This railway is intended to commence at the east part of the city
of Exeter, neat St. Sidwells, and after passing through Topsham,
with a fork at Woodbury by Lympstone to Exmouth, will proceed, in
an easterly direction, towzrds Sidmouth, and thence, near Colyton.
Beer, Seaton, Axmouth, Lyme Regis, and Charmouth, to Bridport.
At Bridport the line will divide, taking the course direct to Dor-
chester, to join the Southampton and Dorchester Railway, and the
other, passing near Bridport harbour and Abbotsbury to Weymouth,
At Exeter, junctions will be formed with the Bristol and Exeter and
North Devon Railways, and at Exmouth with the South Devon; by
means of their steam ferry, thus mak'ng the most direct route to
Plymouth from London. Also at Dorchester and Weymouth it will
be connected with the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, as well as
with the Dorchester and Southampton at Dorchester.
It will be seen, on reference to the map, that by forming a junc-.
tion with the lines of coast railway that have already been con-
structed or commenced from Exeter westward, and from Dorchester
eastward, and by following the coast as nearly as is practicable be-
tween its termini, this line will effectually complete a railway com-
munication from Dover to the Land's End, an undertaking in itself
of great national importance, and likely to meet with the cordial sup-
port of the Government.
In fixing the course which this Railway will take. it has been the
careful consideration of the Promoters to project only such a Line as
will afford the greatest facility of communication to the populous and
important towns and fashionable watering places which are situated .
on and near that part of the Coast which this Railway is particu-
larly meant to accommodate ; whilst, at the same time, the Agri-
cultural, Manufacturing, and Commercial Interests of this part o
the Kingdom have been equally studied.

This Line will also open such additional means of communication
to the Port of Weymouth, the large Manufacturing Town and Har-
bour of Bridport, and the Harbour of Lyme Regis, as must even-
tually replace them in that high position, when compared with the
other Ports of the Kingdom, which they formerly held. The Water-
ing Places of Exmouth, Budleigh-Salterton, Sidmouth, Charmouth;
Lyme-Regis, Weymouth, &c., will be thus thrown open to every part
of England and Wales, and accommodated with that facility of ac-
cess which they alone require to place them on an equal position
with other favourite places of resort, for which the picturesque In-
land and bold Coast-Scenery of Devonshire and Dorsetshlre is pre-
eminently proverbial, and justly entitles them to hold.
The following extract from the Report of the Select Committee of
the House of Lords on the " Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Rail-
way," made on the 18th of June, 1845, will show the sense enter-
tained by that body of the importance of a line of railway in the di-
rection proposed by the present Company :—" In making their re-
port, the Committee feel it their duty to state that the great diffi-
culty with them, in deciding on the Bill referred to them, had arisen
from the fear they entertained whether, in allowing the Great
Western Railway to come down to the sea at Weymouth, or even be-
low Yeovil, they might not be creating a difficulty as to making a
railway in the most desirable manner to Falmouth, the most westerly
port in the Channel."
The great importance of this railway may be further estimated,
from a consideration of the fact that the local population which would
be benefited by its construction exceeds two hundred thousand
persons.
And also that Weymouth, which will be one of the termini of the
line, is about to become a great National Harbour of Refuge and
Packet-station, toy the construction of a breakwater in Portland
Roads, in accordance with the recommendation of the Government
Commissioners, for which purpose a grant was made during the
last
session of Parliament for commencing the works. The additional
population and traffic, which will thus be attracted to this port,
will
be very considerable.
