The spoil handled in this way by the

fifty miles of railroad in the world can

when Ii is considered that the movement
of the Panama railroad Is restricted to
nine hours daily, whereas an ordinary
road operates during the entire twenty
four. Aside from the excavated material
large quantity of commercial freight
is handled and all the supplies of the
commission are carried. The passenger
