Will Build Cut Off From Utah To Salt Lake City
A dispatch from Omaha reports a planned railroad cut off from Kebuu Utah to Salt Lake City to be built this year. The Southern Pacific main line from Ogden to Salt Lake is to be extended five miles toward the southern end of the lake, shortening the distance by about five hundred miles. No action has been taken yet due to rough terrain and limited surveys. The proposed route would bypass the existing path via Ogden and create a direct line to Salt Lake City.
