series Of rapids on the Angrara river.
After many disasters, the river trans
port companies decided in the early
'70s to build short railroad for trans
shipment of freight around the rapids.
The 12-mile road was probably the
first railroad built In Asia outside Of
India and certainly the first one built
in northern Asia.
There was NO regular service, about
two trips each way being made
week, as cargo offered. With the i'm
provement Of the roads through this
region by the Russian government,
traffic on this part of the river was
gradually abandoned and the railroad
finally fell into disuse. The locomotive
was acquired by farmer to be used

barges and towed away, and the line
abandoned.

to be replaced with new cars, the oh,

undergo improvement. The dining

improved schedule and will be given
better equipment than is at present CD.

handling local service, and the service
between st. Paul and Minneapolis and
Brainery will be greatly improved by
an additional local train. A new and
important feature of train seven will
be the addition of dining car between
ST. Paul and Fargo.
With reference to the improvements
Mr.. Cleland said: "The addition of
another transcontinental train in each
direction is made necessary by the
rapid industrial and commercial
growth of the Pacific Northwest. the
increasing population due to the de-
velopment of agricultural areas and
reclamation work, and the increase Of

which you give on your railroads to
passengers who, having no tickets pay
cash fares. At first these checks an
gered me. I did not like them. But a
conductor, with a good natured smile
illustrted their use with story.
He said that on a little railway in
the south they did not use excess
checks. A friend of his, riding on his
railway without ticket, paid his fare
in cash-a matter of 81 or IS.
"The conductor took the money and
counted it and then very carefully he
put part of it in his coat pocket and
the rest in the hip pocket of his panta-
