Saltair Train Car 502 – Great Salt Lake – Utah

Saltair Train Car 502 - Great Salt Lake - Utah

The abandoned Salt Lake Garfield & Western Railroad Car 502 sits on in the desert grasslands that surround the Great Salt Lake outside of Salt Lake City, Utah. Also known as the Saltair Train, in its heyday, the train car ferried passengers back and forth between the old Saltair resort that stands on the edge of the lake.

Beginning in 1893, the Saltair Resort went through at least 3 different incarnations. The latest one, began with the construction of new facility out of an old military hanger in 1981. However the unpredictable water levels of the Great Salt Lake which went from flooding the new building shortly after it opened, to leaving the venue a significant distance from the edge of the lake, caused the resort to be abandoned for much of the last four decades. But in recent times, it has become a location for smaller, independent music concerts.
