If this where I think it is, you are with in less than a mile of the Salt Pavilion. If so, the SL G&W ran with in 100 feet of this location. When the lake receded all the lake side business at this location closed up. The SLG&W continued to run excerrsion trains, but not out this far, pulled with their 44 tonner. The cars were equipment left over from their electric operation. Then that operation ended. This car was bought and located near the end of the railroad. It was to be used as offices for helicopter rides. It never happened and time and the salt finished this car off. It was finally cut up for scrap.
Although the weather is easy on old carbodies that survived Utah’s extensive electric rail system, preservation has not gone well. Most of Utah’s surviving electric cars are in California, and only a few survive there.
