Terrace, Utah, Site
Not much left...
Per the interpretive sign, Terrace was the biggest town on the transcontinental railroad in Utah, with workshops, a roundhouse, and a switchyard. At its peak several thousand people may have lived here. All water was imported, which made the town's existence precarious. When the Lucin Cutoff was built in 1904, which re-routed the railroad across the Great Salt Lake, it was the beginning of the end. Pretty much everyone had left by 1910.
The name "Terrace" comes from the prominent shorelines from ancient Lake Bonneville on nearby buttes, which look like terraces. The map location is approximate.
