Tooele Valley Railway
The Tooele Valley Railway was a railroad which ran through Tooele, Utah; founded in 1908, and owned by the Anaconda Copper corporation. The line ran from a connection with the Union Pacific Railroad and the Western Pacific Railroad at Warner Station on the western edge of Tooele, Utah, to a terminus at the International Smelter. The line was abandoned around 1982.
The Tooele Station has been preserved to form the Tooele Valley Railroad Museum and has been registered on the National Register of Historic Places as the Tooele Valley Railroad Complex.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tooelecity.org/citydepartments/railroadmuseum.asp )〕
==History==
The Tooele Valley Railway was founded in 1908, by the Utah Consolidated Mining Company to connect the International Smelter to the Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad. The line ran from a connection with the mainline on the west end of Tooele, Utah, to the smelter located on the bench of the Oquirrh Mountains. A large portion of the line was a street running railroad, traveling through Vine Street until reaching Tooele Station. The grade traveled out of the city until crossing a wooden trestle at the mouth of Middle Canyon. The grade continued along the mountain bench until reaching the smelter. In 1937 a branch line was built connecting the line to the Elton Tunnel. The smelter closed in 1972, and the railroad lost its main revenue source. The last train ran in 1980, and the line was abandoned by 1982.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://utahrails.net/utahrails/tooele-valley.php )〕 Reclamation of the grade was performed as part of the Superfund program.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.epa.gov/region8/superfund/ut/intrntnlsmelt/ROD.pdf )〕
