Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway............. £1573     £1830 Glasgow, Kilmarnock, and Ayr Railway........ 822       1108 Dundee and Arbroath Railway..................... 245         257 Arbroath and Forfar Railway........................ 124         200 Glasgow and Greenock Railway................... 645         662   The increasing success of Scottish railways thus demonstrated, should act as an encouragement towards the formation of new lines.
