 The surplus revenue for the year is ,^36,432 63. This is less than was anticipated, 
 but the heavy snows of last winter added greatly to the running expenses, and the 
 depressed state of business in this Province, and the troubles in the neighbouring 
 States, prevented that increase of traflSc which otherwise might reasonably have been 
 expected. 
 
 The amount added to Capital Account for the year is ^186,839 91. 
 
 This may be classified as fo'.lows : —

 The Railway, with its present complement of Stations, Sidings, and Rolling Stock, 
 has cost, up to 1st November last, |!4,548,564 59, or $42,116 34 per mile ; equal 
 to £8,774 4 9 Sterling. 
 
 As the Road is well drained and ballasted, and generally in thorough good order, it 
 J8 oelieved that it can be kept in running condition 'tvith the ordinary maintenance.

 RAILWAY COMMISSIONERS' REPORT. 
 
 Some few Sidings and Loading Platforms will probably still be required ; and it is 
 desirable that a connection with the water should be provided at Saint John. 
 
 The only material addition to the Capital Account, or cost of the Railway, that may 
 be anticipated, can only arise from a largely increased traffic, rciiuiring additional 
 Rolling Stock, Stations, and Sidings. 
 
 Respectfully submitted.

RESIDEfVT Er¥OI]¥EER'S REPORT. 
 
 Engineers' Office, St. John, N. B,, 
 January 18, 1862. 
 
 ROBERT JARDINE, Esquire, 
 
 Chief Commissioner. 
 
 Sir,— 
 
 I have the honour to submit the following Report of the operations of the Engineer- 
 ing Department of the Railway, during the year that has elapsed since I was placed 
 in charge : — 
 
 In reviewing in their order the various points along the Railway, I have taken each 
 District by itself. 
 
 SAINT JOHN DISTRICT, 
 
 From Saint John to Ossekcag. 
 
 The number of Sidings in the Saint John Station Yard has been increased, and a 
 "Fairbanks Patent " Track Scale put up, the latter being much required for the purpose 
 of weighing Engines, Cars and their loads. The Ballast used in the yard has been 
 that brought by vessels entering the harbour, and has cost less than any that could 
 have been otherwise procured of sufficiently good quality. Throughout the District, 
 wherever the slopes of the cuttings had slipped, they have either been trimmed flatter 
 and supported by retaining walls, or properly drained and sodded. Most of them 
 are now, I believe, secure. Much trouble and expense have been saved on Sections 
 5 and G of this District, owing to the slopes of the cuttings having been covered 
 with sods as soon as they were trimmed, while, from my knowledge of the nature 
 of these cuttings at the time they were taken out, I have no hesitation in anying, that 
 this plan, though apparently expensive at first, has already saved more than its cost. 
 
 HAMPTON DISTRICT. 
 
 From Ossekeag to Sussex. 
 
 Two new Sidings have been laid in the District during the year. The embankments 
 having settled in several places, I was obliged to use additional ballast to bring them

 up to the proper height. With these exceptions, nothing beyond the ordinary mainte- 
 nance has been necessary. 
 
 SUSSEX DISTRICT, 
 Sections 10 to 16, loth inclusive. 
 
 In Sussex Station Yard a Shed has been built to cover the Turntable, as well to 
 protect it from injury by the weather, as to save the expense of keeping it free from 
 snow during the Avinter. The Freight Platforms have been enlarged and improved, 
 so as to facilitate the loading of timber and other heavy freight. Water has been 
 brought into the yard from a spring of sufficient size to ensure a constant supply, 
 and with head enough to throw water over any of the buildings in case of fire. The 
 Pipes used are the "Patent Cement Pij^es," similar to those laid down in Carleton. 
 
 In consequence of the appearance of springs in the bottom of one of the cuttings on 
 Section 11, I v,as obliged to incur considerable expense in building large French drains 
 and putting on new ballast. One of the Cuttings on Section 13, has also been very 
 troublesome, owing to the peculiar nature of the material through which it is made. 
 The embankuicnt west of Pcnobsquis, which, notwithstanding the judicious means 
 adopted f.)r its preservation by the former Enginoeis, was in danger of being injured 
 by the rapid current of Stone's Brook, has been wideneil and further pretectal. A 
 small amount has been expended in slope draining and ballasting such other parts of 
 the District as required it. At Anagance, a large freight platform has been put up 
 for the accommodation of the lumber traffic of that Station. At Petitcodiac, a Tank 
 House has been built, into which water is brought from two springs distant about one- 
 third of a mile. The pipes used are the " Patent Bituminized Pipes," which, costing 
 less than half as much as iron, are said to bo practically as strong and much more 
 durable — they arc light to handle, and can be easily and quickly laid. 
 
 SALISBURY DISTRICT, 
 From the end of Section 16 to Moncton. 
 
 This District, as far as regards the superstructure, has been the most expensive and 
 troublesome on the Line. The ballast first put on, though the best that could bo found 
 on the district at the time, was originally of inferior quality, and Avas made worse by 
 the slurry from the slopes. The embankments are almost all heavy and in some in- 
 stances had settletl considerably. These and other causes rendered it necessary to put 
 on a large quantity of ballast, some of which had to be brought from a great distance. 
 In axldition to this, many of the cuttings proved to be very wet, making a thorough

 system of slope drainage indispensable. At Steves' Lake cutting, especially, though 
 the slopes were considered well drained, the action of the heavy snows and thaws of 
 last winter, brought them down almost bodily. I have had more drains put in, new 
 ditches dug and the slopes properly trimmed, poiled and sown with grass seed. I have 
 now great pleasure in stating that they have stood the test of the frequent rains of last 
 Autumn, without receiving much injury. A Tank House has been built at Steves' 
 Lake. The water for this Tank is led along the embankment nearly a n)ile in wooden 
 pipes from a brook which crosses the Railway, at sufficient elevation to give the neces- 
 sary head. 
 
 MONCTON AND SHEDIAC DISTRICT, 
 
 From Monrton to Point du Chene. 
 
 At Shcdiac, the Turntable has been covered Avith a shed as at Sussex. The Black- 
 smith's Shop has been enlarged, and a Brass-furnace added to the Machine Shop. 
 Shediac Station is now supplied with water from a spring distant about a mile and a 
 quarter, and there, as at Sussex and Petitcodiac, there is sufficient head to be useful in 
 case of fire. The pipes used are the " Patent Bituminized Pipes." The Shediac 
 Station Buildings are very much crowded together, and in consequence, the yard is 
 constantly blocked up with snow in winter. I would, therefore, suggest that the 
 Engine and Car Sheds should be moved to the Eastward of the Machine Shop. This 
 could be done at a small cost, and would be a material improvement to the yard. 
 
 The Wharf at Point du Chene, which was formerly merely ballasted with stone, has 
 been planked over the entire surface, and a second track, with the necessary points and 
 crossings, has been laid the whole length of the wharf A large (juantity of ballast, 
 and part of the former trtick, were Avashed away by a storm in the autumn of 1860 ; 
 the efficacy of the present plan has been fully proved by the fact that the storms of last 
 autumn, during which the sea broke completely over the wharf, did no damage. 
 Additional fender posts have also been put on, so that there are now berths at the 
 Aviiai'f for three steamera. Tl: 3 passenger and freight platforms have been enlarged, 
 and such improvements made in the arrangement of them, as experience in the nature 
 of the traffic showed to bo necessary. The channel at the end of the Avharf, which, in 
 some places, was too shallow for steamers, has been deepened to 13 feet at low water. 
 
 I may here endorse the recommendation of Mr. Light, late Chief Engineer, that 
 the small wooden bridges at Big Scadouc, Little Scadouc, and Cook's Brook, should 
 be replaced by stono culverts. These bridges, having been standing about seven years, 
 
I,. ] 
 
 fit 
 
 16 
 
 RAILWAY COMMISSIONERS' REPORT. 
 
 must, in the ordinary course of things, soon require renewal ; and as sandstone, easily 
 quarried and worked, can be procured at Scadouc River, the cost of the culverts, need 
 not greatly exceed that of new wooden bridges. I have caused such repairs to be made 
 on these bridges as will render them secure for the winter. 
 
 I have also to report generally, that the Railway is now well provided with Sidings, 
 the total length being over thirteen miles, of which more than a mile has been laid 
 during tho past year ; that the water-ways have proved quite sufficient to vent all the 
 water ; and that the Bridges, Culverts, and other structures, are all in good order. 
 
 The slopes of every cutting have been soiled, and sown with grass and clover seed ; 
 if this is repeated, where necessary, till the slopes arc completely grassed over, the 
 expense of maintenance will be much decreased. 
 
 The following Watering Stations are now supplied with Water by gravitation, viz: — 
 St. John, Rothsay, Quisparasis, Ossekeag, Mooseliorn, Sussex, Petitcodiac, Steves' 
 Lake, and Shediac ; the cost of pumping is thus saved at tliese stations, while there is 
 the further advantage of increased protection from fire. 
 
 In conclusion, I am happy to be able to state, that the Railway, throughout its 
 
 whole length, is in good running order, and that the true economy of having tho work 
 
 thoroughly done at first, is already making itself manifest in the extremely small cost 
 
 of maintenance. 
 
 I remain, Sir, 
 
 Your obedient servant,

 accompanied by tlie most intense cold,) which rendered the transmission of freight 
 exceedingly difficult, and materially affected the general business, the transpoi-tatioD, 
 and other expensed, would have been less by from i^oOO to si^lOOO per month, and, it is 
 safe to say, the llovenuo would have been materially enhanced. The necessity for the 
 increased expenses, it is well known, was the cause of the more than corresponding 
 decrease in receipts. The demand for lumber of all kinds was such, at this time, that 
 an extra Train would, but for this reason, have been employed during the winter months. 
 Eventually, however, the extraordinary depth to wliicli the snoAv attained, prevented, to 
 a large extent, the luinboving operations l)eing prosecuted.

 It will thus be seen, that ^Yhilst the number of Passengers has increased the past 
 over the previous year, 14-1 per cent, and the number carried one mile 88-6 per cent, 
 the average receipts, per mile, from each, have decreased iIm". or about t'l of a cent. 
 
 A comparative statement of the weight of Freight cannot be given, except for the last 
 three months, no record having been kept until August, 1860.

 Thus, while for the quarter, the transactions in Freight shew an increase of 2527 
 tons, or nearly 35^ per cent, over the con-esponding period of the pi '»vious year ; the 
 month of October exhibits a deficiency of 836 tons or about 29 ^ percent — that also, 
 whilst, from all Stations, the tons conveyed one mile are in excess 105,220, or a 
 fraction short of 39J per cent., and the portion, carried between terminal Stations, 
 exceeds the last quarter of 1860, by 450 tons, or a shade over 43 per cent., and the 
 tonnage transported one mile by 43,325 tons, or nearly 37 per cent., the average 
 receipts from all Stations per ton, are less by 159684 cents, and per ton per mile by 
 -5294 of a cent, and between terminal Stations |)er ton $1-1168, and per ton per 
 mile -8936 of a cent. 
 
 The small quantity of Freight transported during the month of October, may, in 
 part, be accounted for by the fact that a very limited amount of business was done in 
 the Province of Prince Edwiird Island, the past autunni, owing to the prevailing low 
 prices for grain, and the generally depressed state of trade everywhere experienced. 
 
 The deficiency in the rates as hero shown, is in part, owing to the charges having 
 been largely reduced to favor the steamers connecting at Point du Chene, and to foster 
 the trade of the Northern counties and Prince Edward Island with St. John, and, 
 through St. John, with the cities of the United States.

 The " Freight Statement" (see Table) gives the weight forwarded from, and received 
 at, each Station for the year, as well as the quantity sent East and West. 
 
 It will be seen that the amount sent West exceeds that forwarded East by 
 8,168,502 fts., equal to 4,084 tons, or nearly 28 per cent. 
 
 A monthly classification is also given, by which it has been ascertained that of the

 The system of giving the Receipts and Expenses, and other item.s, before enumerated, 
 per mile run of the Engines, is almost universally practised. 
 
 It lins, however, notwithstanding this, been suggested that in order, generally, to 
 institute C()rrcct comparisons, and arrive at proper conclusions with regard to Locomo- 
 tive pcrformanco.-i. the actual gross Ions carried one mile (to include cars as well as 
 their contents,) should be given, in addition to the expenses conveniently classified, that 
 tho cost per ion per mile, for each item might be arrived at. 
 
 This proposition is self-evident, and so important, as an incentive to true economy in 
 the mnnagcnicnt of the Locomotives, that I propose no time shall be lost in introducing 
 a sy.stem, \vliich is almost sure to be fraught with beneficial results. 
 
 If wo compare the per centagc which the earnings, from each, Passengers, Freight, 
 &c , bear to the gross leceipts, and thi\t which each division of the Traffic expenses is 
 to the whole cost of operating, it will result : —

 The expenses the past, are 7212, and the previous year, C8-87 per cent, of the 
 receipts. 
 
 So far, as I have been able to ascertain, a comparison of the operating expenses of 
 this, Avith that of Railways generally in this country, after due allowance is made for 
 differences in classification, would result, very nearly as follows : —

 For the present year a saving may be effected in working the Engines, but I do not 
 think a general reduction in the Locomotive expenses may be looked for. 
 
 Until renewals are extensively required, the " maintenance " will not, in all proba- 
 bility, exceed ,^20,000 per annum, about $185 per mile of Railway or Ten Cents per 
 naile run, supposing the gross Engine mileage, not to exceed 200,000. For this we are 
 mainly indebted to the excellent character of the roadway. 
 
 Should the Freighting business extensively increa.sc, as I trust it may, and, with 
 the return of pro;?perity to the general business of the country, there is very little 
 doubt it will, the "transportation" expenses may be increased, the extent depending 
 wholly upon the nature and character of the Traffic. 
 
 The same remarks may be made with equal force, with regard to the item of 
 " general management," particularly so far as is applicable to Station expenses. 
 
 Upon the whole, I may remark, there is little doubt, but, that the general business 
 of the Road, may very materially increase without a corres|)onding outlay. 
 
 A Track Scale having been provided during the past season, advantage was taken 
 thereof to weigh the Locomotives, with a view, ultimately, of arriving at their capacity 
 for transporting Freight upon the maximum grades and curves. Nothing, however, 
 has yet been done, beyond making the Record, which will lie found on reference to the 
 " Statement of Locomotives," before referred to. 
 
RAILWAY COMMISSIONERS' REPORT.

 The entire stock of Cars have also been weighed, with the view not only of always 
 being enabled to ascertain the weight of Freight, often transported in bulk, but, 
 hereafter, to arrive at the actual gross tons hauled. The paticulars will be found on 
 reference to " Statement of Cars" appended. 
 
 The Rolling Stock has been increased the past year by the addition of — 
 
 2 Engines, 
 
 8 Box Freight Cars. 
 
 The Engines w«e built in this City, by Messrs. Fleming & Humbert, of the 
 Phoenix Foundry, and the Cars at the Manufactory of the late Mr. Frederick James. 
 
 The entire Rolling Stock at this time consists of — 
 
 14 Engines, 
 
 12 first class Passenger Cars, 
 
 6 second class " " 
 
 4 Express, Mail and Baggage Cars, 
 63 Box Freight " 
 
 105 Platform Freight " 
 
 40 four-wheel Ballast " 
 
 4 Snow Ploughs, 
 19 Hand Cars. 
 
 The Box Freight Cars were last year erroneously given as 64. The number should 
 have been 55. 
 
 The Casualities have been as follows : — 
 
 Alex. McDonald, a Trackman, when working the Flange Cleaner, near Cook's Brook, 
 on the 17th January last, fell from the Car. His arm and shoulder being crushed by 
 the wheels, he died on the evening of the following day. 
 
 Wm. Bannister, a Brakeman, in attempting to get up between two Box Cars, at 
 Salisbury on the 18th June, for the purpose of shackling, when the Cars were moving, 
 fell over the rail and was instantly killed. 
 
 When shifting Cars at Sussex, about 10 o'clock, on the evening of 3rd October, 
 one Car ran over the instep of the foot of a man named Clarke, who, as it afterwards 
 appeared, had been lying asleep between the Tracks with one foot extended over the 
 Rail. 
 
 Garrett Cotter, a passenger on the last evening down Train from Sussex, on the 2nd 
 October, when about one mile west of Norton Station, in attempting to pass from a 
 
34 
 
 RAILWAY COMMISSIONERS' REPORT.

 Baggage Car to an open seated Platform, fell between, the rear Cars of the Train 
 passing over his arm and shoulder. lie died during the night. 
 
 Graham Heard, a Trackman, when turning a Hand Cur, between North River and 
 Salisbury, on the 21st October, was thrown therefrom by the action of the crank. 
 The Car passing over him, lie rcccivc<l sucii injuries as I have understood caused his 
 death about three weeks after. 
 
 " The Staff," as constituted at the close of the year is given in the appendix. 
 
 Mr. Ilenry A. Whitney has since been apjx»iiited Locomotive Foreman, in the room 
 of Mr. Z. Lord. Mr. IL D. McLcod promoted to a Clerkship in this office, vacant by 
 the resignation of Mr. William Forster ; and Mr. C. F. Olive has been made Station 
 Master at Sussex. 
 
 In the Appendix will also be found a synopsis of the stores on hand at the close of 
 the year. 
 
 During the early part of the past season arrangements were entered into with the 
 '•International Steamship Company," whoso steamers [ily between this City and 
 Eastport, Portland and Boston, and the Agents of the Steamers connecting with the 
 Railway at Point du Chene for Bedenue, Charlottetown and Pictou on the one hand, 
 and Richibucto, Miramichi, Bathurst, Dalhousic, Paspcbiac, Gaspe and Quebec on the 
 other, 1)y which a system of through ticketing and freightage, was establisheil at 
 reduced rates. This arrangement has been productive of beneficial results, and by it 
 the traffic may, and no doubt will, be fostered and encouraged. 
 
 The steamers referred to, as connecting with the Terminus in the Gulf of St. 
 Lawrence, have, to the extent of their capacity and accommodation, when on the route, 
 performed tiie service fiithfuUy and well, and while wo are disposed to award them 
 every credit for the manner in which they have been conducted, and the regularity 
 with which the connections have been made, particularly in the case of the "West- 
 morland," there is little use in screening the fact, that the time has arrived when 
 steamers of much superior character arc required for the purposes of this trade, and 
 I am pleased to observe, that the Government of Prince Edward Island have taken 
 the initiative in this most important matter, and are about to secure steamers for the 
 route to Charlottetown and Pictou, which they propose shall be of a superior build, 
 
RAILvVAY COMMISSIOJ^ERS' REPORT.

 and equal in internal arrangeinonta and accommodations to the first class Steamships, 
 which have, during the past season, boon running between this City and Boston. 
 
 It is their intention, I have understood, to keep up the connection with Shcdiac and 
 Charlottetown three times, instead of twice per week, as hitherto. 
 
 The route between Shediac and Miramiclii ought to be as well cared for. A steamer 
 suitable in size, economical in the consuraptiou of fuel, witli light draught of water, 
 apablo of au average speed of twelve to fifteen miles per hour and having first class 
 internal arrangements, to run each way three times per week, is tliat which the import- 
 ance of this connection requires, and, it is Iiopcd, will ere long in some manner, bo 
 provided. Were there such a vessel, and were the steamers, which now leave Quebec, 
 during the summer months, alternately every week, to come no further than Miramichi, 
 an arrangement could be made which would likely give satisfaction, promote travelling, 
 and prove conducive to the general good. 
 
 Towards tiie close of the season an arrangement was made with the Agents of the 
 Steamer " New York" similar to that entered into with the " International Company," 
 but some time being necessarily occupied in completing the details, very little business 
 was transacted under it. 
 
 Arrangements were also entered into with the owner of the Steamer " Westmor- 
 land," the proprietor of the line of Coaches between Pictou and Truro, and the 
 " Nova Scotia Railway" (and up to the close of the season were awaiting the assent of 
 the owners of the " Emperor," which will likely be given in time to give them effect, 
 early the ensuing season) to establish a system of " Round Trip" Tickets at reduced 
 rates, by which a party, for example, might for a certain fixed sum, be privileged to go 
 by rail to Shediac, steamer to Charlottetown and Piotuu, Coach to Truro, Hail to 
 Halifax and Windsor, and thence by steamer again to St. John, stopping over at any 
 point or points for any time within the limits of the Ticket. Tickets to be sold at any 
 pkce within the circle, and obtained for either direction. 
 
 The arrangement can bo extended westward, and if proper fiicilities are afforded, 
 another circle may be formed in the same way to include Richibucto, Miramichi, Bay 
 Chaleur, Quebec, Montreal, Portland and St. John. The object, as may be observed, 
 is to promote pleasure travelling, and it is expected the plan will be carried into effect 
 the ensuing Summer^ with advantage to all concerned-

 The completion of a Water Terminus at St. John ia of the highest importance. It 
 would afford additional facilities in forwarding the general business, stimulate the 
 development of new branches of industry along the line of Railway, and be productive 
 of a largely increased Revenue.
