Owenyo, the hub of the narrow-gauge after 1938. As a result of the standard gauge “Jawbone” branch construction in 1908, the town of Owenyo sprang up out of the sage brush. Owenyo had numerous interesting features, the transfer trestle, boxcar depot, hotel – rumor has it that it was a Howard Johnson’s – and car repair facility. Today not much remains but foundations and memories, however it’s one of the easier to access sites along the narrow-gauge and worth an occasional visit.
