Nope - it's just that the Denver Pacific has the best right of ways into
and out of Salt Lake City.  Meaning that the other Rail Barons have to find
far more expensive routes.

While S&R and Hellstromme aren't friends, Robards is more then happy to
sell passage on his tracks to Wasatch - the same way he does for Black
River and Union Blue.

In fact - Robards may understand that if he did refuse passage to Wasatch,
Hellstromme may be forced to take far more drastic action - action that
right now is more inconvienent then building his own line.

Everybody dies.  Whether you die on your feet or on your knees, is entirely

Why did the chicken cross the road?

L. Ron Hubbard.
Eons ago, evil aliens coded it's genetic structure to do so.  To rid
yourself of these engrams will require a trip aboard our luxury
