A railway having 20 miles of main track for the exclusive transportation of potatoes is in operation on the 7,000 acre potato farm of W. Dennis and Sons in Lincolnshire, England. The railway (which has a gauge of two feet, and rails of 14lbs. weight per yard) is operated both by horses and by a steam driven tractor—the steam being generated by kerosene. The tractor is started by means of a hand pump. Two tons of potatoes can be carried in each wagon, and 400 wagon loads can be successfully despatched in one day. The potatoes are sent to London, to Peterborough and to various ports for export.
