D. 4 R. G. WILL NOT
REMOVE Third Rail
Road Yields to Protests of Cit
zens Of Salida, Gunnison and
C.her Places

|. Plans of Denver& Rio Grande
railroad to remove the narrow
guage track from Salida to Lead
vile have been abandoned accord
ing to an announcement by the
state pGblicutilities commission to
day, says the Denver Times. Both
broad and narrow guage service
will BE- maintained between Sa-
Ida and Leadville.
The first notice by the railroad,
early in August, that it intended
to renlove the third rail system
met with protests from citizens
and business interests of Gunni-
son, I.eadville, Salida, Brecken-
ridge, Como and other cities sim
ilarly situated. Protests were filed
with the commission by shippers
in waich claims were mlie that
such action of the railway com
pany would mean loss due to
the increased cost in transference
of freight.
The railroad company was en-
Joined from removing thenarrow
guago system pending a hearing
by the commission and copies of
protests were served upon the Of
ficials Of the Denver & Rio Grande.
Rather than go into a hearing
on the matter in an effort to just
ify the proposed removal of the
railand cessation of narrow guage
service the Denver Il Rio Grande
abandoned it's intention and will
continue operation of the narrow
guaec service.
In the event of the railroad
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1916-09-16

The decision of the Denver &
Rio rand railway not to remove
the third rail on its lines, is al
most of as much Importance as
its decision to build the road in
the first place. Should it have
carriedout its plans for removing
the third rail or narrow guage
system the kneli would have been
sounded for two Of Western
Colorado's most important indus
tries: coal mining and stock rails
ing. All of the developed coal
measures in this section Of the
state are reached by the narrow
guage; stock, agricultural and
fruit shipments depend on the
narrow guage, and if the system
were closed thaincreased cost of
shipping would, by having to
transfer. eat up any profits and
these Industries would be closed.
The not far distant future is
oound to bring the broad guage,
but until it comes the life of our
mighty empire depends on the
narrow guage and the D. & R. G.
will neverregret retaining it.
