PORTSMOUTH DOCKYARD BRANCH..
The dockyard at Portsmouth is now being connected
by railway with the line at Landport, thus giving in-
creased facilities for the embarkation and disembarkation
of troops, baggage, stores, or munitions of war. This
new railway on the Portsjnouth side is rather more than
a mile in length, mad its course, after crossing the Lion-
pte-road, is almost parallel to the Flathouse-road,
cut ving off as it nears the harbour, then crossing over
the widest part of the moat by means of a swing bridge,
aid passing through the rampart, under which is a well-
executed bridge. The line (a single one) enters the
dockyard within a few feet of the chief entrance to
the convict prison, and is to be rxtended down to the
jetties. The works are to be completed on the 15th of
April.
