Railway meeting - The all absorbing topic of the day in this place is as to the site of the Penrith terminus. The spot marked on the plan is in a low swamp subject to inundations, and in wet seasons will be unapproachable, either for vehicles or foot passengers and will ultimately have to abandoned. The general opinion is, that the most suitable poistion for the station would be in what is known as Lemon Grove Paddock. The next best site would be between the junction of the Northern and Western roads.
