Utah Railway Mohrland Branch

Built sometime in the 1910's, Utah Railways Mohrland Branch was built to service the Mohrland, Black Hawk, and Wattis mines. The line is 20-ish miles long from the Mohrland loadout on the southern end all the way up to a junction near Helper (not represented in this recreation) at the northern end. The bulk of the branch saw its last train around 1996 while Wildcat to the north saw its last train in 2015.

I tried to make this route as faithful to the real route as I could, but with the limited time I had plus limited information and photographs, I had to take some creative liberties. Nevertheless, this is a few weeks worth of work and my first "true" route. I hope to recreate many more real life routes in the future.

This route in particular takes place in the late 70'S/early 80's. It also includes the Wattis Branch leading to the Wattis mine and an abandoned Great Western branch to the north.
