Carbon County Railway served two massive coal mines in Utah. Much of the coal went for making coke to feed the furnaces of the steel mill that owned the railroad. However, the output of the mines far exceeded what the mill could use and the extra coal moved to industries in other states and even moved to the coast for export. The CBC freight car fleet consisted of 500 hoppers and a single gondola. Carbon County Railway closed up in 1983. This roadname will be available in 3 road numbers.
