EngIand's submurTed Railway


The latest scheme for bridging
the English channel is a prop
osition for submerged rail
way. The plan differs material
ly from anything yet proposed.
and is interesting for its novelty
at least.
First a submerged track is to
be LAID. Upon this would be OF :
Grated a platform of sufficient
heighth. length and strength to
transport an entire train above
the. waters of the channel, even
in a choppy sea. This platform
would consist Of an upper and
lower part. the former forty
eight feet wide and the latter
ninety eight feet. The extreme
length of both parts is 492 feet,
and the motive power would be
electricity. generated by steam
engines and dynamos on the up
per platform.
Itwould be sort of submarine
railway transport arrangement,
and it is thought to be entirely
safe in its operation. This new
project has received the careful
investigation of the Cam
pagnie de Fives Lille, and has
been pronounced entirely feas-
ible. One particular advantage
claimed is that it avoids the or
dinary bridge plan.
