THE ROAD Is SIXTY-EIGHT MILES LONG, run
ming through Hartford and Lchdeld counties having
its Eastern terminus in the City of Hart ord where It
connects with Railways already constructed extending
North, East, and South, and with Connecticut River
Boats.
Its Western terminus is at Mllerton Station on the
Harlem Railroad by which road a through connection is
secured to New York an Albany, and at the latter pun
to the West by the New York Central Railroad
At Millerton II connects with the Duchess d Co
lumbia, and the Poughkeepse and Eastern Raj roads
the former terminating at Fshkll where 1t connects
with the Erie and Hudson River Railroads. the North
River Boats and the latter terminating at the growing
and enterprising city Of Poughkecpsie
1t will also connect with the Connecticut and Rondout
Railroad, soon to be built thus securing direct commun-
cation with the Eastern Depot Delaware and Hud
son Canal Company, and the Rondout and Oswego and
Midland Railroads.

and Northampton Railroad at Simsbury, and its New
Hartford Branch at Coinsville and New Hartford the

Road between the Sound and the Western Railroad of
Massachusetts, and by reason of the physical character
OF the country must control large local and through
business beyond the reach Of com petition.
Its central position, direcness and connections with
the network of roads West from the Hudson River as
well as those leading Boston other points East and
North must inevitably make il the main avenue for pas
senger travel East and West.
Its reightins business hardly he estimated The
populous country which II raverses will be directly dc
pendent upon for supplies of Lumber GRAIN Cattle
Breadstuis and Coal hitherto obtained by most circui-
tous and expensive routes.
Its connections with the coal fields are short and d.
rect reaching, as 1t does the depots of the two great coal
companies to wit, the Pennsylvania Coal Company at
Newburgh and the Delaware and Hudson Canal Com
pany at Ron9ou enabling the company not only to sup
ply the large demand for coal along the line of its own
road but that of connecting roads North and East In
dec It believed by those who have carefully inves
gated the subject, that these two coal companies will
supply larger amount of tonnage than can be trans
ported over single track road.
The cement from Hudson, the immense iron interests
OF Salisbury the lime and marble of Canaan, and the
heavier manufacturing interests of Colllnsvllle New
Hartford and Wins ed, guarantee large profitable and
increasing freight business.
