Union Pacific shifts Denver Fort Collins link to main line
Harriman pushes a new Denver to Fort Collins line with Kilpatrick Bros. & Collins of Beatrice Nebraska securing the contract for the full route. Northward expansion includes a $3 million northern Colorado program with $1 million in the Greeley district, large terminals at Greeley, and a surge in land sales along Sixth avenue as agencies open in Denver. Skeptics warn the move is an expensive bluff aimed at Burlington and the Denver & Rio Grande.
