"Car Lines to be Segregated," Salt Lake Tribune, 1919
Salt Lake Tribune; Salt Lake City, Utah; Ogden, Utah; Utah-Idaho Central Railroad; U.I.C.; Streetcar; Trolley; Streetcar Service; Company Segregation
While the U.I.C. abandoned its streetcar services in Brigham City and Logan, in Ogden the lines were sold off to a new company who continued to maintain and operate them: the Utah Rapid Transit Company. This was done to simplify the processes of both companies and allow the railroad to grow and develop separately from the streetcar services. Many hoped that this might improve the financial situation of the U.I.C.

"Brigham City Car Service Discontinued," Salt Lake Tribune, 1919
Salt Lake Tribune; Salt Lake City, Utah; Brigham City, Utah; Utah-Idaho Central Railroad; U.I.C.; Streetcar; Trolley; Streetcar Service; Streetcar Abandonment
The first services abandoned by the U.I.C. were the streetcar services that it offered in Logan, Brigham City, and Ogden. The Salt Lake Tribune reported in this article from August 21, 1919 that the Brigham City streetcar service would officially be discontinued. The U.I.C. had hoped that the service would grow with the city and provide revenue, but it only added to growing deficits.
