Railroad Cut-Off Across Salt Lake

The Union Pacific Railroad has already let contracts for the construction of a cut-off which will run directly across one corner of Salt Lake. The viaduct to be constructed over the waters of the lake will be over 40 miles long, the road being built on piles driven in the bed of the lake. The Union Pacific line will thus be shortened by about forty miles.
