Show ALL LUES EXPECT TO BE Mil Salt Lake Road Is Hardest Hit by Blockade at Faust, Utah. OVERLANDS MOVING Union Pacific Getting Back to Schedules, Both East and West. Re-establishment of traffic over the T'tah railroad lines by the removal of fnowslides and drifted snow from the tracks continued yesterday to tax the executive ability and power resources of the affected systems. Branch lines of the Denver k Eio Grande to Park City, Heber and the Tintic dictrict continued obstructed throughout the day in spite of concentration of all possible forces for opening them. The main line . of the road, however, was kept open. In yesterday 'a tieup, which was a continuation of the trouble encountered the preceding day, the Salt Lake Eoute was the most unfortunate of nil. The main trouble resulted from the fact that a southbound passenger train was stalled in the snow at Faust, and it is impossiblo for this train to proceed south or for other trains to pass it coming com-ing this way. By reason of the blockade block-ade at Faust two eastbound passenger trains have been held at Lynndyl, having hav-ing stopped there because "of the fact That the passengers could get plenty to eat, and it was useless to proceed toward Salt Lake until the blockade at Faust was removed. Two Blockades. j The line from Salt Lake to Lynndyl by way of Provo and Payson also is blocked in two places. One is in Jordan i Narrows and the other is several miles ! vest of Payson. Were this line open the Salt Lake Route could bring its-trains its-trains through from Lynndyl, but the snow will probably not be removed before be-fore tonight, and the Lynndvl trains are awaiting the raising of the blockade block-ade this morning at Faust. At a late hour last night it was announced an-nounced that the Los Angeles Limited, -which has been held here since Tuesday, will leave for Los Angeles at 5 o'clock this morning, and that the two trains ar Lynndyl coming this way will also move' out at about the same hour. The passengers who have been marooned ma-rooned at Kaust are said to have confiscated con-fiscated all the food in the express tar. such was their extremity, but the passengers at Lynndyl are being well cared for at the expense of the railroad officials.
