It is charged that the New Haven Interests are backing the proposition, although this has not been substantiated. The Buffalo, Rochester and Eastern Railroad would have its terminals In Buffalo and Troy. At Troy the road would connect with the Boston and Hoosac Tunnel Railroad, which is controlled by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad. This connection would give the New England lines, which are all practically under the control of the New Haven, an independent outlet to the AVeet. It si expected that the proposed R.
