Tractor Train Is a Success Between Casper and Salt Creek
Reed Exploration company inaugurated six Caterpillar train services between Casper and the Salt Creek fields. The initial one-train effort hauled about fifty tons of freight along sandy roads and proved effective enough to add another tractor. Three trains weekly run between Salt Creek and Casper, with plans for further expansion as road conditions improve. A tie camp between Salt Creek and Jasper supports the operation, providing engineers, field managers, supplies, and relief crews to keep trains moving with no delays.
