I grew up in Ogden, on Grant Ave. I never knew the prejudice talked about here. My Dad taught me to respect all men as equal. We visited a gentleman across 24th street and bought pork from him, as a toddler I thought were related to him somehow. I am greatfull to him for this.I miss him and try to treat people as he taught me!

My father was born in Ogden, in the early twenties. His parents were some of the first Mexican Americans to settle in Ogden. My father worked in metal recycling industry and later at Hill Air Force base. I grew up there in the sixties and seventies and recall that it was a very fun place to grow up in. We lived above the Ogden river. It was a great time to grow up in northern Utah.

To Mr. Goeckeritz and Mr. Findlay, hats off to you for this spectacular presentation! I was born and raised there long ago. My father was a locomotive engineer for the Union Pacific. The grand depot was so incredibly alive with people and vibe around the clock. Back when corporate demeanor was lax, and an engineer could easily sneak his kid onto the engine, I rode with him countess times. Night runs in winter were my favorite. We would roar into the station, sitting high, just barely clearing under the platform umbrellas whizzing overhead.. then slowing to a gentle stop. Many trains in the station at once.. hundreds of people coming and going.. 25th Street aglow with neon just outside the well-worn front doors. A unique and far other world from today.. I am so fortunate to have known it then, and to remember it now. Thanks, Dad. Thanks, Ogden. Loved ya both.

Young life in Ogden has oft times been at the core of those writings, and I possess a deep, personal appreciation of my original hometown experience. It extended seventeen years before my eventual departure west, though will forever maintain a well-seeded and heartfelt component of my existence.

Very Interesting film/Video. I was born in and spent my early life in Brigham City some nineteen miles to the north of Ogden. I had an Uncle who drove trains for Southern Pacific. He worked out of Los Angeles. In 1950 I was taken by my grandfather from Brigham City to Los Angeles. We rode a Greyhound bus to Ogden and there boarded a Union Pacific Train to Los Angeles. It's desert all the way almost to Los Angeles. We arrive at the Los Angeles Union Station the next morning and my Uncle drove us to my parents' home. Los Angeles seemed like a different planet. We annually took car trips to Brigham City to see extended family that lived there. As a young man I returned to Utah for University education. Passenger trains were gone. I came on Greyhound buses. Later I came back to Utah to live. Now I'm old. To the Union Station of Ogden was added a transit center for buses in and out of Ogden. The FrontRunner computer train was added in 2008. It ran from Ogden to Salt Lake. In 2012 it was extended to Provo. The Southern Terminus is only about a mile from my Provo apartment. As I have a brother living in South Ogden prior to the pandemic I took the Frontrunner and two Ogden busses to his house occasionally. Also around 24th and 23rd Street Ogden is getting quite a revival. Days of 47 is a bigger holiday in Ogden than in Salt Lake. Quite a bit has happened there since this film was made.

Great film about Ogden and railroading. And a gem of a station, a pleasant place to wait for a train adventure east or west Why Amtrak ever moved the transfer point to Salt Lake is beyond me. The good fathers of SLC turned the real station into yet another bazaar - just what SLC needs - and built a tiny, uncomfortable tinhorn shack of a station nearby. Riders there when I was stuck due to train delays were greeted with a poster of a ferocious German Shepard, thick protective glass between the crude excuse for a waiting area and the rude station agents. The train was delayed 2.5 days; then, when it was supposed to arrive, delayed another few hours. No comfortable chairs, not enough chairs. People slept outside on the cement overnight. (What, I thought, do they do in the winter here?). That station looked like something from a movie about WWII Germany with the dog poster. It was, and I suppose is, a national disgrace. Why not keep Ogden as the transfer point. (Great Grandfather was a RR man - Santa Fe - and he'd turn over in his grave if he saw that SLC city.)

@Joy U, my husband travelled (only) nine states for work doing primarily very large industrial and institutional heating, cooling, and related process furnace, boiler, and chiller work. I work three twelve hours shifts at our local hospital and was blessed to be able to travel with him and meet people from all walks of life. I also, along with our son, joined our fire dept to spend more time together as a family. His parents and grandparents thought it important to serve the community in some capacity. He fought fire, ran squad and rescue for over 30 years to 'unwind' after dealing with people that looked down their noses at others and thought they knew it all. Our son went on to serve others in the coast guard and has made serving others his career. He is now second in command of a large facility on the east coast. Great strides have been made in manufacturing and technology but at the cost of human interaction and socialization. People don't volunteer as they once did. The 'whats in it for me' disease has crept in and infected the majority of folks. The more advanced we become, sadly, the further behind we truly are Many should look past their degrees hanging on the wall, which won't serve well as toilet paper, and probably poorly as kindling, if the need arises-- and get back to true roots-- often literally.

Later, when I became a Young Adult, I was apart of an Architectural firm that helped to redraw historic documents for some of the buildings on 25th street to be re-stored (Hotel Helana and others). I will say we found plenty of passageways between hotel rooms and in basements to the speakeasy tunnels. I love the town and all its history!

Seeing a documentary about somewhere i live in is so weird but also incredible. Ive always known Ogden was historical and there was a lot of story to it but I had no idea just how much. Also if you ever come visit go down the historical Jefferson avenue street and 25th. It’s a whole other world as an architecture major one of the coolest things was learning about all those buildings and how they’ve survived to this day

From 1869 to 1969 very close to the famous Promontory point where the transcontinental railroad was completed, when the transcontinental interstate highway was completed cross country from coast2 coast (without stop sign or red light) was linked up and completed very close to the same spot( almost 100 yrs apart....to the month).

I love how Al Capone thought this place was too dangerous to run his racket there lol! He literally thought he'd be shot dead in the streets!

We were there last year and it looks great, very active downtown, beautiful old buildings, they’ve restored the station, nice places to shop and eat. It has a bright present and future!
