The Belgian Grand Junction Railway will commence at the several
points of Tirlemont and Landen towards the north, and Huy, Namur,
Gosselies, and Chatelineau (Charleroi) on the south, and will directly
connect the provinces of Brabant, Hainault, Liege, Limburg, and
Namur with each other, and the Government lines of railway, as
also with the several lines of Liege and Namur, Landen and Hassell,
Louvain and Jemeppe, Sambre and Meuse, and by the Great Luxem-
bourg.
The provinces which the railway will unite were found by the
census of 1844 to comprise a population of 2,188,551, and the dis-
tricts which it will traverse are situated in the heart of Belgium, and
comprise an area of 165 square miles. The entire length of the Bel-
gian Grand Junction Railway will be 102 English miles, and the in-
variable rule of the Belgian Government not to permit any competing
lines, must necessarily ensure to this Company the entire traffic of
the country through which this line will pass.
This portion of the country is emphatically termed the Granary of
Belgium, and, in addition t.) its vast agricultural produce, is rich in
ironstone, lead, marble, stone, and slate quarries. It has also nume-
rous distilleries, extensive breweries, ironworks, and large manufac-
tories of porcelain, glass, paper, beetroot sugar, gunpowder, &c.
The great coal-fields of Charleroi and Liege, which are the most ex-
tensive in Belgium, will, by means of this line, be enabled to supply
all parts of the kingdom at a very reduced rate.
A considerable saving will be effected in the cost of iron, and of
the locomotive engines and traffic material, which will be manufac-
tured at the Couvin works ceded to this Company.
