The Grand Trunk Railway Company is now
engaged in making some extensive improve
ments in this city, in order to accommodate
its increasing business, on the site of old At
lantic wharf which was partially burned last
summer The work has commenced and about
one-third of the foundation is already complet-
ed. This wharf is to be extended toward the
Allan steamship wharf so as to leave berth
between that and the new Atlantic wharf OF
about two hundred feet, and it will be built out
to the harbor line, being five hundred feet
from the sea wall, and comprising an area OF
about five acres. On the end and two sides OF
this wharf freight sheds will be built of about
one thousand feet in length by fifty feet in
width, Four tracks will be laid down the
wharf into these sheds to convey freight The
work of dredging is now going on around the
three sheds of this wharf to depth of twenty
four feet, Messrs. Curtis, Forbes & Co., con-
tracing for the same. I'll e pile driving is be-
ing done by Mr.. James S, Libby; the remain
der of the work is executed by the regular en-
ployes of the rood. All the work above men
toned is expected to be completed by the first
of October.
For the purpose of getting the requisite
curve of tracks on this wharf, il will be neces-
sary to take down the present freight house
which was originally erected as a passenger
station by the Atlantic e St. Lawrence Rail
road; and to provide some greater and more
convenient facilities for the local freight busl-
ness of this city. A large freight station Will
at once be erected on Fore street nearly oppo-
site the foot of Mountfort street. This build
ng will be built of wood with an exterior of
brick for better protection from fire, and will
be three hundred feet long by seventy-fiye in
width. Work was commenced on the founda-
ton of this building yesterday, and the labor
will be pushed forward as rapidly as possible to
completion, say by the first day of August
This arrangement will be great advantage to
the draymen of this city, as by it crossing OF
the tracks of the Grand Trunk Road will be
avoided. A convenient roadway will be laid
out by the company from Fore street to facili-
tate + he passage of teams, and considerable
traffic will thus necessarily resume its ancient
channel-Fore street.
The engine house in this immediate locality
is to be changed somewhat, extensive altera-
tons being contemplated, the dome is to be
taken down, and the recesses for the engines
are to be built out longer, etc.
Next winter two regular lines of steamships,
Zone the Allan line as heretofore) will run to
and from this port. The work allu ded to will
be executed of the best of material, and in the
desirable style of workmanship, for which the
Grand Trunk Railway is distinguished, and il
will involve an expenditure of 100000. The
plans are made by the direction of the Chief
Engineer, Mr.. Hannaford, and are executed
under the competent superintence of S. v
WILDER. Esq., the very competent and popula
engineer of construction in this city, who TO
.welva wears has executed so much faithful
building for this company.

The Portland daily press., 1874-05-26

How THEY DO IT.-There was considerable
curiousity manifested yesterday in railroad
circles to see the working of the connection be-
tween the Boston & Maine and the Grand
Trunk. Yesterday afternoon, just before the
afternoon train was due at the Grand Trunk,
mercial street, attached to Grand Trunk en-
CINE. The train was run into the depot of the
Grand Trunk, and on the arrival of the train
the passengers going via the Boston & Maine
| changed cars, while those going on the East
| ern road remained on the train. After trans
| ferring the passengers the Grand Trunk train
crossed over to the Eastern depot, followed by
| the Boston & Maine train, pushed by Grand
| Trunk engine. On the arrival of the latter
train at the frog, Bost on and Maine engine
was awaiting and coupled on and run up to
| their depot. The Boston g. Maine engine
| could take it's own train across the city if
they had the right to the road, but as they have
not they hire Grand Trunk engine to do it
for them. The Boston & Maine celebrated
the arrival of their trains in the Grand Trunk
depot by putting torpedoes under the wheels OF
the engine as the cars rolled into the depot.
1t is understood that the depot of the Grand
| Trunk is to be wdened to allow another track
to accommodate the Boston s. Maine. 1t is
rumored that the latter road would like to
build an addition to the Grand Trunk depot for
permanent depot.
