Excerpt: ...of the country--which, occasionally steep, are seldom so long or so difficult, and probably will be found much less so, when examined by the eye of an experienced engineer. With very few exceptions, the numerous rivers and water-courses intersecting the plains are only formidable in the rainy season, and during the rest of the year afford opportunity, and sure means for bridging, with facility and at moderate expense. The modern resources of engineering have taught us that the difficulties of railway gradients may be overcome in various ways, which it is not necessary at present to discuss; and daily practice in working railways in Europe and America proves, that even on lines of very great traffic, a maximum load for the moving power employed is so seldom attached to any one train, that a railway in its longitudinal section may be undulated to a much greater extent, and with far less inconvenience, from a truly horizontal, or level line, than was supposed in the outset of the creation of these means of transit. 15. In short, the practical experience and actual working of railways, both in England and America, over as steep rates of ascent, as are likely to be met with in India, show sufficiently to the engineer that the features of that country present no invincible obstacles; while the resources of labour and materials offer facilities superior to either of the other countries. Without therefore entering into the consideration of the actual means, it may bo safely and conclusively stated, that whether to pass the great rivers, or to surmount the steep ghauts of India, modern engineering offers many cheap and easy appliances. 16. This naturally leads to the second question, as to the cost of construction; and here it will be at once...
