Overview

As of June 28, 2011, all of the information contained in George Pitchard's "Utah Railroads Scrapbook" manuscript, as well as his "Newspaper Notes Project," has been fully incorporated in the applicable files for each railroad covered by his research.

As limited research in the pre-1900 era has been completed, much of Mr. Pitchard's excellent research has been verified using either the Utah Digital Newspapers Project (https://digitalnewspapers.org/), or digital newspapers available from the paid-access site Newspapers.com
