ished From Cambridge to Sheldon the most
of the heavy cuttings are done. From Sheldon
to Swanton the grading is completed, except
one small cut at Sheldon, and the piers for the
bridge at Swanton. an four miles more of
track laid at the western terminus. The re-
naming fourteen miles from the Connecticut
