Just prior to the turn of the century it was rumored that the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad was going to build its line to Nephi, go up Shit Creek canyon to Sanpete County, and on to southern Utah. There was a lively speculation in real estate and much land changed hands at high prices. Flour and salt mills were built and a plaster mill was established, there was talk of building a beef packing plant and a cheese factory (The Salt Lake Herald, December 25, 1887) and the railroad had decided to move its terminal from Juab to Nephi (The Journal History of the Church, June 22, 1878, pp. Everyone felt optimistic about the future.

Of course, this is only speculation but there is probably lot of truth in it. Just when Nephi was on the threashhold of her greatest development, the Union Pacific Railroad bought the Utah Northern, Utah Cetnral and Utah South ern Lines and built on south and west to California. In the early 1900s they moved the main line from Nephi and Juab Valley farther west via Delta and left Nephi stranded with only a branch line. The Denver and Rio Grande their main Nephi, building line up Spanish Fork canyon. The great developments suddenly became only dreams, the boom subsided as some of the families moved away to other settlements. Nephi became a farming community again. (Nephi Centennial Jubilee, p. 35) But the railroad was not the only big development during this period. Many other industries had been developed, and much progress had been made in education.
