The first [http://www.utah.com/playgrounds/transcontinental.htm transcontinental railroad] went through Utah and beginning in March of 1969 and in some cases before that time, many of the people in Utah Territory were hired by the railroads. The railroads have continued as a major source of employment for people in Utah since that time. It is only logical to search railroad employment records for information about your ancestors, especially if the U.S. Census records show that they worked for the railroad. | |||
