...ll (the only existing line being one of 14 miles, connecting Baden
with Zurich), but this has not arisen from the country offering any
Serious engineering difficulties, nor from indifference to their advan-
tages, nor from the traffic being insufficient to guarantee an ade-
quate return for the outlay, but: from the fact that railways have
°WY recently been introduced into the great States surrounding
Switzerland, and the attention of capitalists was naturally first
attracted by the more important lines in those countries connecting
the Capitals of Europe. The large operations for constructing these
International lines being in an advanced state, approaching to com-
pletion, the attention of the Federal Government of Switzerland was
anxiously turned to the subject ; and, by its direction, Mr. Robert
Stephenson, the eminent English engineer, after a careful survey,
reported upon certain lines of railway, which he recommended as
the most essy and practicable in that country.
The first of these lines, commencing at ]gorges and Lausanne, on
the Lake of Geneva, and terminating at Yverdon, on the Lake of
Neufchatel, it is the object of the present Company to construct.
This is the most inipertant section of the system ; not only as the
Sole possible line of traffic between the two Lakes, but as the main
line of railway communication from France and Sardinia into the
heart of Switzerland by Geneva.
