Do you know the difference between a firefighter and a railroad fireman? 🔥🚂

While firefighters address emergencies in our city, railroad firemen controlled the boiler and fuel on a steam engine. It was an important job—second in command to the train engineer. This badge was awarded to I. E. Fowler on Sept. 30, 1923 for his fuel conservation.

A little bit of history -- Ogden has been a sister city to Hof, Germany since 1954.
Our museums were fortunate enough to host a group of university students from Hof.
Despite living in a country where buildings date back to the 1100s, they loved the history behind our Union Station and learning about John M. Browning.
Want to experience a little Hof?
Hof Germanfest is set for January 15&16 at David Eccles Conference Center.

Who was Myra Powell? 🎨

This painting was created by Myra Powell herself! Myra Powell was an Ogden artist who was pivotal in the local art scene for over 50 years.

This is one of her early watercolors, and she later branched into modern art and abstract expressionism.

Today, Union Station's Myra Powell Gallery is named in her honor and our museum holds many of her paintings.

From the vaults ⛏🛤

This common tool is called a spike maul! Union Pacific Railroad left their logo on the handle of this particular tool.

Spike mauls are used to drive spikes into the tracks. The wider portion allows workers to drive spikes easily, and the narrow side accommodates tall rails. Workers stand on the far side of the track to drive the spikes.

Do you know anyone who's used a spike maul?

Who remembers Ogden's Carnegie Library? 📚

The Carnegie Library was located on the corner of 26th and Washington beside the Municipal Building. The entrance read, "In the education of its people lies the safety of the republic." The building was opened in 1903 and funded by philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. Worn out from 66 years of service, the building was razed in 1969.
