Common Carrier Railroads.
American Fork Railroad.
36in Gauge. Constructed to connect with the Sultana Mill at Forest City in the American Fork canyon. The line came within 4 miles of it's goal terminating at Deer Creek and operated on 5.5% grades up the narrow canyon. By 1876 the local mining activity went into decline and the road turned to tourism unsuccessfully before succumbing to debtors.
American Fork to Deer Creek, Utah County. 1872 - 1878
