This Railway has been projected to secure to Manchester and the
flourishing manufacturing district of Lancashire a direct communica-
tion with Newcastle-upon-Tyne and the important ports and districts
in the north-eastern part of the kingdom.
The Rahway is intended to commence at tke Richmond Branch of
the Great North of England Railway, and to proceed by way of
Middleharn, Settlewell, and Gargrave, to a point on the extension of
the Leeds and Bradford Railway, between Skipton and Colne, with
such additions thereto as may effect the most direct communication
with Manchester.

—.—
This project will effect several objects of great public importance.
It will supply the most direct and shortest railway communication
between the manufacturing district of Lancashire and the ports of
Newcaiiie, Hartlepool, and the free port of the Tees ; affecting a
saving in distance of about 60 miles, and a consequent saving in the
time of transit. _

Again, this undertaking will afford the advantages of railway
communication to an extensive district at present wholly destitute of
both railways and canals, and sapply coals from the Durham coal
fields to the district on its route. _ .

Iron, stone, lead, blue lime-stone, and flags, are found in great
abundance on the line of the intended Railway, which will largely
develop the mineral resources of the district.
