The Railway to Eden Prom The Rochester Post Express
Jingland appears to have checkmated Germany in the great diplomatic game over the Baghdad railway with the line ending sixty miles from Basrah. Britain wins another victory by a treaty with France stopping gun running across the Persian Gulf. The project, funded by German capital, aimed to open a route to India and threaten Russia, but Turkish setbacks and Balkan turmoil sink the vision. The line through Ottoman lands drags on, yet could become commercially valuable if tied to Euphrates irrigation.
