Uinta Basin Railway Project
Withdrawal of the Forest Service (FS) decision on this project on 1/17/2024 was in response to a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The FS decision would have authorized 12 miles of the railway across NFS lands.
Location Summary
The preferred route would travel from Kyune, UT to Myton, UT, passing south of Duchesne, UT, along Indian Canyon. About 12 miles of the route would be located on FS lands.
District: Duchesne Ranger District
