Intensive railroad development took place in Argentina between 1880 and 1916, a period of rapid economic growth and national consolidation. The railroads made possible Argentina's emergence as a major exporter of wheat, beef, and other products. The most important railroads were owned and built by British companies, which were granted concessions by the Argentine government because of their technical expertise and their ability to raise large sums on the London market to finance the construction. This 1899 map, issued by the Buenos Ayres and Pacific Railway Company, of London, shows the country's main rail lines. The inset map at the upper left shows the dense network in and around the capital city and main port of Buenos Aires. Most of the British-owned lines adopted the broad-gauge, 5 foot 6 inch (1.68 meter) standard, wider than the track used in most other parts of the world, including Europe and North America. Other lines used the narrow gauge of 3 foot 3.27 inches (1 meter wide), or, as indicated in the note on the map pertaining to the provinces of Entre Rios and Corrientes, the 4 foot 8.5 inch (1.44 meter) standard gauge.

Naval Strength of Argentina It is Absurdly Overrated The National Navy Yard Interesting Items Concern ing our Distant Sister Republic Special Correspondence of Tlie Journal Tigre Argentina July 1 1905 This queer little town where is the national navy yard of Argentina is about twenty miles from Buenos Ayres at the confluence of two riversthe Parana and Lujan Several torpedo boats and other small craft that make up the navy of the republic are always to be seen off shore It is diflicult to imagine how these boats could be of any use in case of emergency because the water is so shallowin many places barely two feet deep though fairly rough and with a very rapid current that no vessel with much draft could possibly be gotten out without a very slow and tedious trip up this branch of the Parana river to distant San Pedro and then down again by one of the main branches We are given to under stand however that the torpedo boats are maintained chiefly for the overaw ing of the neighboring republics and are expected to furnish more employ ment to painters than to gunners They are rarely ever in practice hut are
