ACROSS AFRICA BY RAIL Developing the Mineral Resources of the Congo ACROSS AUSTRALIA BY TRAIN Pioneers of an Unparalleled Wilderness ACROSS THE ANDES In the face of unparalleled difficulties, aggravated by the climate, engineers in South America have succeeded in building railways across the world's second highest mountain range. These include the Peruvian Central Railway, in Peru, and the Transandine Railway, between the Argentine and Chile. AERIAL MOUNTAIN RAILWAYS By F. A. Talbot The Method of Alpine Viewing which is Safe, Luxurious, Rapid and Popular AERIAL RAILWAYS A Novel Form of Transport for Conveying Goods and Passengers in Mountainous Districts AMERICAN "COMET" A Diesel-Electric Express of Remarkable Design AMERICA'S FIRST TRAINS Their Origins and Early Developments ACROSS THE GREAT SALT LAKE For twelve miles across the storm-swept Great Salt Lake in Utah the world's longest trestle bridge was built by railway engineers to shorten by forty-three miles the route of the Central Pacific Railway. ALPINE TUNNELS Piercing the immense barriers of the Alps are four long tunnels—the Mont Cenis, St. Gotthard, Simplon and Lötschberg—which were, at the time of their building, unprecedented triumphs of engineering skill.
