Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 89, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 April 1915 — Country of Few Tunnels. [ARTICLE]

Country of Few Tunnels.

Although there are 1,600 miles of railroad lines in Uruguay, there is but one tnnnel in the entire country. It was bored more for the purpose *of preventing excessive curves than to avoid unusual engineering difficulties. The relatively flat nature of the country makes railway building less expensive than in other South American countries.
