B. E. Wells, engineer and
superintendent of the Mobile & Girard Railroad Company, ascribes to the
fact that the road is worked only six days in the week, the further
fact, that (though the iron-railing came into the hands of the company
substantially worn out iron, and the road bed is probably the worst in
the Confederacy to keep up) the trains have run through the year without
losing a mail, and without accident to the life or limb of a single
passenger out of the 30,000 carried by them. |
