HISTORIES OF RAILWAY PROJECTS
During the year 1892-93 orders were issued for the examination
of a route from Chittagong, along the Arakan Coast and over the
Aeng Pass into Burma.
5
The Government of Burma has since proposed a still more
southerly route than that to Minhla by the Aeng Pass. For this last
alternative the Local Government during 1903-05 carried out from
Provincial funds a detailed survey for a line from Prome to
Taungup, and a reconnaissance from Zadabin (whence the line to
Taungup branches off) to Zibingyi, from which point Akyab can
be reached by a launch journey of 31 miles. The results are as
folIows ;-
Section. Length, Miles. Estimated cost. Rs.
Prome to Zadabin 109 3,48,89,800
Branch Zadabin to Taungup 4 2,72,500
Zadabin to Zibingyi 170 1,87,00,000
