The new Alpine railway, the Brenzier Rothhornbahn, is the highest railway in the world, and commands magnificent views. It is 2351 meters (7836 feet) high at the summit level, and ascends 1682 meters (5606 feet), or 67 meters (223 feet) higher than the Pilatus railway. The journey occupies one and one-half hours.
The approximate cost of all the rolling stock on all the railroads in the United States foot up $1,500,000,000—a sum much more than enough to pay the national debt.
