Clearly, Peerless was once a thriving town. It has several grain elevators. A big restaurant. Churches. A good size school. The problem is that when I was there most of those things seemed empty--abandoned, even. The church was overgrown. The school was clearly empty at a time when school should still have been in session. One of the elevators is falling down (though the others seem used). The big restaurant was listed for sale and seemed totally devoid of life. And there were far more abandoned homes than ones that are lived in. Peerless was very very quiet. I had to wonder what happened here, that so many people left? This place used to have plenty of amenities. But when I was there the only activity I saw was a tumbleweed blowing across main street.
"Peerless was originally a development of the Great Northern Railroad. It appears that Peerless once went by the name of Tande or Battleson, but because of the popularity of a local beer the name was changed to Peerless...Dutch Henry's Bar...is a namesake of an outlaw who roamed these parts in the late 1800s. A display of photos on the walls tells quite a bit about the history of the surrounding area. The original town, settled in 1914, was a few miles away. Like many other places in northeast Montana, the laying of the railroad bed required the town to be moved to the railroad." -travelmt.com

One of my winter projects was updating the track configuration of my HO layout. Now, General Iron and Peerless are serviced by CP Rail/Chicago Terminal on an entirely separate track segment from the UP-served industries.
Pictured here, Chicago Terminal's SW8 switches out an airslide hopper for a tank car full of corn syrup at Peerless Confection on Lakewood Ave.
Eventually, this track will be paved into a "street running" section, and the temporary paper Peerless building will be replaced with a more permanent structure.

Ghost town visits in Nov. 2017.
Peerless, Utah
According to ghosttowns.com this is a 'true ghost' town. We couldn't see anything.
[In fact, this town's name doesn't even register on many maps! The gps coordinates are: 39.69314166666666, -110.9087000000000.] There is no one really out here. Half paved roads, a little spooky!!
The website says this about the history of Peerless:
"Around 1917 the Peerless coal company bought this sight and the town of Peerless soon sprang up. The population was around 300. The mine closed in 1955 and the town soon died."
The website entry is from 1996, so we are here 20 years later! We did see a bike trail (this is along Spring Canyon Road). When I looked up the bike trail, I don't find much information. I found a hiking trail listed. Not sure if they are connected.
**Note in many ghost towns there are signs that say no trespassing and/or these lands have been bought by an individual or company, so it's better not to get caught roaming on them.
