Mining Railroads.
Eureka Hill Railway.
36in Gauge. Constructed to serve the mines and Tintic smelter around Silver City held by Jesse Knight. Trains pulled by Shay locomotives operated up grades as steep as 5% bringing ore down the mountain to the smelter. The operation was profitable most of its life until the mines began to close in 1917. By 1928 the line filed for abandonment but remained in place until 1937.
American Fork to Deer Creek, Utah County. 1872 - 1878
