Until this road wan extended in 1905, Quito was, by modern standards, considered to be shut out from the world. Another road, the Ambato-to-Curaray railway, 190 miles long, is under construction which will connect tho Guayaquil and Quito railway at Ambto witn the easterly provinces of the Republic. The last consignment of rails for this new road is expected about November. Two Baldwin locomotives have been received, and other roiling stock has been ordered from the Unitea States.
