SPENDING MILLIONS if
IN IMPROVEMENTS 1
New Detour Line Over Soldier Summit Being H
Pushed Biggest Single Piece of Railroad ill
Constrnction In the WestTo Be Com- H
pleted By Next August. rH
"When the earth was created the
architect evidently did not renlUe
that railroads wero to come later. It
ho had, I think perhniM he would
hnvo constructed noma part or tho
country differently," remarked A. II.
Apporson, general superintendent ot
tho Utah lines or tho Donvor and
Hlo Qrande, recently, after return
ing to Salt a)cv City from n trip
ot Inspection over thnt part of tho
lino whero millions of dollars arc
bolng spent In Improvements. Tho
pooplo or Utnh havo but a faint
conception of tho vast amount ot
work that Is bolng dono al this time
and that Is planned to bo dono In
tho next two or three years In
bringing tho road to such n, condi
tion that It will bo ono or the finest
In tho world.
Mountains aro being torn down or
pierced by tunnels and rivers aro
being changed from their courses to
mnko tho Improvements for which
contracts have already been let In
Utnh. So stupendous U tho work
already under wny that It Is hard
for tho layman to understand Us
magnitude.
As nn oxnmplo of tho work's mag
nitude, It may be cited that the now
detour lino ovor Soldlor Summit will
cost an nvornge of $140,000 a mllo
tor a dlstnnco of a llttlo more than
fourteen mllo, or nt an approximate
coil of two million dollars.. It Is
the biggest ploco of single railroad
construction undertaken In the West
In n long tlmo. Whon completed,
about August 1, 1013, tho new lino
N.III bo about four and a half miles
longer than tho present lino, but it
A'lll roduco tho grade from 4 par
rent to n trifle less than 2 per cont.
Somo Idea or what this will moan
to tho railroad company may bo
gathered from tho statement ot of
ficers of tho road, who say thnt
whero It Is now possible to haul
flfleon loaded cars ovor tho summit,
It will ba possible to haul from for
ty to sixty-five cars over tho now
I'uo. This work Is under tho Im
mediate charge of L. II. Furman, an
engineer who has beau connoctod
with tho Dunvor and Hlo Ornndn
for more than twelvo years.
An Anuy of Skilled .Men.
Tho contract for tho detour track
has boon let to tho Utnh Construc
tion company, which hits already es
tablished four big camps and will
ostnbllsh a number or others In tho
near future. With tho advenl of
good weather thoro will bo no rower
than two thousand mon omployod on
this piece or work, tho majority or
whom will bo oxparts In tholr ro
spoctlvo lines, such as steam uhovel
men, drlllmon, lunuulmen, concrete
workers and othors.
Within a short tlmo thoro will bo
nineteen big steam shovels at work
on this now lino. Bvory bridge and
culvert will be or steel and conoreto.
No wood will bo mod.
The double track detour, however,
U but a part or the vat Improve
ment for which tho company hits
already eontruated, or oxcct to lot
contracts In tho near future. Tho
company let n contract some tlmo
ago for tho double tracking or the
main llnu from Helper to Tblstlo, a
distance of fifty mllos, at a cost ot
a llttlo ovor 11 million dollars. Thir
teen miles of this now work has
beou completed und work on the re
mainder I being rushed with nil
possible speed, It being tho Intontlon
to have this part of the work finish
ed by tho mlildlo of next summer.
In many places on this stretch of
fifty mllos thu company Is not only
laying an additional track, but tho
grado and curvuturee of the existing
track nro bolng changed to make it
conform to thu nuw track.
At this tlmu the company Is con
sidering the oxtendlng ot tho double
truck from Thlstla to Mldvalo, which
would give tho company a double
tracl. from Helper to Salt Lake City,
It Is expected that contracts for
this work will bo lot early next
year. Tho estimated cost of this Is
two million dollars.
Tho company is also considering
plan for tho spending of ovor u
million dollars for now terminals
