The property was operated by the Denver and Rio Grande under agreement from the date the first section of road was opened for operation, August 14, 1914, to December 1, 1917. From that date to date of valuation the property has been operated by the carrier's own organization.

The carrier was incorporated January 24, 1912, under the general laws of Utah, originally as the Utah Coal Railway Company, for the purpose of constructing and operating a railroad from Mohrland and Hiawatha, Utah, to a connection with the road of the Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad Company near Spanish Fork, Utah. By an amendment to its charter, May 4, 1912, the name of the carrier was changed to Utah Railway Company. The date of organization was January 24, 1912.
