Utah's train was housed at the state's Capitol in Salt Lake City until a group from Ogden's American Legion requested to move the boxcar to the city's Union Station and make much needed repairs. Byron Lewis, Chairman of Ogden's Merci Boxcar organization, talks about the significance of the boxcar and explains why it's important to preserve its history.
