Irondale, Bancroft and Ottawa Ry.—During the current year a large number of new ties will be put in, some trestles will be filled, curves straightened out, the decks of the wooden bridges removed, and a considerable quantity of ballasting will be done on this line, which extends from Kinmount Jct., on the G.T.R. Hallburton line, to Bancroft, 47 1/2 miles. It is also proposed to construct 2 1/2 miles of additional line, making altogether 50 miles. The station now at the end of the track will be removed to the new terminal, which will be 2 1/2 miles from Bancroft village, a short distance further than the old one was. We are advised that a preliminary survey will also be made for the continuation of the line to a junction with Canada Altantic Ry. at Renfrew. (Nov., 1902, pg. 383.)
