Mr. Leavitt spoke eurrrtaluIngly q
his early experience In railroadlug
through La Juuta. and among other
things said:
Il first came to this place when
the Santa Re extended its line to
Pueblo from West Las Auimas. The
work was begun in November Of 1875
and, as | remember IL. the rails were
laid into La Junta probably thirty
days later The road completed its
track TO Pue 10 on She "a of March.
1876
The Kansas Pacific tnow the
Union PacincI ran into "a Juu,a be.
fore the advent of the Santa Fo.
and there were but two firms here
In the earliest days Of this place
Chick, Brown and Company and Otero.
Sellers and Company This was the
terminus Of the n. z. al that time.
and these two firms handled the
freight, etc, which came to them
over that road from the East They
did a forwarding business. and hauled
the freight overland into Arizona.
Mexico. and other territory not yet
penetrated by railroads from this sec.
ton.
These two forwarding firms started
La Junta. and when they later moved
TO III Mora. La Junta was no more for
while It was four years after the
Santa Fe paralleled the Kansas Pa.
cific into La Junta from West Las
Animas that the former road built
It's line south TO Trinidad Il was
not long after the Santa Re began
doing business into La Juuta that
the Kansas Pacific found they had
a competitor with whom they could
not successfully cope The Santa Fe
had money, while the X. =. was In
hard luck In that respect and exper.
fenced no little difficulty Ia paying
the Interest due the government on
the money with which the road was
built The Santa Fe hauled cattle
into Kansas al lower price than
the X. r. could afford To do It for.
and when the Santa Fe later sue.
oeeded In securing the contract to
haul the mails, the X p. became dis.
oouraged and tore up their rails from
La Juuta TO Las Animas and on to

Kansas Pacific line into La Junta
