Why this spot
1907-1932 company coal town
Company coal town founded in 1907 by a Union Pacific subsidiary to fuel its steam locomotives, peaking in the 1920s with over 1,000 people, 125 houses, a hotel, a hospital and a school. The switch to diesel in 1932 ended it; the last residents left in 1976.View source →
