RAILWAYS.

No less than nine lines of steam railway enter the city, and several others are under construction. Over 100 trains come and go daily. The city is on the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and every train from the Atlantic to the Pacific which takes the shortest route, must pass over the Alexandra bridge. The Grand Trunk Railway passes through Ottawa on its way from the Atlantic to the Great Lakes. The city is a terminus of the Ottawa and New York Railway. The Canadian Northern Railway line from Toronto will shortly be completed.
