Rail Trail in Ogden Utah

I just spent a day doing business in Ogden, Utah, along Rt. 15. While searching for the Weber County
Sheriff's Department, I came across two sets of parallel railroad tracks, one apparently in use, the
other abandoned. These crossed Rt. 15 about a couple of hundred feet apart, and each ran off into
some beautiful-looking scenery.

Can anybody tell me if there's been any effort to convert the unused track into a rail trail?
I'd say it'd make a really awesome one. For those of you from out-of-town, like me, this Rt. 15
runs into a huge mountain range that was snow-caped on a day the temp hit 70 something. Many of
us easterners would travel hours or days to ride a trail like that -- that's if you'd want us
out there.

Any info?

There are some great rail trails in Utah.

most of them are around the Park City and I-80 area.

Utah also has the Jordan River Parkway trail that wil run from Ogden to Provo (~75 miles) and the
Bonneville shoreline trail( also ~50-75 miles)

More trails in the Summit County (park City) area are in the works.
