A Railway Bargain

A Railway Bargain.

“The Evening News,” England, reports that the Bavarian State Railway has offered a railway line, 15 miles long, complete with stations and rolling stock, and in full running order, to whomsoever is willing to take it over.

Not merely is it a free gift, but the State will also pay £500 yearly to the person who accepts it.

It is the last Bavarian State Railway and runs through a most picturesque district near the Austrian frontier, from Ruhpolding to Reit.

Hitherto it has been run by the Forestry Administration, who could not make it pay, but the State does not wish it to be closed down, as it is largely used by summer holiday makers and winter sports devotees.
