4TH ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM
MAKING TRACKS
The Utah Construction Company, which incorporated in Ogden, Utah, in 1900, began as a builder of rail lines. The skills gained in grading routes and laying track would later expand into dam-building, construction, and mining projects in 16 countries on six continents.
Please join us for a fascinating look at several of the company's early projects, as well as exhibits, a slide presentation, and a panel discussion on the impact of railroading in the American West.
