The first 6 miles is on an average-fill of about 27 ft. due to the fact that it is necessary to-cross several steam railroads and ti-action lines on over-head crossings. The remainder of the grading is light,except through the city of Lebanon where it is necessaryto elevate the tracks on account of steam and electriclines.
