There has been created within the last ten years a Productive Property in Railways amounting to more than Sixty 

 Millions sterling, with a Revenue of nearly Six Millions per Annum. This addition to the wealth and resources of England 

 has been produced by the Investment of the funds of nearly Fifty Thousand Individuals, who form the Railway Constituency ol 

 Great Britain. It affords employment to a great body of our Workmen, tends to the development of our industrial Capabiltiei, 



and is a boon to the whole travelling Population. ... 



It is strongly felt that Railway property, involving interests so extensive, should not be exposed to the injurious effects wnicn 

 the want of sound information and the circulation of erroneous statements for party purposes so constantly produce ; and it nas 

 appeared, to those most capable of judging, that the mutual interests of the Proprietary, the Managers, and the Railway Executive, 

 and the Public interests with which they are identified, have as yet found no organ in which they can be fairly discussed ana 

 satisfactorily adjusted. The Eailtoap Chronicle has been projected to supply this deficiency, by the establishment °*_™
