MOFFAT MAY Use
RIO GRANDE LINE
Prospect That Salt Lake viii
Be Reached Sooner Than
Was Expected.

Denver. Nov. ia letter written by
William G. Evans. vice president of the
Denver & Northwestern railroad (the
Moffat road and addressed to David
Moffat. president Of the road. which
was made public, is interpreted by
many as indicating more clearly the
likelihood of the Moffat road using
the Denver & Rio Grande tracks 10
reach salt Lake.
The latter speaks faVOrably OF the
suggestion that the Moffat road build
cutoff from Crested. on the Moffat
road, TO DOtserO, on the Rio GEande.
This has been spoken of as a posi-
bility many times. but never before has
it received anything like official aD
prOval until today.
Mr.. Evans refers approvingly also to
the proposal 10 build a tunnel through
the main range Of the Rockies from
TOlland asserting that eighteen miles
OF distance would be done away with,
as well as a 2,0O0-fOot climb which is
necessary now. This tunnel. Mr.. Evans
saws, has been recommended by experts
who estimate that II would cost APP
proximately $4,000 zoe.
should the Moffat officials decide TO
build the cutoff TO Dotsero, in all prob
ability the original plan TO build a
seDarate line into salt Lake would be
a abandoned and the main line of the
Moffat road end somewhere in kOuJt
county, Colorado
