Tie Hacker Commissary

Long abandoned historic Tie Hacker Camp in the High Uintas. Tie hackers in this area were an important part of the building of the coast to coast railroad. Tie Hackers cut railroad ties from the lodge pole and other pine and fur trees in the Utinas and hauled them to the construction sights where the railroad was being built. Both the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific used ties harvested and shaped from this area.
