Moffat Road Faith Persists in Oil and Rail Plan
Newman Erbs, New York financier and former railroad president, backs extending the Moffat road from Denver to Salt Lake City via Bast Lane City and through Routt and Garfield counties. He urges a crate pipeline to move oil, a salt lake connection, and a 66 million dollar tunnel plan, saying Denver profits depend on oilfield development and greater freight and passenger traffic. He spent days in Denver and Salt Lake City detailing these aims to boost the Moffat route and its receivers.
