Railroad visionaries push for Uintah Basin rail link
A Vernal Express 1926 report notes proposals for a railroad through Uintah Basin linking northwest Utah and Colorado to develop coal iron ore oil shale timber and phosphate deposits. Surveys in 1917 projected rising outbound traffic from 10 695 cars to 19 825 over five years with inbound traffic up to 5 450. Local leaders study potential tonnage as Western Phosphates and Denver and Rio Grande Western RR discuss a line, aiming to attract rail service and accelerate shipments and settlement.

The piece discusses stock investment advice focusing on Cumulative Preferreds of electric power companies. It argues strikers gained little, wage increases were similar to offers refused, and that preferreds trading in the 80s may move toward par as issues are absorbed.
