many obstacles in the way of the city
securing these rights, and
Whereas, City Engineer Marsden

Postal Railway for Berlin

The German postof1ce department
has put forward a scheme to connect
the general postofflce in that city
with the various branch offices by the
construction of an underground rail-
way. by means of which the more
rapid distribution of the mail bags to
and from the mail trains will be ef-
fected at speed of about % miles an
hour. The railway will be worked
without a guard or driver, and the
tunnel, which will be placed close be-
meath the road surface, is to be only
29 inches in height by II inches in
width. Each truck or car is intended
for the conveyance of large sized
mail bag. The complete train will be
composed of dwarf electric locomo-
tive and not more than four trucks
The locomotive will have a pair of
axles, each furnished with a motor
The line will be double track through
out. constructed on 1913 inch guage.
Over each track will be conductor rails
A trench will be provided between the
two lines of rails, so that a man will
be able to pass through the tunnel
The railway is to be operated by cleo
tricity. The construction of these tun-
nels for distribution of mails. the dis
patch says. is regarded as a matter of
certainty, as the negotiations between
the postal authorities and the city OF
Berlin have already been concluded.
