The geographical position of Worcester has caused its adoption a%
the point where the broad guage trunk lines of the west are to have a
;ommon terminus. From Oxford the Great Western Company bags
lecided on constructing a line of rail :—another project under the ps,-
tronage of the same powerful direction is now before the public,.
uniting Worcester with Warwick ; and, that the broad gauge will be
carried from Worcester into Wales, and to the Irish packet stations
on that coast, is now no longer doubtful. This undertaking will com-
plete a series of great avenues of iron-road, whose ramification
from Worcester will render every part of the kingdom directly
accessible from that city. Passing up the Sevens Vale, where
it will disclose a succession of picturesque scenes, it reaches
Stourport, and proceeding thence through Kidderminster, arrives at.
Bewdley. This district is one of the chief seats of our carpet manu-
factures, and in the towns here named, exclusive of the intervening
districts, upwards of 30,000 persons are located. Leaving Stourbridge
a little to the east, the line is taken to Bridgenorth, a town enjoying
an active inland trade, and possessing woollen manufactures and iron
works, that give employment to a population of about 15,000. Pass-
ing through or near to Much Wenlock, Broseley, and Madeley, from
which place there will be a branch to Shrewsbury, the line ascends
Colebrook Dale, and approaching in its course Wellington and Wem,
sisters Whitchurch. From this central place a branch will he formed
to Norwich via Stoke, forming a junction with the Liverpool and
Crewe Railway. The trunk line will continue from Whitchrtreh, and
passing through or near Malpss, have its northern terminus in the
city of Chester.
In estimating the probable amount of revenue which the Worms-
ter and Chester Railway may be expected to yield, many sources of
profit present themselves, such are the dense population located along
the length of the Severn Vale, and the enriching works of industry
in which they are engaged. Amongst the latter may be mentioned
the China manufactories of Worcester ; the iron, coal, and earthen- •
ware works at Broseley and other places ; the agricultural produce
brought to Stourport market ; the inexhaustible fields of coal and
mines of iron ore in the vicinity of Colebrook Dale, Ironbridno, and
the districts to the east of Shrewsbury generally.
In calculating the cost of construction unusual advantages are also
obvious. The line traverses a district •affording levels of several;
miles in extent, and with a surface peculiarly favourable. The resi-
dent population, disappointed by the postponement of promised pro-
jects, have warmly espoused the present, and the labouring popula-
tion being familiar with mining operations, will be found better
qualified for the execution of railway works here than in many other
losanties.
As a link in the railway network of England, or as auxin=
to existing or projected lines passing in various directions,
schemes hitherto proposed appear to afford greater
for
travelling. investment,

be laid on the natural level—that the gradients are in every in-
