The return trip down the mountain is more
enjoyable, but no moro expeditions. The sense
Of security is enhanced, for we have tested
and have learned that there are no less than
eight different methods of stopping the train
in case of accident. Steam is not employed in
going down, it being effected by compressed
air, There are many minor matters of interest
concerning the construction of this road that
we have not space for, but we may say in a
word that the stringers, wherever practical,
are fastened with iron bolts into the solid rock,
and that no trestle work has been resorted to,
the few declivities having been filed with
solid timber called wharfng. The railroad
commissioners were so well satisfied with the
workthat they granted complimentary GER
