Emerson's Enterprise drives a proposed railroad plan
The Rawlins to Encampment survey shows 63 1 4 miles with a 1 percent grade. Willis George Emerson is seen as the driver who will complete the project if given a reasonable assignment. The line would be profitable with growing mining traffic, increasing land values, and cheaper supplies for mining. Local property owners should share in the enterprise, as Saratoga and Rawlins stand to gain. The note mentions mining prospects and rival railroad plans, plus Governor Bailey urging officeholders to have preexisting bank accounts.
