The Wells River Railroad.

Being detained at Wells River few hours
recently, we took pains to get at some facts per-
tanning to the present condition and prospects OF
this enterprise, the progress of which is watched
with so much interest by our people. II seems
that nearly four hundred men are now at work
on the whole route, One hundred being west Of
the summit, and three hundred east. The most
formidable work on the route is the rock cut at
Wells River Some twenty-five men are at work
there, but slow progress is made on account OF
the dip being the wrong way. II seems as If
the force ought to be doubled at least. From
Wells River to Boltonyille the road-bed is almost
completed, and thence to Groton it is all done
but the masonry. Probably in May OF the fore
part Of June they will commence laying rails at
both ends Of the route. The only trestle work on
the line is at Planfeld $50 feet long and 30 feet
high The highest grade is so feet TO the mile.
The average grade on the line is not over 90 feet
to the mile. The largest earth cut is east Of Boil
tonyIlle, 10000 yards, the next largest at East
Montpelier, 1000. The deepest cut is at Boil
tonyile, on the upper slope, 80 feet, the depth at
central point about 30 feet. The hardest work
on the line was at the Loyeland ledge, 1t being
composed Of granite bouiders wedged in The
line contains eleven bridges, one pile bridge in
South Ryegatc one fair sized trestle and several
smaller ones to be filed. No span over $50 feet
and no piers under any Of them. Mr.. cleveland,
the contractors chief engineer, thinks the road
will be completely ironed by August.
All friends oi the enterprise award great credit
