The proposed line is intended to commence at a point on the Great
North of England Railway, near Northallerton, taking part of the
branch line to Richmond, now before Parliament, and diverging from
it a short distance cast of its terminus, thence following the south
side of the Tees Valley, up the Greta, over the line of the ancient
Roman way to Brough, forward within a short distance of Kirkby
Stephen, through the rich valley of the Eden, by way of Appleby,
and to join the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway near to Clifton, south
of Penrith. Diverting from this line, southward of Staininore, a
branch will proceed through Ravenstonedale to join the Lancaster
and Carlisle Railway between Orton and Borrow Bridge. The direc-
tion of the proposed line is north-west, following the mail-coach
route from York 'to Carlisle, and involving the least sacrifice of
distance in connecting together the two great trunk lines of rail-
way, the eastern and western sides of the island.
The distance from Northallerton to Penrith will be sixty-one miles;
of this fifty-five miles will be new railway, which, with the branch
to:Orton, seventeen additional miles, will form a total distance of
seventy-two miles.
The capital will be 1,500,0001., in 30,000 shares of fifty pounds
each. One-third-500,000/.—of which is placed at the disposal of the
Lancaster and Carlisle Board, to be appropriated amongst the parties
interested in that Company. The revenue will be derived front pas-
sengers travelling from all the eastern districts of the island south of
Darlington to Scotland, and from the counties of Durham and Na-
thurnberland to Lancashire, and the west of England, and Ireland.
In addition to the proceeds front passengers and goods, a very large
income will accrue from the extensive mineral resources of the
country. A better access will be made to the Lead Mines of Mid-
dleton-in-Teesdale, and to those in Westmorland. The line will
run near a large district of iron-stone, and become the channel for
the coal of Durham to pass into East Cumberland, Westmorland,
the north-west of Yorkshire, and Lancashire north of the Wyre. It
will form a' junction between the Baltic ports of the Wear and the
TONI and the western ports of Lancaster, Fleetwood, and Liverpool.
To increase the traffic to these large importing harbours, new docks
are now snaking at Hartlepool, and the Tees river has been declared
a " free port" to all vessels.
There are no canals in the district, and no direct =paw "Al-
ways. The local traffic is now conveyed by casts, while the through
trafiv Is cp,nye4;c4 Prom Manchester to Newcastle by York on the
one sand, or by Carlisle on the other. Stainmore is the route for the
agricultural produce of Cumberland passing into the colliery and
mining districts of Durham.
The general traffic has been estimated to yield all adequate return
for the proposed ealsitll,
—l46iftre)Sapisse of securing the coal trade a Branch will be made
from West Auckland to the line between Greta Bridge and Bowes.
This Branch will connect Barnard Castle with the Coal District as
well as give to that town a road to the south-west and to the Lorth.
