This Month’s Topic
The Iron Rails
With today's modern transportation, it is difficult to appreciate how important the railroads were to the development of Layton City. Starting in 1870, there were four railroads that ran through Layton. These railroads moved agricultural products and manufactured goods to markets all across the United States. Without the railroads, Layton could not have developed into the community it is today.
