Excerpt from Pennsylvania Lines West of Pittsburgh: A History of the Flood of March, 1913To the Management of the Pennsylvania Lines West of Pittsburgh: By your direction, there has been prepared and is submitted herewith a record of the Flood of March, 1913, and its disruption of the service of your Lines, in such detail as to give a general idea of the extent of the damage and the progress of the work of restoration.But not in this account of the more prosaic facts, nor in any of the records of the Company, will be found the real story of the ¿ood, unless it be read between the lines by those who were in the thick of the fight.By the destruction of most of the means of communication, at the same time that the tracks and bridges were washed away, the system was broken into many fragments, each Division was left pretty much to its own resources, without knowledge as to what had occurred elsewhere and without Opportunity to confer as to the best means of restoring service, or to secure information as to material, supplies or men available for repair work. Many Divisions were separated into two or more sections, neither of which had any means of communication with the others.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
