When Layton City considered two different railroad overpasses

LAYTON City has one railroad overpass, on the Layton Parkway. A second one is just outside the City's boundaries on Antelope Drive.
However, over the decades the Layton City Council has considered at least two other locations for possible railroad overpasses.
The first time was at the end of 1940. According to the Weekly Reflex newspaper of Dec. 6 that year, "Study to be made at crossing of U.P. Railroad" was the headline.
"The hazard in question is the railway crossing on Gentile Street," the story stated, "one of the heaviest traveled thorofares in Layton, at which point it is hoped either and overpass or an underpass will be constructed."
The possibility was studied, but obviously no overpass was ever built.
At another time in the early 2000s, the Layton City Council briefly discussed building an overpass on 2200 West over the tracks. That was considered the only place in town where it was financially feasible for an overpass. However, the close proximity to the Antelope Drive overpass, less than 1/2 mile away made that seem a waste of resources and no action was taken.
