Why this spot
1868-1918 transcontinental railroad summit town
Railroad town at the high point of the original Union Pacific grade, where trains changed engines, with a five-stall roundhouse, turntable, section houses and water tank. It was abandoned after 1918 when the railroad moved its tracks about three miles south.View source →
