ABSTRACT

Indo-China has only 2,908 km."" (1,817 miles) of railways, representing 0'4 km. of track for 100 sq. km. of surface (cf. Malaya 1'4 km., British India 1·8 km.) or 1'3 km. to 10,000 inhabitants (cf. Malaya 7.6 km., British India 2'0 km.). There is no complex line network, a notable feature being the scarcity of branch and inter-connecting lines.
