RAILROAD NOTES.

It is thought, by those in position to know, that the work of four-tracking the Consolidated road between Port Chester and South Norwalk will begin as soon as the weather permits of it, and that it is likely that land on the south side of the present tracks in Stamford will be purchased. This fact has been speculated upon by owners of property on both sides of the tracks, and even yet there is some doubt as to which side the company will select to improve up- on. According to recent survey, it has been discovered that the tracks be- tween Stamford and South Norwalk are so laid as to form the letter s. This de- feet will be remedied and the roads be- tween the points straightened. At Mount Vernon the company is making extensive improvements, and fine, sub- stantial bridges are being built over all the crossings in that section, in compli- ance with the laws of New York state. | TStamford Advocate.
