THE REBEL of the Rockies or the Mountain Railroad, two nicknames for the D&RG, had to lay a meandering main line in an East-Wedirection to connect Utah and Colorado. As mentioned in the last artist cle, the objective of completing this 618 mile link between Pueblo and Salt Lake (and ultimately Denver) was to supply rail service to mining districts, major cities and agricultural areas in Utah and Colorado. BY THE end of August, 1882, the road through the Black Canyon of the Gunnison in Colorado was completed. One mile of track through this canyon is said to cost more than the entire construction through the Royal Gorge. More than 1,000 men and 175 teams of horses worked on the construction trail to the Utah border. AT THE same time crews were building westward from Pueblo, other groups were working out of Salt Lake to reach the eastern border of Utah. Within Utah, many small local railroads were incorporated to give communities and mines rail services. Eventually these independent lines would be absorbed by the Rio Grande and the Rio Grande Western companies. DR. WILLIAM Bell, a weal- thy Englishman and a friend of General Palmers, organized the Sevier Valley Railroad. This company consolidated with the Salt Lake and Park City Railway and other branch lines like the Little Cottonwood and Bingham Canyon, the Utah and Pleasant Valley Railroad to form the Rio Grande Western. These branch roads were usually built by local people using local financing. The Pleasant Valley Railroad was called "The Calico Line because its owner, Millan Packard paid his grading crews in bolts of cloth from his store because he was short of cash. THE REASON these local railroads were used to build in Utah was that the D&RG did not have a charter from Congress to build. In August of 1882, the Denver and Rio Grande leased the Western Rio Grande for a period of 20 years. RUMORS of a railroad connecting Denver and Salt Lake started as early as March, 1881. Utahns knew these suppositions were true when 30 acres of land in Salt Lake was purchased for a Rio Grande depot. The July 27, 1881 issue of the Salt Lake City Herald reported, 33,000 men were working digging through cuts, putting in bridges, laying rails and driving spikes on the railroads various extensions. THE NUMBER of paid employees exceeded that of the entire U.S. Army. This corps of workmen were laying track or planning new routes in 27 different directions. Happily, Utah is part of this great project and it was well, for if Utah would need anything in the next five years, it was rail- roads. velop a home image. People realized rail service in Southern Utah would open up the coal and iron ore reserves. Utah, Davis, Weber and Salt Lake counties would benefit because fruits, vegetables, grains and later refined sugar could be shipped to markets. Merchants knew a railroad would bring boom conditions to businesses. FARMERS Price competition i de- - between the U.P., the Central Pacific and the Rio Grande started long before the D&RG completed their Utah route. Shipping rates were lowered at much as 66 percent. Free passenger service was offered whenever a Rio Grande line was completed in Union fic territory. Paci- ON FRIDAY, March 30, 1883 the Rio Grande and the Rio Grande Western joined at the border. Utah-Colora- The last spike was drive in Salt Lake City at 4 p.m. Salt Lake and Denver were linked by a narrow gauge railroad system. The next step was to make the D&RG a transcontinental railroad. To accomplish this, the 36 mile gap in tracks through Davis County had to be completed. When Salt Lake The growth of the Denver Rio Grande and Western Railroad is recounted in this weeks historical column. was linked to Ogden, then the D&RG could offer rail service farms was forecast. Utah was expected to become the truck garden for the Colorado mine fields. The first freight cars that moved east carried Utah Valley potatoes to Leadville, Colo. . from the Atlantic to the Pacific. THE UNION Pacific and the Central Pacific resisted this move. They signed an agreement that stated no other road might approach the Ogden rail center without the consent of both established lines. Rio Grande workers were accustomed to trouble. On May 12, 1883, during a heavy rainstorm the workers nailed together long sections of rails, complete with fishplates and ties. Hoisting the units on the section hands marched into Ogden. They laid 200 feet of road before U.P. employees discovered what was happening. A switch engine was dispatched equipped with a heavy drag chain. Some track was pulled up. All night long U.P. engines ran through Ogden to prevent further expansion by the D&RG.V- - NEXT WEEKS article will d account of a be a Davis County railroad family. first-han- Crawford. Postal drivers have a very unique type of driving to contend with and must be constantly alert as they deliver the mail. During the weekly Safety Meeting held each Tuesday conducted by SPO Mrs. Wedb, all of the postal drivers are involved in the circums- tances regarding the many types of problems that may occur in their daily duties. FOR EXAMPLE they must be fully aware of the problem and precautions regarding vehicles because they are using them 5 to 6 hours per day. Postal drivers move in and out of traffic constantly and in doing so have to be alert as to what is about them. The letter carriers here at the Kaysville Post Office have a very fine safety record. The reason for it is because all of the drivers and supervisory personnel are concerned about safety. Their attitude is one of continual improvement. Weber River wasnt Mrs. Mary M.
