Text Appearing Before Image:
mpleted and under construction, is wellindicated, and the map will serve to show the carefulwork which is done by the Japanese engineers, and is aS;)ecimen also of the map-work done in that country—notof the finished maps, but tlie sketch and outline work. Under the conditions obtaining in Japan, a line that issurveyed or under construction is pretty sure to be built,so that it may be safely said that in a year or so thatcountry will have close upon 2,000 miles of railroad.The total now in operation, as given above, is 1,042 miles ;under construction and surveyed, 923 miles ; an aggregateof 1,965 miles. In addition to these lines there are ten others projected,for which concessions have not yet been granted by ther.ovcrnment ; the total length of these is about 600 miles. With these, and others which will follow, Japan maylook forward to a railroad system of some 3.000 miles in afew years ; and this length of railroad, judiciously placed. Vol. LXIII, No. 9.) ENGINEERING JOURNAL. 417
Text Appearing After Image:
4i8 THE RAILROAD AND (September, 1889. ought to give a fairly complete system of internal com-munication to a country of its geographical configuration.It must be remembered that Japan differs from mostother Asiatic countries in this respect, that its railroadsare built with home capital and not with European money,and that they are surveyed and located by ;apanese en-gineers, of whom the country already possesses a number JAPANESE RAILROADS, JULY. 1889.
