Appendix 2

Map of the proposed railway route, and gradient profile. Full size version.

This map and profile date from when the proposed route was being refined, in about 1909. They therefore need to be read with caution, for substantial stretches are known to have changed by the time that construction began. Similarly, the names and locations of the stations sctually constructed are different in some respects from those shown here, and the names in particular were altered after the opening of the line.

Reference:
This map and profile, whilst dating from around 1909 when the route was being finalised, was photographed in 1945 by Señor Gilverto Provoste, a professional photographer working in Ancud. The collection of his negatives is held by the Museo de Sitio Castillo de Niebla (Dirección de Bibliotecas, Archivos y Museos / Ministerio de Educación / República de Chile), to whom we are indepted for permission to reproduce this item.
