Brantford deviation.—Work has been commenced on the deviation from the Hamilton-London main line at Fairchild's creek bridge, near Lynden station, which is to run into Brantford, to enable the main line trains to run through that city instead of via Harrisburg, as at present. The trains will run on to the main line again at Paris. The deviation is about 4 miles in length, and will cost about $200,000. There is considerable rock-cutting to be done, as well as some excavation through heavy gravel.
