Description
Utahs four major interurban lines come back to life in this special video. See
the splendid Bamberger RR, classic interurban Salt Lake & Utah, the lengthy Utah
Idaho Central and the famous Saltair lines of the Garfield, Salt Lake &
Western, -- as well as the entertaining, and famous, Salt-Air Pavilion. This
was one of the earliest western theme-parks-- that met with Utahs values and
provided local-folk with a good time and wholesome fun.
Both passenger and freight operation from the 20s to the 50s. Also, the little
streetcars in the cities of the region and an early and continuing theme-park
(built by the Bamberger line) of importance out west are special topics.
Dont miss the huge Bingham Canyon, open-pit copper mine and their electric
trains in detail. Its the largest mine of its type on planet-Earth!
The Bingham Canyon mine operation was so large that it could actually be seen
from outer space as a significant topological feature from the Space Station! We
bring the culture, history and rail lines and industrious-ways of the people of
the Greater Salt Lake Region.
To quote Railfan & Railroad magazine, a very PBS-quality presentation"
