Image of Emigration Canyon's Pinecrest Inn that was built as a destination by the Emigration Canyon Railroad. The Emigration Canyon Railroad was incorporated in 1907. Within a year the 14-mile line was in operation. Its city terminus and yards were located near the western end of the present University of Utah stadium parking lot. Its route passed by Mount Olivet Cemetery, Sunnyside Avenue, the Wagner Brewery near the mouth of the canyon, and up what is now Highway U-65 to the Killyon’s Canyon turnoff, with a spur to the quarries. The ECCR operated until 1907.
