The Bahia Railway, Brazil: Paripe Valley - from a photograph by B. Mulock, 1860. Creator: Unknown
The Bahia Railway, Brazil: Paripe Valley - from a photograph by B. Mulock, 1860. View of...the heavy works to carry the railway across the valley of Paripe. The Bahia Railway, which is ultimately destined to add so much to the wealth and prosperity of Brazil, commences at the city of Bahia...and will ultimately terminate at the Great River, San Francisco, in the interior of Brazil, the navigation of which is uninterrupted for 2000 miles...The works on the remaining sections of the line are being pushed forward very rapidly, and about twenty-five miles of additional line will be opened in eleven or twelve months...[The works] are at present so far advanced that the period of then completion can be accurately determined. The engineer-in-chief of the company is Charles Vignolles [sic], Esq. F.R.S. Westminster, under whose able orders the works have been so successfully carried out that the first section of the railway has been completed within the time originally fixed, and the whole line will probably be opened some months before the period prescribed - viz. the end of 1863. The contractor for the works is Mr. Watson, of Parliament-street, Westminster'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860
