A Remarkable Railroad.

For seventeen years the people of
Colorado have wondered why the Col
orado and Eastern Railway company
operated a road at cost of $25 a day
when the receipts, all told, amounted
to less than 81 day. The problem
has at last been solved. The com
pany owns rights of way worth prob
ably $4,000 and to suspend opera
tions mean to lost the franchise.
Purchasers for the road have been
hard to find until now, from the fact
that the owners had nothing to sell
real estate. and neither has been of
any value. The Denver, Northwestern
and Pacific IS, says the Philadelphia
Record, about to begin the construc-
ton work on its line from Denver,
to Salt Lake, and the Chcag-, and
Rock Island company wants a right Of
way into Denver, and as a result. the
two roads have purchased the Colora.
teresting history.
The road was built in 1885 from
Elyria, a suburb 2f Denver, to the
Scranton coal fields, sixteen miles east
Of Denver. The company before build
ing the road, secured several thousand
acres of land which contained mil
lions of tens of coal, and for time it
looked as if the market would be
flooded but before the world knew
what had happened the company was
buying coal to burn IN its lone engine,
and it has done s., ever since.
Great bodies of this Scranton coal
We're opened up, and it appeared to be
the best on earth, but almost immed-
lately after it was exposed to the
weather it went through chemical
process similar to the shaking of burn
ed limestone.
The railroad had hardly been finish
ed before this startling announcement
was made public. A million dollars
had been expended. The franchise
was granted With the understanding
that the property was to be continu-
.a.sly kept in operation. and from that
day to this, with few exceptions, the
one train. consisting of dinky engine,
a combination coach and flat car, has

made a trip to the Elyria coal fields
and return every tWenty-four hours
Hundreds and hundreds of times the
engineer and fireman made up both
crew nd passengers.
From the lst of December, 1898,
until March, 1898, the train did not
make a single through trip. The snow
during those months was from ten to
forty feet deep all over the mountains
of Colorado. and f,C three months not
a run was made. One entire week of
the time thetrain and crew were lost
and searching parties were sent out.
In 1883 Jay Gould made a trip to
Colorado with the hope of searching
a right Of way into Denver for the
Missouri Pacific, and probably but for
one little incident his road would be
running into Denver and the idea Of
the Denver, Northwestern and Paci-
fic would never have been conceived.
Mr. Gasld had heard of the Colorado
and Eastern and determined to buy it.
that he would take a trip over It.
The engineer got a tip. He knew
his rolling stock was light and that
his rails weighed bat eighteen pounds.
There was only one thing to do it he
wanted to give Gould a good impress
sion Of the road. and that was to run
his train not much faster than horse
car.
The officials of the road and the
then great railroad king got aboard.
when MI Gculd who stood on the
fiat car. asked the engineer to run
faster, but there was no change in the
rate of speed Two or three times
Mr. Gould asked that the train be run
faster, but the engineer, knowing what
the result would be, kept the even ten
or, of his way.
Pull that throttle open and let her
her go, - demanded Gould. and the en-
gineer C.1eyed The engine shot along
the track at fearful rate. Some
times the fat car would be a foot from
the rails. and then again high up in
the cir. From that day until the day
he died he never said another word
about buying the Colorado and East
