Lake Erie and Northern Ry.—The work of finishing up the line between Brantford and Galt, Ont., is nearly completed, and it is expected to have a regular train service in operation very soon. In Brantford work was started June 8, on the retaining wall at the Lorne Bridge, which was expected to be raised to the new level by June 30. No construction is in progress on the line between Brantford and Waterford, and local reports state that it is likely the company will run its trains over the Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo Ry. between these two points. Beyond Waterford and Port Dover work has been restarted, and considerable progress is being made. A number of C.P.R. engineers, who were engaged on the second track work between Inslington and Guelph Jct., were ordered to report on the work, and a C.P.R. bridge construction gang was sent to Simcoe.

It was stated in Brantford, June 17, that any intention of utilizing the T.H. and B.R. station in the city, and the T.H. and B.R. line between Brantford and Waterford, had been abandoned. The L.E. and N.Ry. will, it is stated, build its own station in the city, and its own line to Waterford. (June, pg. 266.)

Railways: L.E. & N.Ry., T.H. & B.Ry.
