We may be able TO take through

continent to the' other. In that case
we would sample all kinds of climate

encounter endless variety of surface

that several routes for such rail
road are being considered. but which
ever one may be chosen the lines al
ready built and covering over half the
distance would be utilized. The fact
that these exist makes the project
seem less like dream, but if we

tire length of Africa-but that road
