Engineers Plan New Tunne
Through Andes Mountains

Chilean and Argentine engineers
are planning a new tunnel through
the Andes for the Trans-Andean
railroad which was recently re-
opened after being reconstructed.
The present Emile tunnel at level
Of 10000 feet would be replaced at a
much lower level by one 10 miles
long. Boring would eliminate steep
grades and the danger of rock slides
and avalanches at higher levels.
The old tunnel would be converted
to automobile and truck traffic.

In 1884 and successive avalanches
broke the railroad between Punta de
Vacas and Mendoza, and until the
recent reopening freight bound from
Chile to its neighboring republic was
forced to bridge the gap by automo-
bile and truck.
