Historic Street Car Lines in Ogden

At the East Central Bench community planning meeting yesterday, Shalae Larsen gave several of us a copy of a map showing the old street car lines in Ogden. As the study gets under way to determine which route is best, she is campaigning for the 26th Street route. Here is a copy of the map she provided (click to enlarge):


North is to the right on this map. From this representation you can tell that the First Bench neighborhood just east of Washington was chuck full of rail lines. Lines ran up 21st, 23rd, 25th, and 27th when this map was printed in 1914.
