It was constructed under the direvtion of the Oregon & Lucin Raflrond company, incorporated in J . The' old line between Ogden and Lucin is M7 miles in length. It makes a detour aroung the northern portion of the lake, taking in Promontory, Kelton and various other small and comprisés twent feven miles of rolling track where the grades are heavy, but.can be climbed by a single engine on the train by taking runs for the hill; Afty-three m:es or very heavy grades, demanding a double-header, and sixty-seven miles of levél ground.

Very 'briefly these are, the circumstances of the union of the two lines of rallway which closed the gap and completed the first great transcontinental railroad of the United States, his new line, formally opened and dedi- | cated today, leaves the old road at Ogden | and datts across Great Salt Lake, strik- ing Lucin, 1,6 miles away, making almost a straight cut. Betwsen Ogden and the lake it traverses a level strip of country for fourteen and a half miles. In this dis- tance the line crosses the Weber river twice and maked three slight curves. In | all, the line is composed of seventy-two miles on land and twenty-nine and a half of trestle on water. Twelve miles, and 600 feet of this. trestle is to be permanent; the remainder filled with material from Little Mountain and Promontory Point. Across Promontory Point, a distance of five miles, the line skirts along on land One of the almost insuperable obstacles encountered by thé buflders of this won. derful plece of rallroad was a rock 3,000 feet In length and averaging twenty feet in depth, through which It was necessary to cut. This Is on Promontory Point Across 0ld Lake Bottom, Umbria s the western cut-off. It Is fifty milles from the lake side. Across the old lake bottom, where the water has receded, the line runs along without any curve exceeding two degrees and only four at dll. The heaviest grade on this fifty-milé » ¥ip 18 0.4 feet o the hun- dred'and that is for only a very short dls. tance. There are but seven cuts, thg heaviest being fifteén feet. The completioh of this cut-off is the ‘frultiofi of ‘Hoges long deferred, the con- simmation of pns and schemes of years of profound and’extensive résearch, the pinnacle of achieveément only 4 few years ago regardedl a¥ next to an impossibility or at least the wild venture of an imagination, et if 1s ‘a fict—a &tupendous one. When you stop and cotimder all that It really fs then you tif‘Wpibecidte it. For years and years men.of goud techniosl and practical minds sought:in vain te devite a success- ful method for getting traffic across this great body of water. They all'agreed that it ought to be dane, but how to do it has been the problem. Whem Mr. Harriman known this scheme (which he does claim ‘to. have omikinated) such ‘men as James R. Keene sald it was silly, and even after Harriman had his plans far on the way of execution’ Keene declared it would b colossal fallure. Senator J, B, For- aker of Ohlo, 1n his great argument before Judge Lurton of the United States cour in that memorable controversy between Keene und Harriman, grew almost dram- atic in his eloquent denunclation of the folly, futility apd utter Insanity of the proposition. “It Is costing many more millions is estimated and will have to he doned,” declared Senator Foraker. Not Dismayed by Disaster. Last April when huge locomotive dragged Itself, _score or more of cars, | section after section of embankment, and some human beings into the unfathomable depths of two gigantic quagmires. those who had counselled against the bullding of the cyt-oft became all the more apprehens. ive, but the adyocates of the scheme still felt secure in thelr faith of its ultimate success. This scheme was not origidal with Mr. Harriman. Indeed; before he assumed con- trol of the system, Chief Engineer Hood of the Bouthern Pacific wanted to straddle the great lake with such a line. Mr. Har- riman's first idea, .when he took command, was to skirt around the southern end of the luke. He thought it would be best to run & cut-off from the' Union Paclfic at Evanston, Wyo., to Salt Lake and make that clty the ferminus. But this plin was combatted by Hood, who finally won Gen- eral Manager Kruttschnitt to his way of thinking and at last, after he gave his careful study to it. Mr. Harriman, cordl- aully embraced 1ae scheme Chief Engineer J. B. Berry, of the Union Pacific was one of the men who opposed the cut-off scheme at first, foaring that it could never become a salutary construction, and then would cost an outlandish sum of money. He dig not at all deny the possi- bility of the cut-off, on the. contrary, he thought it might be possible, but he main- tained that fhe route around the lower end Of the lake would be the better from all standpoints. One of its objections and fears wax that the violent storms which | sweep the northern part of the lake would whip, the waves up against the trestle work With such irresis lble force us to destroy the strongest trestie that could be bullt. This debate and dispute between the engineers and officlals continued at some length, but Hopd and Kruttschnitt finally won their point and took Mr. Harriman in as their first conveft What Experience Experience proved that Mr. Berry and nis | followers had some pretty good cause for their apprehensions and thelr scheme, \mi‘ still it looks as if the other advocates had & little tangible grounds on which to stand As soon as the workmen started In they | began to encounter difficuity. The poor old pile driver can testify to this. It would strike areas where, apparently, the bottom was solid and secure. Then the first thing anyone knew the plle would go clear through, the sait and sand bottom not be- ing as firm as was supposed. When water was reached the temporary track was shoved along by means of sand bags, which were loaded on rafts and poled out to the desired place. Then they were piled in tiers and over them were placed timber steingers on which the track was lald During the construction of this strange, waonderfyl thin for the convenience of the workmen, & boarding house was erected | six miles out on the lake and it could be as l | on | ten | big | renuous Pacific a | | | | | terminus of the insane a than aban- a The Ogden-Lucin cut-off is.a line of track extending from Ogden to Lucin, Uteh, croseing the Great Salt Lake at its widest ached ofly By hoal.
