curious condition Of affairs on the

the anxiety to get everything cheap
the road was laid with IL pound rail
instead of "a pound rail. The bridges
were built Of wood, and crossings were
made far apart. Consequently more
than 20 miles an hour cannot be made
on the level with safety. Only one
passenger and two freight trains a
day are run. To add to the danger
there has been put on the line one of
the heaviest engines in existence-the
compound system. The light rails, the
steep inclines and the high gradings
combined make travelling risky. On
steep inclines, owing to the light rails.
the heavy engines cannot be held, and
running at speed Of 20 miles an hour
turns the rails out. Therefore 1t has
been concluded that the road must be
reconstructed on broader lines.
