Ogden’s stately Union Station continues to anchor the cities iconic 25th street as it has done for nearly a century. It stands, as a reflection of the longstanding history and dynamics of Ogden City as the Crossroads of the American West. It is a living reminder of Ogden’s participation in America’s growth and prosperity.
It was March 8, 1869 when the Union Pacific Railroad steamed into Ogden, soon to meet its destiny in uniting the nation in rail, three months later at Promontory Summit, Utah Territory. On this single day, the seed was sown, for Ogden to become a rail center whose story, is unparalleled as it participated in the development of Utah, the West and the Nation, and became a call to peoples from across America as well as from many lands looking for opportunities.
