Siam’s New Railway

SIAM’S new railway, the Siamese Southern, now has 389 miles of railway open to traffic, of which 120 were opened during the past year. The total length of the line, including branches, will be 740 miles, leaving 351 miles still to be built. When completed, the line will shorten the time required for mail to reach Siam from Europe by three or four days, and the journey from the port of Penang to Bangkok, the capital of Siam, which now consumes six to eight days on the water, will take two and a half days.
