 Union Pacific In Utah, 1900-1996

The Union Pacific spur crossed both the DandRGW and the SLandU, with the portion from the DandRGW crossing to the steel plant being operated as joint trackage because the steel plant received its coal from the Carbon County coal mines served by the DandRGW and the Utah Railway.
Union Pacific's application was protested by both Southern Pacific and the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad, arguing that the new trackage would duplicate SP's already existing 1.7-mile spur, and that shippers had not shown that they required duplicate service from two railroads.

 Travel Golf: Lovett wedge
The bulbous head and the rounded sole of the Lovett are reminiscent of the old Alien Wedge, and the idea is similar: More weight to take the club through the junk.
The Lovett's design deviates from the Alien, though, in the shape of the leading edge and sole.
It is just as easy to blade the Lovett as it is a traditional sand wedge, even more so from a tight lie in the fairway.

The railroads that soon crisscrossed the country have been called "the Internet of the 19th century," and Baker Botts represented the railroad and banking interests of E.H. Harriman in Texas and the South and Southwest, including acting as primary counsel in those regions for the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific Railroads.
