and In this situation naturally becomes the great Trunk
line OF the State extending Outhwardy from New-York
The following roads, either built OF in contemplation,
run into this great line:
. First: The Shore Road about being built from Red

Tnckerton, the shore, and connects with the
main trunk at Writings. This road strikes rich aud
populous country upon the Shore and when nshed will
carry an immense amount OF business over the main

STth: The branch from AtsiOn TO Atco, connecting
with the Camden and Atlantic Railroad and forming

very valuable by tho building of the Wlliamspwn
