BARRICADING A RAILWAY.—A short time since,
arrangements were made by which the lines of railway
hitherto belonging to the East Anglian carne into posses-
sion of the Great Northern Company. The latter parties
have long been desirous of obtaining these lines, in order
that they might run trains from Lynn, Dereltam, and the
surrounding county, through to London. Prior to Thurs-
day last, all the traffic from those parts was compelled to
go to Ely, and from thence by tho Eastern Counties Rail-
way to the metropolis, and consequently the change of route
will entail considerable loss upon the proprietors of that
railway. In order to complete the communication through
to London, the Groat Northern has obtained powers to use
the Eastern Counties line between Wisbeaeh and Peter-
borough, a distance of 24 miles. To get upon this line,
they have to traverse the East Anglian line from the Wis-
beach station for about 200 yards, when they come upon
the main line belonging to the Eastern Counties Company.
On Thursday morning last, the day upon which the working
of the East Anglian lines first came under the superinten-
dence of the Great Northern Company, a train left Lynn
early in the morning. On arriving at the Wiabeach station,
they found that an effectual stoppage had been made to
their further progress by • barricade of trucks and waggons
being stretched across the rails at that point where the
East Anglian forms a junction with the Eastern
Counties line. The blockade consisted of 13 carriages two
of which were thrown off the line, and the wheels buried
deep into the earth; and, in order still further to prevent
a passage being effected, the rails themselves were under-
mined, and large chains passed under them, and round
each wheel of the various carriages, consequently, to re-
move the obstruction, the rails would have to be taken up
and completely relaid. Mr. If. Claythe, manager of the
East Anglian lines, had received intelligence of the intended
blockade on Wednesday evening, and had therefore omni-
buses in readiness to convey the passengers from the Wis-
beach station of the East Anglian line to the Wisheach sta-
tion on the Eastern Counties line, being a distance of little
more than a quarter of a mile. To the latter station an
empty train had been sent from Peterborough to convey the
passengers forward, so that the only inconveniences sus-
tained by them were the changes and a delay of about half-
an-hour. The Eastern Counties authorities, in justification
of the obstruction; contend that the small branch of the East
Anglian Railway forming a junction with their line is not
made according to act of parliament, but that there has
been a considerable deviation from the route which re-
ceived the sanction of parliament. They say that the East
Anglian has no right to join their line where it does, and
therefore they may block it up if they choose. It will
scarcely be necessary to say that the inconvenience of transit
detailed above will attend every train to and from Wis-
beach. Of course the line of rails used by the Eastern
Counties themselves is impassable at the blockade. To ob-
viate this difficulty, they have laid another set of rails to
form • crossing at this particular point. We understand
that the Great Northern Company intend at once to bring
the matter before a court of law.
