| Southwestern Railroad Company |
| At the Annual meeting of the
Board of Directors of this Company, yesterday, the following officers
were re-elected: |
| President -- R. R. Cuyler |
| Board of Directors -- J. W. Anderson, W. A.
Black, W. S. Holt, T. M. Furlow, R. A. Smith |
| We paid a visit to the Machine
Shop of this Road, and were gratified to see the work prosecuted so
well under the ??? care of T. B. Elfe, Master Machinist. |
| In the Round House ???
twenty-one Engines, Freight ??? of superior make and elegance ?????
bright as a ??? pin, except????? The Engine ??? fallen ??? of water,
?????em a ??? from a branch ???ant. |
| Every apartment ????? are
supplied with water for numerous purposes. The machinery used is of
the most improved ??nd. All the augers used in repairing the track are
made in the blacksmith shop of this Road -- something, we believe,
that is not done by other Roads. All necessary brass castings are cast
at the Brass foundry of this Company. Everything works as if by
clock-work -- systematically, surely and promptly, in the machine
works -- a compliment to the skill and energy of Mr. Elfe. |
| This company has for a long
time built its own cars, complete. We saw some beautiful specimens of
passenger cars made by them for their own use. |
| This Company contemplates
enlarging their buildings at an early day, so as to permit them to put
up a larger steam engine. We trust also that they will erect a Foundry
for the casting of Car Wheels, etc. |
| The energetic Superintendent
and Engineer, Virgil Powers, J. T. Boifeuillet, the faithful and
courteous Secretary and Treasurer, and other officers are still at
their posts. |
| The Road is in as flourishing
a condition as can be expected during these "hard times" --
May its prosperity never be diminished. |
