Railroads plan big spend and shop moves in West
Southern Pacific will invest thirty to forty million dollars in road improvements and switch from old rails to heavy steel. Plans include cutting grades on the Central Pacific and Lucia Ogden cut-off, with talk of new shops at Blasdel ranch near Glendale while insisting Wadsworth remains the shop hub. John C Stubbs named Harriman roads director with Chicago HQ, long tenure in Central Pacific and Southern Pacific traffic posts. President Hays notes no authorizing decision yet on Lucia cut-off and urges early straightening of the Ogden line, backing a Lucia to Ogden cut-off across an arm toward Great Salt Lake.
