     The Railway.#The Prince Edward Island Railway, a 
     
     part of the railway system of the Canadian Government, is 
     
     a well-maintained narrow-gauge road. It comprises 260 
     
     miles of well-managed road, extending from Tignish in the 
     
     west to Souris and Georgetown in the east and to Murray 
     
     Harbour in the south, with several branches. The Murray 
     
     Harbour line runs over the new bridge built across the 
     
     Hillsborough River at a cost of $1,500,000.00. The first 
     
     sod of the main line was turned on the second day of 
     
     October, 1871, and the road was opened for traffic in 1875. 
     
     Its general offices are in Charlottetown.
