KYHBER PASS
CROSSED BY
STEEL
,sriSht, 1eas. b. sssr comDany.

CNGINEERS are now busy
constructing q rai1ro d
through the Khyber Pass,
the great highway that pierces two
mighty ranges OF mountains which
separate Afghanistan from India.
Strictly speaking they are not
carrying the rails through the
whole Of the pass, which is some
thirty-three miles in length, but
only as far as Lundi Kotal, where
British Influence ceases.
No highway the world over has
been the scene of such daring,
chivalry, tragedy, and treachery,
and is so important strategically
as the Khyber. Yet for upward OF
1000 years 1t has remained un-
changed.
Although Afghanistan has been
closed to the foreigner, caravans
laden with all kinds of merchandise
have and still are continually pass
ing through the Khyber Pass.
Those coming from India travel
under a British guard as far as
Lundi Kotal, where the caravan
is taken over by an Afghan escort.
The railroad starts from
Peshawar, a frontier town some
ten and a half miles from the en-
trance to the pass. From this,
point an ingenious galloway has
been built to assist in the laying
out of the track. The track is
q broad-gauge one and is being
built by Afridi laborers. They are
finding the work trying, as there
is constant shipping by unfriendly
tribesmen. The railroad follows
the line of the galloway, but some
eight to ten tunnels will be neces-
sary, and these are now well in
hand. When the railroad Is fin
ished, merchandise will be carried
right into the heart of the Khyber
and dumped down on the very
border line of Administrations
lar Mechanics.
