DUDLEY and BIRMINGHAM JUNCTION
RAILWAY,
Combining the ?road and narrow gauges, in continuation of the
Ox d, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line.
Capital 200,0001., in 10,t00 Shares of 201. each.
Deposit 21. 10s. per Share.
(Provisionally Registered.)
This line will CO mmcnce at the station
.of the Oxford, Worcester,
and Wolverhanrpt m Railway, at Dudley, and run into the line of
the Grand Jnnctio n Company near to Birmingham. It will traverse
or pass in the i air aediate vicinity of the following populous manu-
facturing towns at id places, viz., Great Bridge,. Swan Village, Old •
bury, West Br on iwich, Handsworth, and Smethwick, and in its
course it will aff. err d railway accommodation to a manufacturing and
mining populatio a of upwards of a quarter of a million.
The names of .th a places of the proposed termini, and the above
indication of the co arse of the intended line, must abundantly sa-
tisfy every one t:sa t it presents the certainty of a lucrative traffic
both in goods and*. passengers. It is almost unnecessary to speak
further of so plain: a necessity as that of railway accommodation for
such a district.
The wonder w DU: 'd be that the proposed line had not been esta-
blished long befot a, were it not for one very obvious and very poten-
tial reason to wh tel s it is owing that this rich district has hitherto
been suffered to fa ii ain destitute of railway accommodation. The
district has been ni to this time deprived of the benefits of railway
means of transit R ,ecause it was one of the richest farms of the
Birmingham Can si Company ; and it is to overcome the depressing
influence of such a •destitution that the present plan has been pro-
jected.
The intended I Is to will not interfere with any existing line of
railway, but it w W materially extend the usefulness of the several
lines about to be • connected with Dudley, and in particular that
great mining distri Ci trunk line, the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver-
hampton Railway, as also the Shrewsbury and South Staffordshire
Junction ; beSides„ it will afford to the populous districts around
Dudley and Birm Mg ham the direct benefits of fair and liberal com-
petition in passenger conveyance and in the transit of their industrial
products to their i rin alpal market.
The number of oft nibuses, coaches, and swift canal packet-boats
continually travelling between the termini, afford the strongest as-
surance of the pros pea tof a large passenger traffic : while the bulky
nature and vast ex tens of the mining and manufacturing produce of
this well-known d: strt"ri equally vouch for that in goods; and the
whole leaves no di ,übt but that the financial returns of such an un-
dertaking must r ield a n ample remuneration for the capital ex-
pended.
In an engineerf ng point of view, it has been ascertained, by careful
surveys, that the line is highly favourable, and presents not the
