Lund and Beryl, UT


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. 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.  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.



REMAINS: Several abandoned buildings and railroad equipment.

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.
