PHOTO OF THE DAY--OREM RAILROAD STATION--PAYSON


OREM RAILROAD--PAYSON STATION

The Orem Railroad was complete to Payson in May of 1916.  There was a duel celebration held that month to recognize the completion of the Orem Railroad line and the Strawberry Highline Canal Project.  The Payson Station was located approximately where we find the parking lot of the Crest General Store today.  George A. Cheever was the station master during most of the time the railroad was located and operated in Payson until 1946 when service was discontinued.
