History:\"Although meant to be temporary, the Moffat Road operated for twenty-four years, from 1904 to 1928. In 1904 the railroad thought a tunnel would take three years and $4 million, but the project’s cost and estimated construction time continued to climb. Moffat had trouble raising money for the tunnel, in part because Edward H. Harriman of the Union Pacific Railroad did everything he could to stop construction on a potential rival to his own transcontinental route. When Moffat died in 1911, his railroad had not yet reachedCraig. It soon foundered, reorganized as theDenver & Salt Lake Railroad, and was ultimately acquired by theDenver & Rio Grande Western Railroad\".
