When the Union Pacific railrbad was being constructed in 1868. Mr. Barton recounted that I worked with pick and shovel on the grade in Weber canyon, and later rode on the first car that entered Salt Lake valley. In connection with this memorable occasion, Mr. Barton added, Early in 1869 the Union Pacific tracklayers reached the mouth of Weber canyon. 1 took the Kaysville brass band to Weber canyon about six or eight miles from Kaysville end as the rails were being laid and the work train moved west slowly down the canyon, it stopped opposite where we were playing (serenading the train crew) and we were invited to get aboard. This we did and the Kaysville Brass band has the honor of riding in the first car and on the first rails that entered Salt Lake valley, for the train moved slowly westward qs we got aboard and we played into the valley.
