• Posted @withregram • @hebervalleyrailroad 🚂 Ready for a little railroad #tbt🔙 history? ⁣ ⁣ 🚂 Yosemite Lumber Company Shay No. 4 locomotive was purchased by the Heber Valley Railroad in the early 1970's after being discovered in a CA scrap yard. No. 4 was a logging engine but during WWII was headed to the scrap yard to be melted down to help with the metal shortage. Luck was on her side, No. 4 survived the war but sat at the scrap yard, under a mountain of old tires until discovery in the early 1970's. Heber Valley Railroad needed an engine for its tourist railroad and No. 4 found a new home. The Shay carried passengers for the Heber Valley Railroad until 1989 and was then sold to the Nevada State Railroad Museum. Currently No. 4 resides back home in California. #preservingrailroadhistory #railhistory #steamhistory #steamlocomotive

  • @historichebercity The Austin-Wherritt House c.1903. This elaborate home was originally built for John Ezra and Sarah (Sadie) Austin by local stonemason Herbert Clegg. The beautiful sandstone home was one of the finest homes in the city. John Austin moved to Heber City in 1893 and became a very successful livestock dealer and rancher. The Austin family only lived in the home a few years before leaving to pursue further livestock business in Wyoming. In 1908 the town doctor William Russell Wherritt and his wife Emma purchased the home for their family. Dr. Wherritt was well known and respected for the 49 years he worked as a physician in Heber City. Many of those years he was the only doctor in town and was always available for the community. He served as the quarantine physician for many years as well as the railroad doctor. He had an office in his home, but most often would make house calls. His wife Emma was also very involved in community affairs and was chosen Utah “mother of the year” in 1961. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 and still remains in the Wherritt family. It remains very much the same and has been meticulously cared for by the members of the family.
