of the line on that side (the Trans

miles to complete. The following de-

to the finished portion on the Agen-

The location of this line presents
some interesting features. Mendoza,
the terminus of the broad gauge Give
feet six inches) lines from Buenos
Ayres, is $50 miles from that port, and
stands 1900 feet above sea level, and
the lowest point of the pass over the
summit of the Andes is 12,700 feet.
The railway is on fairly easy ground,
with only one important bridge up to
entering the mountains. At this point
the line begins to FOL low the valley of
the River Mendoza, a mountain tor
rent, which, with it's tributaries, drains
