Golden Spike Chapter of the Railway and Locomotive Historical Society

I thought I’d reach out to everyone who has been visiting the S4 site and see if we might have some common interests beyond building and industrial automation. I’ve been a model railroader for my entire life and when we moved to Ogden, UT a few years ago some of the first things that I discovered were:

Ogden Union Station

The Hostlers Model Railroad Festival

The Golden Spike Historic Site

The Golden Spike Chapter of the Railway and Locomotive Historical Society

Ogden Union Station Foundation

The Golden Spike American Flyer Model Railroading Club

The Rails to Promontory Project

I think you see a theme building here.

I’ve gotten very involved with these activities in what little spare time that I have and it’s been very rewarding. The GS R&LHS is working on the restoration of the narrow gauge D&RGW steam engine #223. You can find more details at:
