INTRODUCTION.
In presenting my Railway Directory for 1864 to the Railway Officers, I again return my thanks for their prompt attention in furnishing the information necessary to com- plete the work. Application has been made to every Rail- way Company in the loyal States and the British Prov- inces, and but few have failed to report, in which case the compilation has been made from the best sources available.
This book is published especially for the use of Railway Officers, and furnished free : my aim has been to make it useful and reliable, and therefore, accurate ; and should any errors or omissions have occurred, it has not been from want of care, but rather from want of the proper informa- tion.
1 would call the attention of Railway Officers to the Advertisements in this Book. They are all of old and well established firms, leading houses in their respective lines, and I can confidently recommend them as reliable and wor- thy of patronage.
