SO far as relates to the Tehuantepec
line. but little over two years.
Planned before the construction of the
earliest transcontinental railways in the
United States. the Tehuantepec road was
not completed from ocean TO ocean until
1894. and even then was found so un-
satisfactory. owing to defective conditions,
that partial reconstruction became nee
essary, this reconstruction having been
accomplished through a partnership be-
tween the Mexican government and a
company of British capitalists.
The railroad. 190 miles In length, was
reconstructed and steel docks and piers
provided at the eastern and western
termini by which transfer from the hold
of the vessel direct to the car standing
on the dock is accomplished by steam and
electric power.
Practically all of the sugar from the
Hawaiian Islands destined for the east

sent by this Tehnantepec route instead
of going around the Horn. as formerly.
