Square in Wilkes-Barre to Harvey's
summer of 1885 Mr. Orr called one
warm Qfternoon at the law office of
George W. Shonk on Franklin street,
in Wilkes-Barre, and began to talk
about. some valuable timber land and
amber interests belonging to John
Shonk, the father of George,
at Ruggles postoffice, beyond Harvey's
Toke. In the course of the conversa-
tion Orr asserted that he

a very small sum comparatively $100,~

wovld not’ only enhance Mr, Shohk’s
iands, but wall others: along the line.
This idea at first struck Mr. Shonk |
but when he began to think
of its cost, compared with his bank
account at that particular day, the no-
tion became ridiculous to him and he
remarked to Mr. Orr that he could not
talk about building a railroad, calling
attention to his then small balance in
the bank. “That makes no difference,”
said Mr. Orr, “I have no more cash on
land than you hawe, but I will take
$5,000 in the road and will find some
way to raise itr I want you to see
your father tonight when you go home
and talk it over with him.”. Mr. Shonk
did as requested. Much to his sur-

successful, having secured a large

contract for grading to Mr. Orr. Hard-

Mr. Orr was at work with about, one

Mr. Orr continued his
work with unabated zeal for nearly a |
month, when the Lehigh Vallay Rail- |

began .discussing
the subject with his friends. Nor did
he stop with mere discussion. One
after another of his plans were per-
enterpri ise,
fected, his company organized and
work was begun.
In the year 1896 he’ had partly
graded his line through the mountain
gorge between Luzerne and Trucks-
ville, when he came upon a landowner
who refused to give or sel the rigiht to
cross his land at any price. This
suspended the work for a short time
only. Mr. Reynolds soon took ou! a
new charter under the generai 1ail-
road law of Pennsylvania for a
steam railroad under the name of the
Wilkes-Barre and Northern Railroad,
wlich gave him also the right of
eminent domain, and thus broka down

new road progressed rapidly so that
almost exactly within ten years from

road made its first entry in the vil-

ing is being extended to Harvey's Laka

tem at Wilkes-Barre, so that one cun
