Show B-6 Wed/Thurs/Fri, December 16-18, 2020 The Park Record Green Tips W AY WE WERE Salvation, part two — competition comes to Park City Buy local during holidays ERIC MOLDENHAUER Recycle Utah During this age of online ordering and instant shipping, take a moment to think about the benefits of buying local. Keep your money in our community by doing your holiday shopping at local businesses, instead of buying from massive online retailers. Shopping at locally owned businesses benefits everyone from local business owners to the people they employ to the communities where they operate. As beneficial as shopping local can be for small business owners and the communities where they operate, the planet is perhaps the biggest beneficiary of consumers supporting locally owned small businesses. Consumers who choose to use their purchasing power to support local businesses may not realize just how much they’re helping the planet in doing so. The Center for Climate and Energy Solutions notes that transportation is the largest source of carbon emissions in the United States. The environmental impact of purchasing locally manufactured and sold products is significant. When you’re making your holiday list, choose to buy local to support our planet and our local businesses. It’s more important now than ever. Recycle Utah, your community nonprofit drop-off recycling center, provides these weekly tips. Visit its website for more information — recycleutah.org. Zion sees overcrowding on popular scenic road THE PARK CITY HISTORICAL SOCIETY & MUSEUM, NAN MCPOLIN COLLECTION A D&RGW locomotive, with four men standing or sitting on or by the pilot (sometimes called a cow catcher). Union Pacific challenger left a lasting legacy DAVID NICHOLAS Park City Museum researcher Welcome to our second article regarding the salvation of Park City’s railroad blues. In our first installment we discussed the railroading aptitude of Brigham Young’s third son — John Willard Young (JW). By 1888 JW possessed 20 year’s experience as an iron horse entrepreneur. A new opportunity beckoned — connecting Salt Lake City with Park City, Coalville and beyond. The residents and commercial interests of these towns were desperate for a competitor to the Union Pacific Railroad (UP). By 1887, UP enjoyed a monopoly concerning the rail-related transportation needs of Park City. It achieved this by eliminating its only competitor — the Utah Eastern Railroad. Originally chartered to construct a narrow gauge (3-foot) railroad from Coalville to Park City to Salt Lake City, the company had exhausted its funds by the time it reached Park City in December 1880. Engaging in financial and securities chicanery, UP gained control of the Utah Eastern then shut it down in 1887. A true coup d’état. Just as the mines were extracting bullion from the treasure-laden mountains surrounding Park City, the UP was intent to extract its own riches unfettered by competition. The harder the UP squeezed, the louder the prayers for salvation. JW was listening. Park City and Coalville represented alluring new markets for JW and his financiers. The mining industry featured a near-insatiable appetite for coal, timber (both for construction and fuel), salt and other commodities. Besides, the mines needed to ship their ore to outside markets. In addition, Salt Lake City required ever-increasing quantities of cost-effective coal — emphasis on cost effective. Transporting the “black diamonds” from Coalville was expensive and traffic in Parleys Canyon was a mess — the toll road between Salt Lake City and Park City was constantly choked with wagons. JW appreciated the engineering and financial challenges of constructing a railroad between Park City and Salt Lake City. However, he was bolstered by an unshakable belief in the benefits of a direct rail connection and its potential business bonanza. Travel time would be reduced from 10 hours to two, with a corresponding decline in drayage rates. Exercising his oratory, visionary and financial skills, JW secured the required funding from both local and outside financial markets. Conquering the steep grades (6%) of Parleys Canyon precluded construction of a standard gauge (4 feet, 8 1/2 inches) railroad. Thus, a narrow gauge (3foot) design was selected. Construction proceeded at a remarkable pace, with regular service commencing in May 1890. Alas, JW failed to realize the benefits of directly connecting the two growing metropolises. Construction costs of the Salt Lake and Eastern Railway vastly exceeded estimates. Over-extended, JW lost control of the company, which was merged into the second incarnation of the Utah Central Railway, a subsidiary of the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railway. The D&RGW would break the UP monopoly and serve Park City until 1947 — a period of 57 years. In response, park is sometimes closing entrance to canyon ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. GEORGE — Officials at Zion National Park have started to regularly close the road into the park's main canyon due to overcrowding from private vehicles since the shuttle service closed for the season last month. The popular Scenic Drive roadway has been overrun with visitors since the shuttles stopped operating Nov. 30, forcing officials to close the gates to ease traffic and prevent illegal parking, The Spectrum reported Wednesday. “In order to make the scenic drive available to as many visitors as possible throughout the day, park staff is managing parking and flow of traffic,“ park spokesperson Amanda Rowland said, adding that the canyon has been closed almost every day before noon except on Saturdays. The drive was packed earlier this summer when there was no shuttle service because of coronavirus restrictions. It reopened in July with high demand. During that time and in years past, officials often let visitors drive through the road without parking despite it being full, but this year they stopped. “In the past, we have allowed for those wishing only to ’drivethrough’ or sightsee without parking, however, invariably, many visitors ended up parking along roadsides which prevented emergency vehicles from accessing the full scenic drive,” Rowland said. “Maintaining the availability of emergency services is paramount.“ The Scenic Drive is expected to remain open to private vehicles and commercial shuttles through Dec. 24, when it will close for shuttle operation until Jan. 2, 2021. Tickets for these dates are now available online. Biking and hiking up the canyon are still allowed throughout the winter season, officials said.
