From the Chenango Union of Norwich, NY Wednesday, June 22, 1870
Work upon the depot in this village progresses, the brick walls being
completed and the timber for the roof in its place. The building is 50 by 100 feet, two
stories in height, and will be an imposing structure when completed. The work upon the
DeRuyter Branch, in this village, is being pushed vigorously. Cutting was commenced on
Wednesday last, on the east side of the hill between North Main and Miller Streets, in
front of where the residence of J.G. Thompson stood, so that two gangs of hands are now
employed in excavating - one on the east end and one on the west end of the cut. There
will be no cut across North Main Street, the road at that point being grade. The trestle
work is going up.
The town of Cuyler, Cortland County, which was never fully bonded for
railroad purposes, has now about completed her bonding at $80,000. We are assured that
as soon as Cuyler is bonded the contract will be let to extend the Midland, the present
fall, from DeRuyter to Truxton.
