E L I. Brown president of the Denver Rio Grande The telegram stated that all preparations had been made for immediately beginning work on I the project as permission had been obtained from William G.

SPENT Mare More than will be expended expended ex- ex ex cx- In the new project The es establishment es- es of the terminal on th the summit must be done while th the terminal at Helper Utah only a little more than five miles away is maintained To establish the terminal terminal terminal ter ter- ter- ter minal the company t to make level area for the yards must excavate te from to square yards of ot ground and must lay Iny from fifteen to twenty miles of track as the project requires more than twenty- twenty five tracks in in the yards To To- accommodate more than twenty twenty- five engines which will be located permanently permanently permanently per per- at the n new w terminal it will vill be ba necessary to build a large engine house Shops also will bo be built and machinery

completion of the huge project he says sas Is only a matter of how quickly quick quick- ly Iy men and materials may be obtained for Cor the building of the yards and th the the building of oC a large company hotel which will wl accommodate the men wh who will b be permanently located there Crews are necessary also to build r it large depot at the newly Important point It Is believed that If materials am ant and labor ma may be quickly obtained the tei terr terminal ter- ter minal will wl be completed within three or four months but if It the present conditions conditions con con- continue the terminal may mar nobe no nobe not be completed until next winter The Tho building o of the terminal at bo Sol Hol- Hol slier Summit is probably the step taken in years towards clearing the Utah coal question Under the former former for for- mer system with trains running frost from Helper and the coal oal fields Ields through th the coal fields making up the trains 01 of on the journey journe it was impossible to run a atrain train into intro Salt Halt Lake 01 or Ogden in on one oneda da day as it was usually necessary for Cor th the train crew to tie up under the sixteen sixteen six sl- teen hour law at Provo Pro or other nearby near b b by points SWITCHING CREWS The new system however eliminates mates nates the making snaking Up of or trains on th thE I journey and also the cutting out pi Carload shipments at various point I along the road Under the plan with the I of rf If the new terminal all coal from rom al althe althe the mines of Utah will be assemble assembler 1 at Soldiers Soldier's Summit Six switching clews will be at woi wm wor at the terminal at all aU times distributing I ing the empty coal cars to the mines mine which are all within a radius of tell tei miles from Soldiers Soldier's Summit Witt the cars assembled at Soldiers Soldier s Summit Summit Sum mit and distributed in this manne mannel many man hours of time formerly passes passed In switching huge trains to distributE cars will be saved The crews will then pull the loaded ran Jar to the th top of Soldiers Soldier's Summit when where all coal trains will be made up The trains will be made up solid an entire train tram for tor Salt Lake and the same for Provo and Ogden All carload car load shipments will be bp carried on loca trains which will supply the smaller points The trains after alter assembling at Soldiers Soldiers Sol diers dier's Summit will be run without I stops making it possible to have the trains reach their destination on a trip tripI taking less than sixteen hours Only I local trains will be allowed to stop and switch cars into place In hr small towns I In this way it is estimated e that from fifteen to twenty-four twenty hours may be beI saved ed on transportation of all coal I trains from the mines to Salt I Lake and other points and the doing awa away with the remotest possibility of a coal I shortage In any Utah towns town |
