SALMONS, EDITOR AND MANAGER, JUNE, 1905. Denver, Northwestern & Pacific Railroad. The Denver, Northwestern & Pacific Railroad, or as it is more generally known, "The Moffet Road," was projected by David H. Moffet, to extend from Denver to Salt Lake City, a distance of something over 500 miles. With Mr. Moffet the construction of the road has been a matter of sentiment as well as a business proposition. Nearly half a century ago he came to Colorado, and it has been within the confines of his adopted State that by successful ventures in mines, real estate, banks and railroads he has massed the millions which he is putting into the new road, which will open up a new em NUMBER 6. pire and stand as a lasting monument to his memory. If the reader will consult a railroad map of the Rocky Mountain region, he will notice that between Denver and the "City of the Saints" lies a strip of territory 500 miles in length and 200 miles in width across which no railroad has stretched its meshes. The reason for this lack of steam communication with the outside world is not because the tract is a barren one, for it contains some of the most fertile valleys of the States of Colorado and Utah. In its mountains are rich deposits of the precious metals, gold and silver, and vast fields of coal, gilsonite, iron, etc., awaiting but the coming of YANKEE DOODLE LAKE AND CIRCLE, MOFFET ROAD, COL.-F. J. FRANCIS, PHOT'R. the railway to develop this vast wealth. From the top of any high building in Denver one may see to the northwest the reason for this undeveloped region in the frowning battlements of the Front Range, the rampart of the Continental Divide, stretching like the Great Wall of China in front of the coveted territory on which the leading spirits of the western railway have cast longing eyes and made many a futile attempt to reach in the years gone by. It has remained for Mr. Moffet and his engineers to scale the ramparts and to connect the outside world with the vast territory beyond its barriers. It was early in January of 1903, a little of the towering mountains which form the crest of the Continental Divide, the road climbs by varying grade whose maximum is two per cent. Thirty tunnels, varying in length from 75 feet to over 1,700 feet, and whose combined lengths are over 16,000 feet, have been driven. It is the intention of the railroad company to pierce the Main Range of the mountains at an elevation of about 10,000 feet by a tunnel something over four miles in length. Until this is completed, the "temporary line," as it is called, winds away to the northward, and by a devious route and a four per cent grade, finds its way to summit on Rollins Pass, where CLIMBING THE MOUNTAIN NORTH OF over two years ago, that the first work on the real construction of the line was commenced. In these two years only seventyseven miles of grade have been completed and track has been laid. But to appreciate the reason for this apparent slowness of construction one has but to ride over the finished road and to note that from the time the foothills are entered, a few miles from Denver, until Arrowhead, the present western terminus, is reached, fully a half of the grade was constructed through cuts, or tunnels, which were blasted through solid rock on the mountain sides. From Denver to Tolland, which lies at an elevation of 9,000 feet at the very foot TOLLAND, COL. F. J. FRANCIS, PHOT'r. from an elevation of 11,660 feet, the highest point reached by any broad-gauged road in the world, the passengers may look eastward over the plains for a hundred miles, and to the west range after range with their snow-capped peaks are within the vision, and in the more immediate foreground the traveler may look down into the magnificent amphitheater of Middle Park, 3,000 feet below, where the Frazer River winds like a silver thread through the green meadows, and nearer yet are the vast pine forests, coming up to timber line below the Pass. Often the train in making the ascent to the Pass, climbs through the clouds which hug the mountain sides and one looks |
