Report on Denver Rio Grande Western rail property gains

Isaac Jackson submits a detailed assessment after a April 1888 trip from Grand Junction to Ogden. He finds the line well equipped, with steel rails, ample depots and shops, and growing business limited by equipment. He endorses the property’s value and notes Utah’s rapid growth and future prosperity, especially if Gentiles gain political control in Salt Lake City. Earnings show significant gains versus 1887, with Utah growth expected to boost traffic and value for New England investors.
