A Project on Foot TO Connect the Two
Americas by Rail.
CRY OF MEXICO, May 2d.-The desire of
the Pan-American Congress for great in
ternational railroad line to connect North
and South America seems to be in fair
way of realization. Reconnaissance south
from Pueblo, Mexico, to Tehuantepec then
from the Guatemalan frontier through that
republic to San Salvador. Honduras and
Nicaragua as far as Costa Rica, have been
completed by United States Engineer Ish-
am and the engineer who located the Mar
avatio and Iguar Railroad in this republic.
Isham commenced his reconnaissance at
Oaxaca and found a feasible line from the
Guatemala frontier, where concessions for
8 railroad from the Mexican Government
had already been given.
The proposed International road through
Guatemala will hug the Pacific slope, cut
ting the Guatemala and San Jose and the
Port ChamperIco roads at right angles. In
San Salvador the Acsjutla Railroad will be
crossed. Mr.. Isham recommends the
building of narrow-gauge south from
Oaxaca to correspond with the narrow
gauge system in use in Mexico In Costa
Rica the road must necessarily be taken
over the eastern slope 1t offering less diff
culties to reach the isthmus and conneos
tions with the South American system.
The company pushing the reconnaissance
is English and has secured concessions in
several States in Central America through
which the road is to pass.
