The pipe line consists of one 12 inch earthenware piping
one mile long, delivering into a 400,000 gallon reservoir,
from whence it gravitates by two six inch cast iron pipes
to the station.
Arrangements have been made for the filling of six
passenger coaches at a time from overhead piping. There
are four hydrants from which passengers can obtain water.
The overhead tankage capacity of the station is 10,000
gallons.
Ihizddp .—Water is available both for locomotive and
drinking purposes. The supply is obtained from three
wells joined by a tunnel.
The tote! supply is 10,000 gallons per hour pumped into
a temporary overhead tank of 14,000 gallons capacity, and
also into a temporary overhead tank of 3,000 gallons, which
was originally attached to the Duzdap hospital and which
is still used by the military.
The pipe line is 6 inch cast iron and is all within the
perimeter of Duzdap.

Water for the staff is carried out by trains and delivered
into temporary ground reservoirs, varying from 1,500 to
3,000 gallons capacity according to the staff employed.

Duzdap and Mirjawa allotted for railway use only.

from Mile 396 half-way between Bug and Mirjawa to
Mile 433 (Lar Station). From Mile 433 (Lar) to Mile
436 there is a falling gradient varying between 1-100 and
1-200. From Mile 436 to Duzdap the gradient is easy.
