Cisco, ghost town, in eastern Utah, below I-70.
Total population of 4 with some chickens, electricity is on, no running water. Mail service is continued for a Zip Code, 84515.
The town started in the 1880s as a saloon and water-refilling station for the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad (now Union Pacific). Work crews and, later, travelers came through for stores, hotels and restaurants.
Attained a maximum population of over 200, until a decline began, firstly after the replacement of steam trains by diesel engines in the 1950s, and then when the town was bypassed by Interstate 70 in the 1970s.
White building on the left is the post office.

In the midst of an historic winter, SPMW 4031 spreads along the #1 track of the Roseville Subdivision at Cisco, California. Heavy winter storms dumped over 700 inches of snow across the Sierra Nevada Mountains thus far this season. The onslaught of snow storms kept Union Pacific’s “winter professionals” hard at work.
On March 6th, 2023, Union Pacific called upon the rotary snow plow to clear the #2 track between Fulda and Norden. In conjunction with the rotary, SPMW 4031 ran along the #1 track, spreading snow into the path of the rotary. After a series of delays, the spreaders and rotary finally made it to Cisco just before dark. A full story behind the image is coming up…

A trio of SP AC4400Ws head east through Cisco. After the UP merger it was common to see solid sets of SP ACs on the coal trains. This one seen motoring through Cisco. It looks like the siding is stuffed with autoracks. 7.5.97
