Over the Mountains to Salt Lake and the Sierra Nevada
A traveler’s vivid railroad diary from Salt Lake City onward, describing Salt Lake and its temple, the Great Salt Lake’s salinity, Ogden as a rail hub, Reno and the Sierra Nevada scenery, snow sheds, log transport by water troughs, Summit’s high pass, and fresh mountain water at a station, ending with Cape Horn and river gorges along the way.
