SECRETARY—Thomas Philbrick, Esq.
This line is intended to commence at Louth, and to proceed, by way
of Market Rasen, to the town and port of Gainsborough. In the
county of Lincoln; and is projected for the purpose of completing a
direct communication with the towns of Rotherham, Sheffield, Man-
chester, and Liverpool, and thus affording to the rich grazing and
agricultural divisions of the county a ready access to those towns,
which have always been the natural markets for the produce of the
district ; and at the same time to provide a certain and speedy
transit for manufactured goods and other articles of merchandise.
The communication by railway between these important towns has
not, by existing arrangements, been provided for, except by very
circuitous routes; indeed, that part of the line from :Market Rasen to
Gainsborough has been entirely overlooked; and therefore the pre-
sent one has been proposed to meet the wants of the district on the
strong representations and request of a large and respectable body
of gentry deeply interested in the success of the scheme.
It is useless to dwell in the present day. upon the advantages of
railway communication, as those towns which do not avail them-
selves of the facilities afforded must eventually sink In importance.
To Louth and the surrounding neighbourhood especially the pro-
posed line cannot fail to be of paramount importance, as opening, in-
dependently of passengers' traffic, a dlrectmeans of transit for cattle,
corn, goods, &c., &c., to and from all the great Yorkshire, Lancashire.
and other important markets.
An examination of the map will at once show this, and also the
connexion of the proposed line with other important railways both
in Lincolnshire, the adjacent counties, and all parts of the kingdom.
To those acquainted with the town of Louth and its neighbour-
hood, it is unnecessary to point out the immense exportation of
cattle, corn, wool, &c., to the Yorkshire markets, or the large im-
portation of Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield, and other goods into
the district, and the facilities the proposed line will afford for a

patty with support, have pleasure in announcing that the traffic re-
turns will be of a highly satisfactory character.
It is no slight advantage in this scheme, that it cannot be said to
interfere with existing railways. The main feature is the improve-
ment of communication between important towns by the old na-
tural roads, and thus affording facilities to the agricultural and com-
mercial interests, and to the public generally, in and through a dis-
trict where a railway is essentially necessary for its ultimate and
lasting prosperity.
