SOUTH AMERICAN RAILWAYS
SEVEN USING BRITISH BRAKES. *
Up-to-date apparatus for brakes and signalling have been dispatched from the Westinghouse works at Chippenham. England, to several of the South American Republics. The installations include the Southern Railway of Buenos Aires; the Central Railway, Uruguay; the Northern Railway, Argentina; the Midland Railway, Uruguay; the Central Railway. Argentina; the Sao Paulo Railway. Brazil; and the Transandina Railway, Mendoza, one of the highest railways in the world. The equipment is very light in weight, which appeals to engineers because it is all the easier to carry. When the Southern Railway of Buenos Aires, for example, recently adopted Diesel coaches, it was estimated that the weight of six passenger coaches was saved on a total of 107 of this type.
