communication by rail

In this way a good deal of the track was effectively broken up, and communication by rail from Corinth to the south entirely cut off.

The base at that time was entirely undeveloped, with no communications by rail or road and lacked access to potable water.

"It's got good communications by rail, motorway and airport and lots of good schools," Morrison says.

In this way a condition of inaction was established which was really very much to our advantage, since Methuen retained his communications by rail, while all supplies to Cronje had to come a hundred miles by road.
