amet advan . Throughout the several counties which will be opened up by this
an_ e, there are very extensive ranges of cultivated land, besides large
nistricts highly susceptible of improvement, the resources of which
have hitherto remained undeveloped for want of a ready access to
favourable markets, such as this railway will afford.
One proiltable article of transport will be the cattle and sheep an.
mall
sent from the north to the southern markets. Already
30,000 cattle, and 150,000 sheep travel annually along the direct road
from Inverness to Perth, for the Falkirk and other markets. About
as many more from the western Highlands would join at Ringussie
or Dalwinnie, half-way on the line. These could be conveyed at
less cost than at present, without either the loss of thne or the de-
terioration In quality, which they at present sustain.
This line will also enable the agriculturists of the north to extend
the fattening of stock, for which their country is admirably adapted,
but which, from the want of facilities of transport to the southern
Markets, has hitherto been prosecuted only in a comparatively
limited degree. The importance of this branch of trade may be
estimated from the fact, that Aberdeenshire alone sends such an
amount of fat stock and butcher-meat to England by the weekly
steamers as yields to them in freight a yearly revenue of about
30,0001.
This line will also furnish the means of conveying coals, lime,
manures and merchandise to the populous valleys of the Tay, Blair-
Ranh the Spey, the Findhorn, and the districts of Badenoch and
I.ch, to which the only conveyance at present is by cartage from
' and the seaports of the Moray Frith.
