The Auburn Branch


From the Chenango Semi-Weekly Telegraph
of Norwich, NY - Wednesday, May 23, 1877


   Conductor Dave Shattuck of the Auburn Branch viewed his native heath with complacency on Tuesday forenoon, because the powers that be, brought the train to Norwich several hours in advance of time to forward cheese on the morning mail. "One man's meat is another's poison." The poison portion refers to the trainmen who handled that three carloads of cheese and butter.

   Every tub weighs sixty pounds and with three or four stalwart farmers passing it up to the storing of it became - well monotonous to say the least. This opinion is expressed after due experiment.
