AN OVERLAND ROUTE
PLANNED ON A BIG
SOLLE
FORGING THE LINKS.
It is hardly realised, says The Englishman, what a surprising am- ount of work has recently been quiet-. ly and unostentatiously done by British engineers in the way of lorg Ing the links which will presently connect the Indian with the Europ can railway systems. Work is being pushed on In several sections at once, and all the indications are that in a few years, provided political. complications do not occur, it will be possible to buy a railway ticket in Calcutta for London.
Before the war the position was that the nearest point of the Tadian railway system to any system con- nected with the European railways was at New Chaman in Baluchistan. This point was only 300 miles from the Kursk extension of the Russian Cen- tral Asian Railways. Unfortunately that 300 miles. lay through Afgban- istan, and there was no hope in those days that the "Afghans would ever permit the connection to be made..
Schemes to connect India with the Russian lines through Persia and with the German controlled Bagdad Railway were being examined when the war broke out. Whether, in view of international jealousies, these schemes would have come to any. thing remains to be seen. At any rate when the war started the Germans were very busy on their Bagdad project of which they had already built several large sections. On the outbreak of hostilities they redoubled their activities, for it was" their intention to make use of this line in order to invade India. Our campaign. in Mesopotamia took them by surprise, but the disasters of 1916 gave both the Turks and Germans further heart, and it was hot till we had captured Bagdad and pushed on to-Mosul that the Germans abandon- ed their work on the line. But the greater part of it had by then been completed, There was only one break of 120 miles.
But no sooner had the British got to Bagdad than arrangements were made to connect Basra by rail with Bagdad. Originally the intention was to work the Tigris, and a metre gange line was laid between Basra and Amarah and Kut and Bagdad.
