Simon Bamberger conceived the idea of a local railroad between Salt Lake City and Ogden. When the line came to Bountiful in 1892 it became an important factor in the city's growth. For 10¢ residents of Bountiful could now ride to Salt Lake City for an outing, for school or for work. More importantly, raw materials such as coal, lumber, brick and plaster could be shipped in and farm produce shipped out. In 1908 a switch was made from steam to electricity and the line became The Bamberger Railroad, known by the citizens as the Bamberger. Service was discontinued in 1952. The building now occupied by the Bountiful Light & Power Company was used as a warehouse for goods to be shipped. The station itself was immediately in front of this building.
