Through a deal with New York Central's Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad, 22 B. & O. trains between Washington and Chicago began using P. & L. E. trackage between West Pittsburgh and McKeesport as a short cut through the Pittsburgh gateway. Besides reducing running time from 20 to 45 minutes, the change will result in large savings in the operation of heavy freight trains, since the P. & L. E. tracks in the Pittsburgh area do not have the heavy grades met on some sections...
...Tell the world that New Orleans is now to be known as the centre of learning and science; the gateway to all continents; the centre of the greatest highway, railway and water developments in the world; and that the reign of vice and crime is a thing of the past! Let no one try to flaunt the warning I have given...
Last week the first transcontinental trains ever to pass through Denver chufied through the Moffatt Tunnel ("Gateway to Nowhere") and on to the West Coast- two double-header freights loaded with Nebraska corn, Colorado coal, stoves, grits, lumber, hoboes.

Next day the Governors of Colorado and Utah, the Mayors of Denver and Salt Lake...
Distant memories of the October day when President Roosevelt met with a cold reception at the gateway to his own college have faded far into the past with the tremendous approval which has been showered on him by the CRIMSON-Literary Digest poll.

This change of feeling cannot come as a great surprise to many people; it would have been startling if the College had still maintained its support for the Republican Administration...
...will run from Dotsero, Col. on the Denver & Rio Grande Western to Orestod (Dotsero backward) on the Denver & Salt Lake. The Dotsero Cutoff will finally put to more than nominal use the famed Moffat Tunnel just west of Denver. Commonly known as "Moffat's Folly" or "The Gateway to Nowhere," this tunnel was the life-long dream of the late David Halliday Moffat, oldtime Denver banker who sank his $10,000,000 fortune in an attempt to put his home town on a transcontinental system and died twelve years before the tunnel was begun.
