. Auckland, December 22. The Railway Department hopes to have completed the construction of-'tlie loop, lino past tho big slip at Kaea'ka cutting, between Pukekohe and JJrury, in time to permit the through, passage, of Sunday night's Main Trunk expresses from Auckland-to Wellington. A large gang of , men is employed laying the new length of line, ami mcauwhile •all passengers are compelled to transfer from train-to train, on arrival at either end of the slip, entailing half a mile walk. _ Delay at the slip is causing all trains to'arrive here two or three hours late. Outward trains are all leaving on schedule time except the two night expresses to Wellington. Thfese have been replaced till the breach-is repaired, by a special train leaving here at 2 -a.m. and due in. Wellington at 10 p.m. the same day. Passengers are putting up with 1 the discomfort of making the walk past the ' slip goodnatnredly, and the Railway Department is doing all possible for the travellers' convenience'. , , ■, ■■ ■
