On May 10th 1869 the United States was linked by the transcontinental railroad.  A trip across the country was cut from four months to just seven days, and a new era of overland transportation began.  Just weeks after the joining of the rails at Promontory, the transfer point between the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads was moved to Ogden, Utah.  Overnight, the small farming community became the two companies’ official Junction City, and no traveling passenger would cross the country by rail without stopping in Ogden.

Ogden: Junction City of the West tells the story of the remarkable influence the railroad and its millions of traveling passengers would have on the culture and commerce Ogden, Utah.

The film was recently awarded Utah Best of State for documentary and is now available on DVD
