Rails Around Helper (Images of America) ROAD TRIP

Rails Around Helper (Images of America) ROAD TRIPBy: SueAnn Martell and the Western Mining and Railroad Museum In 1880, the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad was hard pressed to find a suitable rail route from Grand Junction to Salt Lake City. With the coal deposits of eastern Utah luring them on, railroad officials chose a difficult route over Soldier Summit. The railroad established the town where "helper" engines were attached to the heavy trains, and Helper grew into a division point with branch

and residential centers with Greek- and Gothic Revival-style structures built of stone and adobe

that tell the story of the railroad and of the people who kept it running
