The Ofjden-Lucin "Cut Off" is 102 miles in length, 72 miles on land nnd .10' miles on trestle work nnd fillins over the wnters of Great Salt Lake. It presents' a practically level track except for a short distance on the west end near Lucin, Ne vada, where a slight grade is encoun tered. The use of this cut off will throw out. the trans-continental traffic over the old! line from Ogdcn to Lucin, Nevada, around! the Lake. This strip of track is ono of the most expens've of the llarrimaiii system, the maximum grade over tliei long Promontory hill is 10-1 feet to the mile and helper engines are always neces sary. The elimination of the use of the80 engines will mean the snving of at least. ?1 ,500.00 a dny in operating expenses nnd1. nlso a saving of several hours in running: time.
