Agricultural Boom Nears in Wyoming Basin Rail Link
Frederick J. Johnson reports in Western Farm Life on James J. Hill’s railroad project completing a through line from Puget Sound to the Gulf. The Great Northern, Burlington, and Colorado & Southern open a path via Billings Orin Junction and Denver, turning central Wyoming into a prime agricultural region and cutting travel to about a day. The Denver Chamber of Commerce delegation found vast trade potential as direct service promises faster markets, livestock shipments, and closer ties between Denver and the Big Horn Basin.
