MIDLAND BRIDGE BURNED AT SNOW MASS

Should such a step be taken, and ii
is not beyond the possible, the Rio
the C. NJ. crossing would be abandoned
and the Midland track from that point
would be used. That there is something
to be gained by such move cannot be
denied. Owing to the grade of the Mid
land from the C. NJ. crossing, which is
three miles from Basalt, to Aspen, at
least fifty per cent. more tonnage can
be hauled over that road than can be
handled by the Rio Grande over its
own tracks.
1t is true that, had a bridge on that
section of the Rio Grande been destroy
ed, there is little doubt but that the one
track plan would have been adopted
almost Immediately, but it is believed
that when the Midland bridge is re
placed it will be modern structure of
steel and far more substantial than was
the old bridge, and in that event the
Grande will doubtless abandon rs
track and use that of the Midland.
Coming from Aspen both roads would
use the same track, but each would re.
turn to its own track at the C. NJ.
crossing.
1t is said that nearly $50 feet of the
Snow Mass bridge and trestle were de
stroyed by fire of unknown origin on
Wednesday night. 1t is true, claims
have been made that an Aspen bound
engine was responsible for the blaze,
but the report could not be verified late
yesterday evening. The agent at Snow
Mass is said to have discovered the
flames, and after giving the alarm
along the line devoted his strength to
extinguishing the blaze.
