Description:

UtahRails.net(This page printed from UtahRails.net, Copyright 2000-2020 Don Strack)Here at UtahRails.net, our aim is to provide in-depth historical information about railroading in Utah.Any story about Utah's railroads must also include background information about the industries the railroads serve, so you will also find information about mining companies, canning companies, and grain and flour mills and elevators, and eventually, any company that shipped anything in a railroad car.You will also find extensive research and information about the various mining districts in Utah, and the railroads that served them directly.Along with Utah's fascinating railroad history, we also have available lots of history of the equipment of Utah's railroads, such as locomotives, cabooses, passenger cars, and freight cars, for railroads that operated in Utah, including Union Pacific, D RGW, Utah Railway, and Kennecott Copper.At times it seems we've only scratched the surface, but progress is being made.
