Ship Railroad Across Chicuecto
IsthmuS.

ST. JOHN, N, B., Mar. ls.-A ship rail.
road is nov being constructed across the
narrow Isthmus Of Chicnecto, which con
meets Nova Scotia with New Brunswick.
The isthmus is II miles wide. and while
the road will be on 4 smaller scale than the
proposed Eads ship railroad across the
isthmus of Tehauntepec, It has the advan-
tage over that enterprise that the project is
now actually under way. Tne road 10 TO
be built capable of carrying . ship Of 900
tons dead weight. Ships are to be raised
by hydraulic rams and placed on the rail-
road.
English engineers are Watching the en-
terprise with much interest, because it is
thought that if ship railroad can be made
success on this scale, it is practicable for
the transportation of larger vessels, and
may eventually be used to carry ships in
land to Birmingham, Eng. for Instance, at
a large saving of cost of unloading and
other expenses.
