Utah Central Railway Overview

The Utah Central Railway operates over 34 miles of rail line in and around Ogden, Utah. UCRY’s corporate headquarters are located in the Amalgamated Sugar building in Ogden. The railroad provides exclusive rail switching services at Business Depot Ogden, a large industrial park. The company began operations in 1992 as a private switching railroad, and became a common carrier in 1995. It expanded operations in 2001 and 2004, and the Patriot Rail Corporation gained control in January 2008.

For many years, the Business Depot was served by an ex-Air Force Fairbanks-Morse H-12-44. In July 2010, the UCRY repainted their ex-Rarus Railway GP9 black with a large "Utah Central" in gold across the engine compartment, and moved it to BDO to replace the FM locomotive. Reason for this replacement is unknown; according to a Utah Central employee, the H-12-44 had only 100 running hours in 2009.

UCRY interchanges with both UP and BNSF at Ogden and Harrisville.
