Show IN RAILWAY CIRCLES How the Vestern Handled theE the-E J avorer Business AN INTERESTING STORY TWO BIG EXCURSIONS TO THE LAKE YESTERDAY Tabernacle Choir and Mutual Improvement Im-provement Associations at Saltair I and Odd Fellows at Garfield The I Midland and the Denver and Rio Grande Interstate Commission latest by WireRailway Notes The last party of westbound Christian I Chris-tian Endeavor excursionists will have to leave here at noon today in order to reach San Franciwo within the time Ito I-to whIch the cheap rate tickets are limited There will probably be a few I straggling parties pass through hero today to-day but practicaly all of the heavy travel closed Wednesday night and yeterday morning so far as this point i is concerned The regular noon train over the Rio Grande Western came in I yesterday in only one section for the I first time in a week but it was found 1 necessary to send the train to Ogden I in two sections as there were twenty I cars In the train owing to the overflow I f travel here The train from the east I last night was also heavily loaded The passenser travel over the Rio I Grande Western in the past week reached proportions which were never I approached in this part of the country before and the officials of that road have every reason to feel very proud oft the great of-t they accomplished They flaltn to have established the j worlds single track passenger record j and they are doubtless correct in this claim When the work of handling without s rious delay and without i accident the great number of cars that I rolled into this city is considered in I detail the magnitude of tile undertak j Ing is apparent During all the time that tile special excursion trains were I moving from Grand Junction to Salt Lake and filling up the yards here the I regular east bound service had to be maintained as usual and it required the I 1f rs establishment of a perfect system and the carrying out of instructions I promptly to say nothing of the display of the utmost care and vigilance on the part of everyone connected with the I handling of the trains During the period from July 1st to 7th the Rio Grande Western handled 71 trains carrying 17232 passengers from Grand Junction to Ogden The I greater percentage of these stopped over In Fait Lake City from 12 to 24 hours thus requiring a second movement move-ment to Osrden which I made the work hotf equivalent to the handling of a total of nearly 35000 passengers The bulk of this immense traffic was carried on July 3d 1th and 5th The number of cars handled by the road was G44 There was an average of I nine cars and 242 passengers on every II train Not the slightest accident was I reported from any point along the line of the road This successful undertaking it under-taking was not accomplished without great thought and labor on the part of the officers and employes of the road and particularly of eight or ten Indi vjduals none of whom are known by the thousands of people whose comfort 1 and safety were in their hands In the first place credit is due A E Welby the general superintendent of the Western West-ern who mapped out and planned the system and watched every detail of the work while it was In progress Mr Velby remained at Grand Junction during nearly all the rush and gave his directions from that point Other officials put into execution the plans I that he formed Equal credit is due C YV King the train master whose headquarters head-quarters are in this city Mr King vas in his office nearly 20 hours a day for three or four daysand devoted the most untiring efforts to the task before him He was greatly assisted by Train Supervisor F Sclgroth who was also on duty for long hours attending to the handling of the row after row of cars which formed a moving city in the yards for several days Superintendent cf Motive Power HIckey was another who gave his whole time to the work He spent several days in traveling back and forth over the road watching the work of his own department and prepared pre-pared < for any emergency that might arise Then there were four other individuals indi-viduals in particular upon whose training train-ing coolness and vigilance depended i the safety of 17000 people who passed j over the road between Grand Junction and Ogden They were Messrs Hum I mel and Hamilton the train mspatcnera at Salt Lake and Messrs Walker and Bowes tTX train dispatchers at Helper The two larter handled the trains between be-tween Grand Junction and Helper and Mr Hummel and Mr Hamilton attended j at-tended to the same work between i i Helper and Ogden In addition to the offii lals mentioned above the conduc tory i rain men and yard men everywhere every-where v cre or duty all the time and re I i ceiid the commendation of their i i superiors for the effective service which j I Jhe i the rendered I Mr WadleiRh the general passenger I agent is particularly pleased with the I work accomplished on his road and he speaks
