Idaho Stands by Union Pacific Against D&RG Raid
The letter condemns the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad action before the ICC challenging Union Pacific's Idaho operations. It argues the D&RG has no Idaho investment or payroll and would raise freight rates by forcing short hauls, harming Franklin county shippers while UP provides the long-haul, tax, and payroll benefits Idaho relies on. The piece urges backing UP unless the D&RG proves real service gains.
