WORKS OF THE CALEDONIAN

RAILWAY.

With reference to an article, headed as above, which we
copied some time ago from another journal, we are happy
since to learn that the works upon the Caledonian Railway
are in active progress along its whole extent, and that there
arc at present upwards of 7,000 men employed on the line.
Mess s. Brassey, Mckenzie, and Stephenson, the con-
tractors, are in full possession of all the land requisite, and
have sub-let nearly the whole works to respectable and sub-
stantial persons, and several miles of the line are formed and
ready for ballasting.
The rails were purchased last year and there is every pro-
spect of a great portion of the line being open for traffic in
the summer of 1847.
