Why this spot
1889-1969 railroad construction and farm town
Belmont began in 1889 as a camp for about 200 men digging the Burlington Railroad's Belmont Tunnel and later reached about 80 residents in the late 1920s with two stores, two churches, a lumberyard and a brick school. The Depression, cars and the end of passenger service in 1969 left a small cluster of buildings.View source →
