West, recently named General Manager of the Denver St Rio Grande Western Railroad, assumed as-sumed his duties November 15. A cheery "It's good to be back In the mountains," was his first official statement. Mr. West, who returned to Denver rrom'MlafhT, Florida, where' for 'the past year he.-has been vice president and general manager of the Florida Power & Light company and the Miami Beach Railway company, is not a stranger to Colorado and Utah. He came to Denver in 1915 as chief engineer of the Denver Tramway company, soon becoming general until 1925, when he went to Salt Lake City as vice president and general manager of the Utah Light and Traction company. In charge of the Utah company for 12 years, Mr. West won wide recognition in I the transportation world. Ha con- ccived, developed, and put into suc cessful operation the first "trolley coaches" and passenger buses propelled pro-pelled by rear engines. These innovations in-novations were rapidly adopted thruout the country and are credited cred-ited with having revolutionized mass transportation. The Rio Grande's general manager man-ager wasj(terally born into the rail road business, first seeing light of day at Wyarton, Ontario, where his father was construction engineer for the Toronto & Owen Sound railroad, rail-road, now part of the Grand Trunk system. Previously, the elder West during the early '70s had served with construction forces then building build-ing the first transcontinental line thru the mountains. Brought to the United States when a babe in arms, young West early felt the urge to travel, joining the United States Navy when a youth of 16. He left the service as an Ensign, turning to the study of mechanical and electrical elec-trical engineering at Tufts College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. During the World War he was Pacific Coast engineer for the Emergency Fleet Corporation. "The Rio Grande serves a remarkable re-markable mountain empire, development devel-opment of which has Just begun," enthused Mr. West, giving love for the Rockies as the Influence guiding guid-ing his decision to accept its general gen-eral managership. "Physical im provement of its lines and general progress during the past decade have gained national favor for the Rio Grande; always famed as a scenic line, the direct route thru the Rock ies has assumed a place importance among transcontinental railroads." Mr. and Mrs. West, who will make their home in Denver, have three sons. Barton is associated with Lord & Thomas Advertising Agency at Los Angeles. Franklin is a cadet at West Point, and Edward is a student stu-dent at Los Angeles. o Range Conditions Improve In State Surveys Indicate The present range condition In Utah is better than last year and considerably over the ten-year, 1927 36, average, Frank Andrews, senior state agricultural statistician said in his range outlook report released this week.
