[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 412556, member: 11881"] I will see if I can find out. The only thing it's used for now is the two steam engines they keep out there to do the reenactment with. Answer: The line was discontinued in 1904. They ripped up the original tracks that were laid along with the ties to reuse for the WWI war effort. In the 1940's a total of ~200 miles were restored in Utah, Nevada, and Wyoming over the original grade (what they call the prepared ground). Those parts are a smaller gauge and in use today but not for real train work. [/QUOTE]
