Kilometric distances have been retained as the line is
marked throughout by posts indicating distances in kilo
metres. See also Handbook of Macedonia, &c., Route IX,
p. 448.
The trains on this line, although it is for the most part
nearly level, travel extremely slowly. The mixed conventional
train, which in normal times connects three times a week with
Salonica, travels at 21| miles p.h. The ordinary mixed train
travels at 18J miles p.h., and .goods trains at the same speed,
except on the Merhumli incline, when the speed is 15| miles
p.h. The greatest admissible speed for mixed trains is
25 miles p.h., and for goods trains 21f miles p.h.
It is to be noted that there are three stations at Dedeagach :
a small station on the W. of the town, apparently called
the Junction Station (for Salonica), although it is actually
a terminal station ; a large station on the E. of the town,
apparently known as the Oriental Station; and the Military
Station, NW\ of the Oriental Station and connected with it
by a loop line.
The Junction-line station of Dedeagach (276 miles from
Salonica) is situated outside the town, on the W. side, near
the chaussee along the coast leading to Makri.
The station building is a small one of the ordinary type
and possesses a goods shed to unload one wagon at a time.
There is a water-tank supplied by a steam pump, also
a small engine-house, a turntable, and a small stack of coal
with a coal-loading stage.
Outside the station, to the SE.,is a block of infantry barracks
which can accommodate 300 men. Barracks are also reported
(1914) 2,500 yds. to W.
This Junction-line station is 400 yds. from the coast, and
a short siding runs to a wooden pier, 110 yds. long, which
was constructed to land railway stores, but is now disused.
Some of the trestles appear to have become displaced and
the pier would require repair. There is about 12 ft. of water
at the head of it.
