  • Century Chest Transcription 63
    Colorado Springs, Colorado, July 31, 1901. To the Happy Successors of the People of the Twentieth Century, Greeting: In the upbuilding of an empire, certain essentials are so necessary, success would be impossible without them. Among these essentials, transportation facilities stand first. The people of Colorado, during the years 1867 and 1868 when the plans of the Union Pacific Company were developing, knew this and they watched the progress of events closely. When it was decided to construct the Great Trans-Continental Line by way of Cheyenne leaving Colorado to the south without connection with the outside world, despair took possession of all classes. In time, however, the bolder spirits recovered their courage and an earnest effort was made to protect the interests of the people of the Territory. The organization of the Denver Pacific Railway and Telegraph Company followed a period of earnest agitation and discussion. The officers of this Company were John Evans, President; John Pierce, Vice President; R.R. McCormic, Sect'y.; D.H. Moffit, Jr., Treasurer; and Col. L.H. Eicholtz, Chief Engineer. These gentlemen promptly undertook the construction of a line from Denver to Cheyenne to connect with the Union Pacific and from Denver east to meet the Kansas Pacific line that was being extended westward. As a result of their efforts the Denver Pacific was completed between Cheyenne and Denver June 24th, 1870. The Kansas Pacific was completed on August 15th, 1870 by laying ten and a quarter miles of track in ten hours; five and an eighth miles being laid by each of two forces, one working eastward and one westward.
