Railroad project links Andes to Amazon via Panama route
Alfred W. McCune handles a massive railroad project costing about 10 million dollars. The line will run from the Andes top to the Amazon river and its tributary the Ucagli, 270 miles, aiming to finish by Panama Canal opening. It will connect with Henry Meigs’s 40 year old Callao Pacific line and complete a first equatorial America rail and water corridor joining Peru’s two sections. The system will slash transit from months to four days, routing rubber from Potomayo to Iquitos via rail to Callao and then steamers through the canal.
