ar theWilmington and Baltimore and Camden and Amboy roads werebuilt, as was the Reading road in the following year. The Penn-sylvania road was chartered in 1846. In 1834 the Columbia line,partly canal and partly railroad, was opened from Philadelphiato Pittsburg, nearly 400 miles. It was intended to be worked byhorse power, but locomotives were adopted about 1836. Philadelphia suffered severely during its earlier history fromepidemics of vellow fever and later from cholera.
