Talk:Lucin, Utah

Close paraphrasing issue in Lucin, Utah
From Editor assistance/Requests:

"Lucin, Utah currently reads:

'Lucin is currently a ghost town. It consists of a pond fed from a four-inch pipe that brings water from the nearby Pilot Range, a group of trees in an otherwise barren desert, two cylindrically-shaped cast concrete phone booths with wooden shelves and wiring, a rusty ice box, and several community root cellars equipped with electric wiring. Scavengers can find metal pins, nails, spikes, hinges, and small pieces of laminated marble. There are no remaining buildings. The original grading of the railroad can be found heading northeast toward Promontory, Utah and the Golden Spike National Historic Site.'

This site says:

'Today Lucin is somewhat of an "oasis in the desert". Approaching the area from highway 30 to the north one can see a clump of lush green trees about 3 miles to the south/southwest. A small (4 inch) pipe originating in the Pilot Mountain Range to the southwest, supplies water to the area. Originally the ponds served as reservoirs for the trains water needs.

Other than the pond and clump of trees one can see two cement-cast telephone booths complete with wooden shelves and wiring, an old rusty ice box, and several community root celars also equiped with electrical wiring. Other items to be found include various metal pins, nails, spikes, hinges, even some small pieces of laminated marble, etc. No building structures remain at the site.'

The article never provides a link to the site above, yet it closely paraphrases the site without providing credit."
