a line extending from Phoenixville to St. Peters, and possibly from there to Lancaster).〔
