| Denver, Rio Grande and Western Pacific Union Depot |
| The Denver and Rio Grande connects Salt Lake City with Colorado and the East and taps the great coal belt and other mineral bearing zones of eastern Utah. It passes through a country unrivaled for scenic grandeur, as well as forming a line in one of the great transcontinental arteries of commerce. The Western Pacific completed this link to the Pacific Coast. It transverses a great region whose possibilities have scarcely been touched. It is built for miles in Utah on a bed of solid salt, which covers an area, nine miles by thirty miles, and has an average depth of ten feet. |
