THE Company ovv'ns and works a system of rai ways 3,947 miles in 

 length, which serves the greater part of the province of Buenos 

 Ayres, and possesses terminal stations in the City of Buenos Ayres, La 

 Plata, Mar del Plata, Zapala, Bahia Blanca, and Carmen de Patagones. 



The Company also possesses interchange stations for the transport 

 of traffic with the Western Railway at Marmol, Barracas al Bud, Merlo

The Company has direct access to all ports of the Province of 

 Buenos Ayres, having entered into an agreement with the Southern 

 Dock Co., in which it possesses a large proprietary interest, and is con- 

 nected by means of its own lines with the Government Docks in 

 Buenos Ayres. In La Plata the Southern Railway has direct access to 

 the large docks which were ceded to the National Government by the 

 Provincial Government, and the Port lines there are worked by the 

 Company for account of the Government. 



At Bahia Blanca the Company has constructed large steel moles, 

 and also a mole for loading cereals, which are provided with elevators, 

 electric cranes and other modern machinery for the rapid and economical 

 loading and discharging of merchandise, and providing accommodation 

 for some 20 ocean-going ships. At this port and at the Southern Dock, 

 Buenos Ayres, tanks have been erected for the storage of fuel oil, 

 which is largely used in locomotives throughout the system. 



Besides the commercial ports above referred to, the Railway Company 

 serves two or three popular hohday resorts which are yearly becoming 

 more frequented, such as Mar del Plata, Miramar and Necochea on 

 the coast, and Sierra de la Ventana and Tandil situated in the hilly 

 districts of the Province.
