The first line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the
Loughborough station on the Midland Counties line, and pro-
ceed through the Vale of Sheepshead, to Pegs Green Colliery,
near to the terminus of the Leicester and Swannington Rail-
way, and from thence through the coal-fields of Swannington
and Cole-Orton to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. It will thence proceed across
the Moira Coal-field and through the rich agricultural districts of
Seal, Clifton Campville, and Edingale, to the Birmingham and Derby
Railway, which it will cross near to Elford Park Farm, and thence
traverse the Valley of the Tame until it reaches Alrewas, where it
will form a junction with the branch of the Trent Valley line new in
progress of making. At this point it also meets the proposed South
Staffordshire line, by which means it reaches Lichfield, and by means
of one of the proposed lines it will afford communication with Bir-
mingham.
From Loughborough the line will be farther continued to Asfordby,
on the Syston and Peterborough Railway, now in progress, and by
means of this latter line a direct intercourse will be opened with
Melton Mowbray and the various towns through which that route
passes to Peterborough.
By means of Its junction with the Trent Valley line at Alrewas, the
Grand Trunk reaches Colwich, and there meets the proposed North
Staffordshire line, which proceeds through the heart of the Potteries
to Newcastle-under-Lyne, Leek, and Macclesfield. By means also
of the same Trent Valley line at Alrewas the Grand Trunk pro-
ceeds through Rugeley to Stafford, thus completing its route, and
forming a connecting line between the Midland and Grand Junction
Railways. This branch of the line was formerly surveyed by Mr.
Rastrick, and approved of by him as a canal communication, so that
no engineering difficulties exist.
The second line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the
Derby station, and taking the course of the Derby Canal proceed to
Chellaston, where there are extensive plaster-works, and thence
by Swarkestone to the river Trent, which it will cross near to
the ferry at Weston Cliffe, and so proceed to Kings Newton
and Melbourne. From the latter place it will pass by the
village of Wilson to Breedon-on-the-Hill, where -there are extensive
lime-works, and thence proceed by Staunton Harold, communicat-
ing by a branch line with the lead, lime, and coal works there ;
thence by the Lount Colliery to Worthington Rough, where it will
follow the line of the Cole-Orlon and Swannington Railway entll its
junction with the first line of the Grand Trunk at or near the Pegs
Green Colliery, and so proceed from thence to Ashby-de-la-Zouch.
At Ashby-de-la-Zouch the Grand Trunk forms a junction with the
proposed Nottingham and Birmingham, and with the proposed Great
Manchester, Rugby, and Southampton Railways. Its importance as
a line for passengers is too obvious for comment, forming as it does a
complete junction between those two great thoroughfares, the Mid-
land and Grand Junction Railways, and by its branch from Derby to
Ashby-de-la-Zouch another complete junction between the Great
Northern and Southern lines now' in progress, thus °peeing a direct
line of communication to all parts of the kingdom.
As a line for traffic, the Grand Trunk will form the most direct
transit to the Leicestershire, Staffordshire, and Shropshire iron and
coal fields, to the Burton breweries, to North and South Wales, and
Ireland to Scotland, and all parts of tile north, and to the eastern,
southern, and western parts of the empire. It will also be the
nearest and most direct communication from the cast to the north-
western manufacturing districts, as well as become the great route
from all parts of the kingdom to tile midland counties of England.
Ths mineral resources are of the very highest order. Tho Moira
coal-field is inexhaustible, whilst the coal-beds at Staunton Harold
alone comprise the finest quality of Kennel to a depth of seven feet,
with a super stratum of main coal to a depth of six feet. The sub-
stratum is yet to be worked. There are beds of Kennel and main
coal at Cole Orton of equal quality, though not of equal depth with
those of Staunton Harold, whilst the main coal at Swannington is un-
rivalled, being, in fact, the bowl of the Leicestershire and Derbyshire
coal strata. It is needless to describe the beneficial results which
must arise fl'orn this opening of the midland coal district to tile Lon-
don and southern markets.
At Staunton Harold and Calker exist rich veins of lead ore, now In
full course of working.
The properties of the Breedon, Staunton Narold, and Ticknall lime
are so well known to agriculturists and others, that an extension of
traffic for so valuable a commodity into m )re remote districts must
be of the utmost importance to the practical farmer.
In approaching tile Trent, on leaving the lime district, the Grand
Trunk will fall in with most valuable quarries of millstone grit, ser-
viceable for paving and building purposes, and for which a ready
market would be found along the line. The country also abounds
in gypsum, of which immense quantities aro used in Birming-
ham and elsewhere : these markets will thus become opened for the
quarries at Chellaston.
Anew and extensive outlet will also be opened for the earthenware
of Wooden Box and Griesley Potteries.
Until the Act of Parliament be obtained, the affairs will be ender
the control of the Committee of Management, to whom power is
given to allot the shares and apply the funds of the Company in
payment of all proper expenses in the formation of the Company and
otherwise.
Power will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime the
Committee of Management take power, to alter or extend the lines,
to make branch lines, to abandon any part of the line, to raise addi-
tional capital, and to enter into arrangements with any other Com-
pany or Campanies.
Application for shares must be made in the form annexedito the soli-
citors to the Company, Messrs. Watts, Galsworthy, and Galsworthy,
19, Ely-place, Holborn, London; to thp Secretary, at the Offices of
the Company, 3, Adelaide-place, London-bridge ; and to the fol-
