THE WARNER CHILDREN'S FAVORITE RIDING PONY One of my fondest memories of growing up in Mountain Green was during the Sumner of 1925, or the year the Union Pacific built it's double track from Gateway to Omaha. Previous to that time there had been only a single track for that stretch from Ogden through Uintah to Gateway. Construction was done mostly by horse and manpower. There were a few pieces of mechanical equipment such as a power shovel. Most of the material was brought in by long work trains which deposited gravel or other material alongside the track. It was then moved by horse-drawn two-wheel carryall type scrapers to the prop¬er location. There were also three-horse fresino-type scrapers being used. I would ride my saddle horse alongside the right-of-way to see what was going on. There were so many men and horses that it reminded me of thousands of ants on an ant hill. Some of the material was brought in by work trains from the Strawberry gravel pit. These trains were loaded by huge steam shovels whose hisses, grunts and gro¬ans could be heard for miles around. 100
