Denver businessmen push conditions on Rio Grande tunnel deal
The Denver chamber of commerce and the Uintah and Central Utah groups petition the Interstate Commerce Commission to require Rio Grande control of the Moffat tunnel and Dotsero cutoff under strict terms. They demand through service and fair freight arrangements, plus a fixed rental or tonnage-based arrangement to cover tunnel costs and protect taxpayers. The brief warns that without a stable agreement, public debt tied to the tunnel could reach 45 million dollars, the largest in the region.
