Beyond the station the valley is flat and marshy
with deep black soil, the stream itself being deep and
sluggish with reeds along the banks. Numerous
small streams running into the Ergene are now crossed,
principally by lattice girder bridges. Just beyond
the junction station there is a bridge of three 30-ft.
lattice girders underneath the rails on stone piers,
12 ft. high, over a stream nearly dry in summer.
The Baba Eski stream is crossed in a broad meadow
by two bridges, the stream flowing in a double channel:
1. Five45-ft. lattice girders underneath the rails on
stone piers and abutments, 12 ft. above stream-level.
2. Five 50-ft. lattice girders underneath the rails
on stone piers, 15 ft. above stream-level.
Bridge for flood purposes crossed.
The line next crosses ttie Doghanja (Doghinj) Dere
by two 30-ft. lattice girders on a stone pier, 20 ft.
above stream-level. The valley of this stream is very
marshy and the current slow in summer.
The Slid Dere is crossed by three 45-ft. lattice
girders on stone piers 30 ft. above stream-level. The
Havsa Dere, a wide marshy valley similar to the
others, is crossed by two bridges, one of five 20-ft.
lattice girders underneath the rails, and a second a
little farther on of three spans of 60-ft. plate girders,
above rail level, with stone piers and abutments.
The Ergene is here a deep sluggish stream with clay
banks. Some low scrubs and bushes line the river
valley. The line skirts the border undulations.
Pavlo or Paulo Koi Station (alt. 82 ft.) has two
sidings of 350 yds. each, a small goods shed, and
a small depot of rails and sleepers. The vi age
(Turkish) is close to the station and possesses a few
good houses.
