DescriptionRussia's railway advance into Central Asia; (1890) (14760978275).jpg |
English: Identifier: russiasrailwayad00dobs (find matches) * The bridge has again been temporarily put out of use by the destruction of one of the dams between the shorter bridges near the right bank (August, 1889). of iron would have cost some six or seven millions, which was more than the estimates would bear, and so finally M. Bielinsky, a Polish engineer, was engaged to build the present one of wood. It is expected to last at least ten years. The trains at present only crawl over it; and I am inclined to think that heavy war material would soon put it out of order. But it does not matter, said many Russians, what now becomes of the bridge; the railway is ready on the other side, and having got over all our material, we can dispense with the bridge if necessary. Another difficulty which the Russians have to cope with here is the uncertain navigability of the upper course of the river. The current of the water, which is of a deep chocolate colour, and seems to be loaded with sand, is said to be one of the fastest in the world. I think it was Lieutenant Burns who calculated its flow at the rateof 6,000 yards an hour, but the Russians assert that it runs as fast as twelve feet per second. |
