Bamberger Railroad P.1

The Bamberger Railroad had its beginning in January, 1891, and its first run was from Salt Lake City to Beck's Hot Springs, a distance of four miles. It did not reach Ogden until 1908. It was by then operating as the Salt Lake and Ogden Railroad. It became electrified in 1910. The Bamberger made its final run on Saturday, September 6, 1952.
