Mountain railways test nerve of young engineers
A Butte Inter Mountain report on rugged mountain routes describes how Colorado, Marshall Pass, and other western lines demand nerve and experience from engineers. It highlights perilous curves, trestles, landslides, and the mastery of airbrakes, noting many men fail on first mountain trips while companies seek calm, steady riders. The piece also contrasts plain road work with mountain service and notes the high cost of error for crews and passengers. It closes with a separate note on a horticultural pursuit for an entirely black flower, a long-sought goal despite legends like The Black Tulip.
