. The railroad and engineering journal . the base of the system, whereasthat is little more than an incident, and the dimensions of therailroad must be governed by the speed of the trains and thesize and weight of the loads which the traffic requires. Thisrecalls a discussion which occurred between a narrow-gaugeenthusiast and a skeptic years ago, in which the believer as-serted that nature in forming the deep caiions in the West hadmade them of a width which was just wide enough to admit anarrow-gauge car, but would not admit one of greater width.The disbeliever expressed incredulity, and retorted that if youwanted to build a railroad to run into a rat-hole, that obviouslya narrow gauge was essential. Now, metaphorically speaking, the C. W. Hunt Company have devised a system of railroadsto run into rat-holes, or, in other words, for service in andabout manufacturing establishment of various kinds—mines, plantations, navy-yards, military reservations, etc. A plan oftheir own works at West New Brighton, Staten Island, N.
