LUND AND BERYL

NAME: Lund and Beryl
COUNTY: Iron
ROADS: 2WD
GRID: 1
CLIMATE: Very hot and dry in summer, dry and cold in winter.
BEST TIME TO VISIT: Spring and fall 		COMMENTS: Lund and Beryl are both located about 50 miles west of Cedar City at the base of the Wah Wah Mountains. There are a few current residents (I was told mostly polygamists). In Lund, UT there are 2 pretty new (70s or so) concrete homes that are abandoned. We are guessing they may have been owned by the RR for their employees as they are not for sale and some land and trailers in the area are for sale
REMAINS: Several abandoned buildings and railroad equiptment.
Both Beryl and Lund were railroad towns. They were the main stops for travelers to and from Cedar City before the construction of I-15. Apparently the towns died after the highway was built. I don't know a lot about the history of the area, so if anyone has information to add I would appreciate it. For more pictures of this area and many others, please visit www.dave.crockett.net.

The Lund Garage was owned and built in 1920 by Ollie Marion Norris. Ollie's father and two brothers helped work on the building. Ollie Norris had a homestead at Thermo, Utah from June 1913 until entering the service in 1918. Alexa Robinson


This small picture of Lund was printed in the sky of the first one (Approching Lund). I separated them for email. The original of the two pictures combined is 4.5 in.x 3.44 in. It is glued on page 29 of my Mother's photo album.
