	Railroad History in Utah
		Rio Grande lost control of the Western Pacific in 1916, with the latter railroad company remaining independent until it was merged with the Union Pacific in 1982, giving Union Pacific direct access to the ports of Oakland and San Francisco.
		The Rio Grande gained control of this line in 1898, realigned and rebuilt the worst parts of it, made it standard gauge, and operated the route as its Park City branch until 1946, at which time most of the line was removed.
		Later railroad lines built to serve the region's coal mines included the Kenilworth and Helper Railway, the Southern Utah Railroad, the Utah Railway, and the National Coal Railway, which completed its line in 1925 to serve the newly developed coal mines located in Gordon Creek Canyon.

	Denver & Rio Grande Western RR
		Its president, William Jackson Palmer, had originally organized the Denver & Rio Grande Railway in Colorado, intending to head south to the Mexican silver mines (as the name of the company attested) but was beat out for the southern route through Raton Pass, Colorado, by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad in 1878.
		In 1920, when the nation's railroads were finally returned to private ownership, the tangled financial status of the Rio Grande was finally unraveled.
		On 13 October 1988 Rio Grande Industries, owner of the Denver and Rio Grande Western, completed its purchase of Southern Pacific Transportation Company and the name was changed to Southern Pacific.

	02-1391 -- Goebel v. Denver and Rio Grade Western Railroad Co. -- 10/09/2003
		The Railroad contends that the district court abused its discretion by admitting Dr. Teitelbaum's testimony because (1) his general causation opinion was not supported by the medical literature he relied upon and (2) his differential diagnosis was unreliable because he failed to account for alternative explanations of Mr.
		First, the Railroad suggests that Dr. Teitelbaum erroneously reached certain "generally accepted propositions" regarding the symptoms, causes and typical occurrences of HACE only by selecting and relying on portions of the literature that were favorable to his ultimate conclusion without explaining or even considering unfavorable portions.
		The Railroad's core argument is that the district court incorrectly concluded that "this is not [a] case" where "too great an analytical gap" existed between the data and the opinion.

		Railroad employment has been broadly interpreted to extend not only to acts required by the employer, but also to those acts necessarily incidental to the employment.

		The Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad, an outgrowth of the Denver and Rio Grande Railway of 1870, is a vital part of one of the Central Transcontinental Routes across the country.

		One left Denver on the overnight standard gauge Pullman to Alamosa where transfer was made to the narrow gauge coaches of the mixed train to arrive in Santa Fe's "Union Station" late in the afternoon.

		A final peace in the war came after the intervention of the Federal courts, and the railroad "robber baron" Jay Gould who loaned the D&RG $400,000 and announced the intention to complete a rail line in competition to the Santa Fe from St. Louis to Pueblo.
		On March 27, 1880, the two railroads signed what was called the "Treaty of Boston" which settled all litigation, and gave the D&RG back its railroad.

		Colorado's railroad was the Denver and Rio Grande Western, founded by General William Jackson Palmer, also the founder of Colorado Springs.
		In later years, those familiar with Rio Grande would recognize the locomotives of that line by their fl bodies with gold lettering.
		They are so named because the air intake is near the lower portion of the carbody, allowing them to get cooler, fresher air away from the exhaust outlet from the diesel motor which would be much hotter and dirtier.

		By the early 1990s, the DandRGW had lost much of the competitive advantage that made it attractive to transcontinental shippers, and became largely dependent on hauling the high quality coal produced in the mine fields of Utah.

	DRGW.NET - Dedicated to Preserving the Memory of the Rio Grande
		Being a longtime railfan as well as a fan of the Denver and Rio Grande Western and its history, I decided to pick up the drgw.net domain with the intent of using it to store and preserve information on DandRGW, since it had long since disappeared into the SP and then more recently the UP.
		Concerning old Rio Grande company paper, however, we feel that in most cases we're safe in reproducing them for historical reference, as the company itself is now gone and such documents have no practical / commercial value to Union Pacific.
		While the past history of the Rio Grande is a good thing to cover (and we will be covering it - don't worry), the final chapters are still unfolding in front of us.
