Lucin, Utah
Lucin (also known as Umbria Junction) is an abandoned railroad community in Box Elder County, Utah, United States, along the western side of the Great Salt Lake, northwest of Salt Lake City. == History == Lucin was founded in the late 19th century, about north of its current location, to provide a water stop for railroads to replenish their steam locomotives. The town was moved in 1903 to serve as a stop for the Lucin Cutoff. Historically, the town’s population consisted mainly of employees of the Central and Southern Pacific Railroads. In 1936 the town was abandoned, and then resettled by a group of retired railroad workers and their children. No one had lived in Lucin until 1997 when Ivo Zdarsky, manufacturer of the Ivoprop, a plane propeller, bought it and moved there, although the area is managed for migrating songbirds and other wildlife by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. The town was named for a local fossil bivalve, the ''Lucina subanta''.〔(Utah History to Go )〕
