THE UNION PACIFIC COAL COMPANY
cm:MENCm@~T OF OPERATIONS
The lands on whic h the coal properti es of The Union Pa cific Coal Company
in Wyoming a re situated were f o r the most part, though not entirely , i n cluded in
the original l and gr a nt to The Uni on Pacific Railroad Company under the Acts of
Congress of July 1, 1862 - sometimes r ef e rred to a s t he " charter " or " enabling
act" - and the amendatory Act of July 2, 1864. The i ncorpora tion of The Union
Pa cific Railroad Company and t he construction of it s r ai lroad west wa rd from the
Missouri River were authoriz ed by the se Acts .
The original Act excluded "mineral lands" from the gr ant, but the Act
of 1864 excepted "coal and iron" from the exclusion. A subsequent d e cision of the
United States Supreme Court estab li s hed the railroad company' s owner s hip of oil,
gas, and other mineral depo sits underlying granted l ands , patented t o t h e company .
The exi st ence of coal in southern Wyoming was known t o the ea rly explorers , notably Bridger, Ashley, Fremont, and Stan s bury. The n eed f or adequate
supplies of fuel for th e railroad ' s ope rations , a s well as f or dome stic and indus trial use s , was a sub s t antia l con sideration in t h e engine ering location of the
r ailroad .
In J ul y 1868, The Union Pacific Ra ilroad Company contra cted with Messrs .
T'n omas Warde 11 a nd Cyrus O. Godfrey, coa l mining opera t ors of Bevier, Mi s souri,
to open the coal mea sures on The Union Pacific Rai l road Company ' s lands in Wyoming,
and lea sed the lands to them for that purpose .
During this year, the lessees
opened up and produced coal from mines at Carbon and Rock Springs, Wyoming. In
this s ame year, No . 2 mine at Carbon, Wyoming was opened by private operators .
In Janua ry 1869 a new corporation, the Wyoming Coal and Mining Company,
was formed, to which lessees Wardell and Godfrey assigned their contract on April
1, 1869. Following this assignment , No . 2 mine at Carbon, was also taken over
and the Wyoming m:ine at Almy, near Evanston, 1.'fyoming, was opened. Operati ons
of the Wyom:ing Coal and 1~ining Company were terminated in March 1874 when The
Union Pacific Railroad Company took possession of the mines.
The Union Pacific Railway Company (successor of the railroad company)
also acquired by purchase certain producing mines in northern Colorado . These
were operated by The Union Coal Company, a subsidiary of the railway company, organized in July 1883 , These mines, and other small coal properties which had
been acqu:ired in Utah and Montana, were worked for comparatively short periods.
They were all disposed of or abandoned prior to 1900.
The mines at Carbon in 1889 were nearing depletion and in that year the
rail·way company opened a new mine in the coal measures at Hanna , a few miles to
the north.
The Vvyoming mines were operated continuously by the Coal Department of
The Union Pacific Railr.o¢ .CO!,llpaey .from 1874 to January 1880, and by its successor ,
The Union Pacific Rail~ay Company, from January 1880 to 18£0.

COMMENCEMENT OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
The Union Pacific coal Company was organized September 17 , 1890, It
acquired from the railway and auxiliary companies its coal properties in exchange for its first mortgage 5% gold bonds and capital stock. During this
ownership, its properties, augmented by additional mines in the same general
area, have been progressively improved, and its output has been increased to an
all- time peak during the years embraci°P World War II.

THE UNION PACIFIC COAL COMPANY

EXPANSION ANp DEVELOPMENT (Continued)
Mining Machines
. Some mechanization of the mines had been undertaken before they
were acq~red by The Union Pacific coal Company. The first machines known
a~ the "Al.r Legge" undercutting machines were installed during 1882 in No.4
Mine at Rock Springs, Wyoming.
On May 16, 1892 the first electric mine locomotive manufactured in
the Unite~ stat~s wa~ placed_in service in No. 7 Mine at Rock Springs, \"Iyo.
Known as 'Charlie Snu.th 11 , this locomotive was of the terrapin back type
weighing nine tons with a gauge of 30 inches and had a capacity of 6 horsepower with a speed of eight miles per hour.
In 1895 the early undercutting machines were transferred from No .4
Mine to No. 8 Mine mere the air-driven puncher machines were later introduced. The first electric cutting machines of the breast type were also installed in No . 8 Mine . These machines were a great improvement over the air
machines and their use was extended to Nos. 7, 9 and 10 Mines at Rock Springs .
An improved nachine of the short-wall type was placed in service in No.8 Mine
about 1902. This unit was the forerunner of the present electrically operated short- wall machines. By 1905 compressed air machines were entirely discarded in the Rock Springs field. Another type of electric machine known as
a track cutter was later placed in service in the D.O.Clark lfd.ne at Superior.
I

By reason of its great height, the coal in No .4 Mine at Hanna,
Wyoming had to be removed in benches, and 'Where large amounts were shot
down at one time it frequently caught fire spontaneously before it could be
loaded. To reduce the danger of spontaneous combustion, mechanical loading
was introduceq in 1916 with the purchase of a Thew excavating shovel equipped
with electric motor and a bucket which had a capacity of one and a quarter
yards. Another Thew shovel "as placed in service the following ymr and two
more in 1918 but in 1930 these shovels were replaced by the improved Joy
loaders . Th~ earlier Joy loaders known as the 4-BU were first used in Hanna
No. 2 Mine in 1923.

Early in 1 925 a scraper 1,oader with a capacity of ~hree and onehalf tons was constructed in the company I s shops at Rock Springs, After
experimenting successfully vii.th this ~chine i2:1 Rock Sprin?s No. 8 Mi.~e,
eight more were inst,alled at Rock Springs, Reliance, and Winton, Wyonu.ng.
Although these machines worked well under gocd roof they were n?t successful
where timber had to be set fairly close to the face·, and were discarded for
other types of loaders with a greater range of utility.
The first shaking conveyor was imported from Bochum, G~~man~, and
was installed in superior "C" Mine November ~O, 1925. ~n 1926 six mor? of
these machines were purchased and the following year thirty more. were installed in the different mines , From 1~8 to 1930? nwnber . of_pit c~r
loaders were installed primarily to remove pillars in Rock Sp1:-ngs mines and
to provide a type of machine which could be best used by certain older employes.
With the early shaking conveyors a retractable pan was used at
ly a small pa rt of the coal could be

With the adoption o f electric devices around the turn of the cent':1ry a power pla~t was ere cted in 1901 adjacent to the boiler plant for N 10
lli~e ~t Rock Sp rii:1gs, Vzy-~ming. This plant ·appears to have had the follow·~~g
principal generating equipme nt:

2 - 100 K.W. , 2300 Volt A.C . Generators
3 - 225 K.'i'l ., SCO Volt D. C. Generators
1 - 300 K . W., 2300 Volt A.C. 'l'Urbo-Generator
2 - Allis- Chalmers Corliss Engines
3 - American Ball CC Engines
At that time steam for operating the engines and turbine was generated in the
boiler plant and supplied by pipe lines serving the two buildings.
During 1912 and 1913 a 750 K.W. turbine and alternator were installed, replacing the two 100 K.W. generators and Corliss engines which were
purchased in May 1901 and appear to have been standard equipment at oth'.er
districts like Cumberland and Hanna, Wyoming where electric power plants were
also placed in operation about the same time as at Rock Springs, One Corliss
engine and generator sold to the Washington Union Coal Company were shipped
to Tono, Washington , Harch 15 , 1913. The other units were transferred to
~anna , July 14., 191 3 . In 1914 a 1000 K.W. turbine was added to the equipment
in the Rock Springs plant .
The first extension to the power plant building at Rock Springs was
undert aken in March 1917 along with an enlargement of the cooling tower.
During the next three years two 2500 K.W. turbo- generators were. installed,
replacing two American Ball engines and 225 K,H. generators , which were
?crapped in April 1 919, and the 750 K.W, turbine and alternator which. were sold
in April 1920
I n 1921 another 2500 K. W. turbo-generator was placed in service

Rock Springs, ~:~o. An executive office has also been maintained in the
Headquarters Building of the Union Pacific Railroad Company at Omaha,
Nebr aska since March 1923 .
In 1927 the general offices of The Union Pacific Coal Company and
the Southern Wyoming Electric Company (predecessor of the Southern ~-~ oming •
Utilities Company) were in four different locations in Rock Springs , Wyoming.
In that year, to provide adequate office space and to r eplace the mercantile
stor e building, destroyed by fire in 1925, a general office arrl mercantile
store building ,..as erected on the corner of Pilot Butte Avenue and N Street .
This structure provides office space for the managerial, engineering, treasury, and accounting departmmts , as well as quarters for the mercantile
store arrl Southern Wyoming Ut ilities Company. Five fire-proof vaults, a
library, shower room, and heating plant were also provided in this building.
The heating plant also serves an adjacent structure known as the "Old Timers '
Buil ding" which was constructed in 1929,

THE UNION PACIFIC COAL COMPANY
SOCIAL SECURITY
Since the _enactm~n~ of the Social Security Act, effective January 1 , 1937, The Um.on Pacific Coal Company has complied with the requirements thereof , and with the State and Federal Unemployment and the Federal
Old Age and Survivor Insurance Acts.
Based on an opinion of its General Counsel, the Railroad Retire•ment Board ruled on August 1, 1939 that The Union Pacific Coal company was
an "Employer" under the Railroad Retirement Act, the Railroad Unemployment
Insurance Act, and the Carriers • Taxing Act of 1937, retroactive to January
1, 1937. Pending final decision as to the applicability of the Acts, contingent liability was set up in the accounts representing the difference
between the employer tax that had been paid under the social Security Act
from and after the effective date of the carriers ' Taxing Act of 1937, and
that which would have been paya ble if the company had been subject to the
Carriers ' Taxing Act. Additional deductions were also made from the wages
of employes to meet the higher rates under the Railroad Retirement Act.
On August 13, 1940 the President signed Bill S-4070 exempting employ es of railroad ovmed captive mines from the Railroad Retiranent Act,
the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act, and the Carriers I Taxi~ Act o~
1937. Accordingly, appropriate adjustment was made of the contingent liability accrued in the accounts and refunds made to employes to adjust the
collections to the basis of the Social Security Act •

THE UNION PACilIC COAL COMPANY
EMPLOYE REPRESENTATION
.
A~ early. as 1871, an organization known as "Knights of Labor'• ,
which came into existence as a secret organization in 1869 was enrolling
miners in the 1{yoming coal districts. Although the presid~nt of the company :efu~ed to r ecognize the leaders of the K.o.r: L,in his dealings, this
organization appears to have extended soire influence over the miners.
The best available inforrration indicates that this organization passed out
of existence in 1895.
The records are not clear in respect to employe representation
for a period of several years. An organization known as "Miners National
Association" was in existence prior to 1876, but there is no record of its
activity in Wyoming . While there seemsto have been some local agreements
with representatives of the miners, there was no contract such as the one
next referred to .
On September 1 , 1907, the first contract was entered into with
the United Hine \!]orkers of America . This contract , among other things,
set up new wage rates which reduced the race differential previously in
existence and set up an 8-hour day for the first time. The race differential was removed entirely effective January 1, 1911.
The contract with the u .1:. W.A was renewed during successive
years , the most recent one being dated July 2, 1948.
