Tlii-^ road is ttie western link in the new AIR LINE 
from Buffalo to Chicago, ami runs from the Detroit River 
to Chicago in nearly a straight line. 
The road is a part of he same line as the Canada 
Southern, and is being bnilt by the same men— viz. : Mil- 
ton Courtright, John F. Tracy, David Dows, Win. L. 
Scott. Ilenry Farnam, R. A. Forsyth, Jnp. M. Burke, M. 
L. Sykes. Jr., all directors cither in the Chicago and 
North-West or the Chica/ro. Rock Island, and Pacific; 
George Opdyke, of the Midland Road; Sidney Dillon, 
Daniel Drew. John Ross, David Stewart. Samuel J. 
Til den, Kenyon Cos, and other prominent railroad men. 
The road, like the Canada Southern, will have steel 
rail* (60 pounds to the yard) throughout ; is practically 
straight and level; much shorter; and can be run with 
■jreater speed and safely than any other road connecting 
Buffalo and Chicago. 
Twenty-five miles are finished and running; seventy- 
five miles more are so far advanced as to be finished by 
January 1st; and tiie entire road will be completed dur- 
ing th ! ensuing year. Steel rails and ties for one half 
the entire road have already been purchased. 
The builders of the road cont ol enough of its Chicago 
feeders to obtain for it a profitable business from the 
sta t, having projected the line to accommodate existing 
business, arid having seen the necessity for another 
trunk line between Ch'cago and the Atlantic seaboard, 
located expressly with the view of obtaining the cheap- 
est transportation practicable. 
The branch lines will make the shortest connections 
between Chicago and Toledo and Ch ca^o and Detroit, 
as well as between all these points and Buffalo. 
The Canada Southern Bonds, in every particular like 
these, were eagerly taken, the last of them several weeks 
ago. by the best class of investors, and were on the mar- 
ket a sfliortcr time than any other railroad loan of like 
amount for years past. 
The proceeds of these Bonds will complete the entire 
line, and wc recommend them with the same confidence 
as we did the Canada Sonthern. ami regard them as in 
every way a choice security.
