board of management shall have the entire control of the railway

for the purpose of the working thereof and shall establish a sufficient

service of through trains from end to end and of through fares no

in any particular instance or instances subject as to any agreement

for revision thereof to the consent of the Corporation under the loan

agreement such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Each

Government may require its postal service to be carried on the

and be fixed by the Board and may also require troops and munitions

of war to be carried at half rates and special trains to be provided

for such service.
