Last week this difficulty was overcome as Vincent Astor inaugurated his newest railroad, a single track line from dock to home. No toy, its four-ton electrically driven passenger car seats six, hauls a big baggage van. From the Bermuda Railway was borrowed Chief Engineer Kitchen to supervise construction; into the island's collections went $2,000 in duty on materials.
