From 1868 1869 a population of hundreds dug the 772-foot (235 m) Echo tunnel through the Wasatch Mountains just west of town. Wahsatch soon became a major supply station and railhead, with its own roundhouse, workshops, boarding houses, and warehouses. When the transcontinental railroad was finished in May 1869, a meal station for waiting passengers was established here.
