Railway notes.
The Grand Trunk Railway has broken records for laying tracks. On Sunday of a week ago from 7 a.m. till 7 p.m. the rails on the line between Bronte and Burlington, a distance of 7 1/2 miles, were taken up and new ones put down. The old rails had been down since 1889 and weighed 79 pounds each. They were replaced by 80 pound rails. The work was done by a gang of 95 men in charge of Roadmaster T. S. Scott.
