The Denver Il Rio Grande is by far the
longest railway of three feet gauge in the
world, and In extent and character it has al
ready taken rank among the great railways OF
whatever guage. Considering, especially, that
it's built mainly over mountainous country,
where construction expenses are heavy and
population Is sparse, Its rapid growth has
been remarkable. 1t has now over 500 miles
IN operation and II is expected that this will
be increased to 900 miles before the close of
the year. The trains of the Denver ~ Rio
Grande now run from Denver to Leadvillc, to
Ell Moro, and to Tres Pledras, New Mexico, GA
miles south of Alamosa, and before the end of
July Will run so miles west of San Antonio
(29 miles beyond Alamosa) in the San Juan
country -Raiitoay Age
