The Buffalo & Jamestown Railway has reached White’s Corners, twelve miles distant and a construction train leaves the depot of the B., N. Y. & P. Railroad at 6.30 o’clock overy morning, arriving here on its return every evening at 6.30. The train is used entirely in the work of construction, and offers no incidental accommodations to travelers.
The severe weather unavoidably retards immediate work upon the road, but preparations are being made for an active campaign when the weather will permit. The sub-contractors, Drew, Young, McClane & Co., who had the contract for the construction of twenty miles of the road, have been dilatory in meeting their obligations, but they have been released from their responsibility by the original contractors, Russell, Moulton & Co., of Michigan, who are determined to push the work as rapidly as possible. The Company expect to have their trains in motion between this city and Gowanda by the frst of next May.
