Still another snow-bound CON
signment of folks were finally in
formed that the train that they
were on had been discontinued till
spring, and that owing to circum-
stances over which the manage
ment had no control it would stay
where it was till further notice.
These folks escaped on foot to the
nearest town, the men taking
turns in carrying the two women
on the train.
The most snow-beset road in
the United States is the Denver,
Northwestern & Pacific, now in
course of construction. This road
crosses the divide at an altitude
of 1900 feet and owing TO the
cold and the winds that prevail at
that height it is only by constant
vigilance that the road can be
kept clear.
4 Snow plows must be sent over
the line every day. In many plac-
es the trains pass through clean
cut canyons of packed snow that
far over top the roofs of the cars.
