SALE OF A RAILROAD.
Mr. Vanderbilt Buys the Troy and Bos-
ton Road and Secures for the Central
Terminus at Boston.

Troy, N. Y, July 4.-William H. Wander
bilt's check has been received in this city for
the sum of $125,000 in payment for $500, or
majority of shares of the stock of the Troy
and Boston Railroad Company. The purchase
was made from D. L. Vail, late treasurer of
that corporation. Mr.. Vanderbilt will imme-
diately assume the management of this route,
which is forty-eight miles in length, extending
from Troy to the Hoosac Tunnel The shares
were purchased at half their face value. Be-
fore the Hoosac Tunnel was completed this
stock was considered valueless. Since the
"great bore' has been finished the business of
this route has steadily increased. Now the
freight traffic between Troy and the Bay State
is larger than that over any single track road
in this country, upward of four hundred cars
moving both ways daily. The net profits from
earnings during the past year was published
under oath at $4,000. This looks as though
Mr.. Vanderbilt had secured bonanza. 1t is
stated that the new management will double
track the route and otherwise improve it. The
greater portion of the freight transported
comes direct from the West and goes from
Buffalo to Troy over the New York Central
route, thence to the tunnel. This is known as
the Hoosac Tunnel route, composed by the
different companies between Boston and St.
Louis, each contributing quota of cars.
