Salt Lake and Ogden Elec-
trically Equipped.


A eventfu year in tho railroad
~ world has been that Of 1910, es-
pecially here in Utah. At the fore
front of tho van Of progress Is found
the Salt Lake & Ogden railway, which.
during the - months just passed. has
been transformed from a serviccable
but cumbersome steam line TO an up
to-datc. smooth running, electrically
propelled system of transportation,
giving an interrrban service which IS
uncxcciled anywhere in the country.
For many years the Salt Lake & Oir-
den was n struggling little line. built
between points as you might say, ana
running nowhere. Gradual extensions
We're added, however, until Lagoon,
tho Davis county summer resort, was
reached, and finally Ogden became tho
northern terminus of tho line. After
various vicssitudcs. the determination
of tho management to clcGtrify the road

year has this been accomplished.
Much money ana much labor have
been expended to bring about this re-
suit. In addition to the ordinary re-

the determined and well financed on,

it's march into the Junction city was
hindered by the fact that it had to
cross the path of the pioneer in rail-
roading in this state-the mighty
Union Pacific. This difficulty was
finally solved, however, by the con,
struction Of an overhead road, bridge
over the Union Pacific track. and now
the Salt Lake e Ogden trains run
above thos Jf the giant Of the west,
and all is peaceful in raildom.
The road has completed Il new sta

satisfactory. Maintaining its hour

The progress which has been made
