PROPOSED GRAND TRUNK FEEDER.


A project is on foot to extend the Sandy
River railroad from Pennington down
through Pennington Falls and ChesterVille
to Livermore Falls, and then across the An
droscoggin to Turner, and from there to con-
meet with the Grand Trunk railroad at either
Auburn or Lewiston. This IS newly pro-
posed route, and is meeting with great ap-
pr0val through this entire section. This
proposal allows the Grand Trunk to compete
for the Rangeley Lake excursion travel and
the great timber freighting Of Franklin
county and the adjacent section OF Somerset
county, whose business drains over on to the
Franklin county lines.
II this connecting link could be built from
Farmington TO Lewiston, and then all the
roads embraced in the linked line leased to
the Grand Trunk, viz, Pennington q Lewis
ton, Sandy River, Franklin & Megantie, and
Phillips & Rangeley railroads, the saving
that would result from this item alone would
more than pay the interest on the entire cost
OF the link from FarmiLgtOn to Lewiston.
