The current featured exhibit at the museum is called “The Iron Rails.” It is a look at the development, use, and economic impact of the railroad on the citizens of Davis County. The exhibit features the five railroad that were important in Davis County history. The first company examined is the Utah Central Railroad. This is the first line to cross Davis County beginning in November of 1869. The Utah Central was followed by the Oregon Short Line, the Denver & Rio Grande Western and then the Union Pacific. The exhibit features pictures and artifacts from these railroad was well as explain the history of the lines and their individual impact on Davis County citizens.

Of special interest is the display section featuring the Salt Lake & Ogden Railway (more commonly known as the Bamberger Electric).  The commuter passenger line, started in 1891, eventually moved through the principal communities of Davis County and passengers could easily travel between Salt Lake City and Ogden.  Also, passengers could commute to work at various points along the line.  Included in the Bamberger section of the display are numerous pictures taken in Davis County.

This feature exhibit will be at the museum through December of 2008.
