...and the two surviving McGuire-Cummings built interurban combines rotting away on the beach. Former interurban Salt Lake
Garfield and Western survives as a diesel powered industrial and switching operation, though it no longer extends to Salt Air
Beach State Park.

If you enjoy high speed suburban light rail service, take a ride on Salt Lake's Sandy line. The line shares trackage with the
Union Pacific Railroad and much of it is laid with 130 pound rail. Car govenors are set at 55-56 mph and the trains are pushed to
that speed between stops. As Fred likes to say, they move like the desert breeze.

Like Pittsburgh's Kennywood Amusement Park, Lagoon Amusement Park between Salt Lake City and Ogden, Utah, is a former "trolley
park."

SLC light rail cars also have roof spotlights and small pilots, giving them a slightly familar look to Pittsburgh's interurban
PCCs.
