which now seems certain, the Union
Pacific railway is planning the CON
struction of a cutoff between Platte
Vile. Colo, and Laramie. Wyo., which
will eliminate all heavy grades between
Denver and Laramie and shorten the
distance 10 Salt Lake City.
Engineers of the Union Pacific have
completed a survey for the proposed
cntoff and part Of the right of way
has been secured.
Five years ago, when it became evil
dent that the Motfat road would be
built, the Union Pacific began looking
about for d shorter route between Den
Yer and the Mormon city Several
plans were reported on, but none seemed
TO please r.. II. Hartman. The expendi-
lures involved were too large to make
the plans practicable.
The idea of constructing cutoff
from Plattevllle 10 Laramie, according
to report, has met the approval of Har-
riman and il will probably be built.
The Union Pacific is trying to prevent
the Colorado and Southern from extend
ing its Fort Collins line to Cheyenne,
to connect with its Wyoming line. and
it is said that the proposed Platteville
Laramie cutoff will help in the plan of
cut off the Colorado & Southern.
