1843. A curiosity in railway engineering is now in
process in a meadow in the parish of New Alresford where Robt. Rodney Esq of
the Scotch Fusileer Guards is constructing, without regard to expense a railway
in the form of a circle, measuring 400 yards.
This novel undertaking has now been in course of execution about four
months and in its contracted course presents various specimens of engineering,
such as a tunnel seventy yards in length, &c.
The opulent proprietor, it is gratifying to state, has been liberal in
the remuneration of his numerous workmen during the winter. It is expected that the works will be
completed and the line opened shortly after Easter. A locomotive engine and two beautifully
finished carriages are being built to travel the line.
