The Auburn Branch


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.
