Switzerland Trail of America to End Service
The Switzerland Trail of America line, operated by the Denver Boulder and Western railway, will discontinue service at midnight September 15, 1919 by order of the state public utilities commission. The 46 mile line has posted deficits of 8067 in 1918 and 6667 in the first five months of this year, with motor freight and autos diminishing demand. Cloudbursts wrecked the roadbed, ore shipment projections failed, and stiff competition sealed its fate. 35 men remain employed.
