Savage Tooele Railroad Public Information

The Surface Transportation Board (STB) has granted Savage Tooele Railroad Company (STR) the authority to build and operate approximately 11 miles of rail line in Tooele County, Utah, including the rehabilitation of existing track. The STR rail line will connect to Union Pacific Railroad for tenants of the Lakeview Business Park in Grantsville, Utah, linking supply chains and providing an alternative to truck-only transportation with a more environmentally friendly option.

STR is one of the only new railroads approved in the U.S. this year and one of the first railroads owned and operated by a Utah-headquartered company in the state’s history. Savage held a groundbreaking event November 7, 2024 marking the start of construction on Utah’s first new railroad in decades.

Public Open House for STR Rail Crossings Held on August 19

Thanks to everyone who attended Savage Tooele Railroad’s Public Open House on August 19 at the Deseret Peak Complex, in Grantsville, to learn more and provide input about the planned rail crossings on SR 138 and Erda Way. We appreciate being able to meet with members of the Tooele Valley community to discuss the rail crossings and STR rail line. It was helpful to hear from local residents as we continue to make preparations for construction and operation of this short line railroad.
