Stumper on Passage from Seas at Railroad Convention
Delegates at the triennial Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen convention debated whether a passage from the Nea ler sea to the Dead Sea exists. An engineer could not confirm the route due to a too small map while others noted the Dead Sea’s salinity and uncertain outlet or inlet. The discussion highlighted uncertainty and reliance on a single contact, likely Jimmy Wade, for further information.
