for the Coast.

Good progress was made in 1907 in the
construction of the Western Pacific, the
road that is to give Salt Lake City di'
rect connection with san Francisco, the
road that constitutes the last link in thu
great transcOntinental system of George
]. Gould.
Every person interested in the futur,
of Salt Lake City and Utah is watching
the keenest interest. It means greai
things for this community. not only il
the development of business to the west
but more particularly does it mean greai
things for all Utah because of the con-
version of the Rio Grande Western into
an integral part of one of the greatest
railroad systems in the nation.
At the close of the year the Western
Pacific is completed from Salt Lake City

but at this time it is the desire to con.

rather than to establish train service by

1t must not be concluded that the line

When II is considered that the WORK

up at the same time FOR the traIlspOrta-
ton of ore from the mines of the west to
the smelters of salt Lake valley. Cattle
in large numbers are now shipped to
southern California; this is also true 81
wool: wonderful possibilities are opening
up for coal and other commodities and
above all else are the splendid conven-
fences placed at the disposal of the trav-
cling public.
One of the most important moves of
the year by the salt Lake Route was the
substitution Of oil for coal for use on
the engines. This is to insure an abso-
lutely certain fuel supply at all times,
which has not been the case In recent
years owing to the shortage Of coal. This
change alone neCessitates the expenditure
of $50 coo for oil burners for the engine
and oil tanks located along the line. The
tanks with their capacities are as fol-

Added Equipment Helps Greatly.

The really important work done on the
Rio Grande system during the year was
in the improvement of the road and in the
increase of motive power and rolling
stock. In the year fifty-One locomotives,
nine passenger coaches. five chair
coaches, four diningfcars and go ore cars
were purchased. These. purchases will
aid materially in overcoming the con-
gestiOn from which this road has suf-
fered in recent years owing to the rapid
increase of its BUSINESS.
Large sections of the road were relaid
during the year with S0-pOund and So
pound sttel rails and much work was done
in the direction of improving the road
bed. Ballasting was one of the features
of the year. This is in line with the pol
icy of the management to renew the en-
tire road between Salt Lake and Ogden
and Denver.

of 60 per cent in freight shipments An
