Transportation

Ogden is located on U.S. Route 30. The original Lincoln Highway (Walnut St.) ran through the center of town, but a new four-lane highway was built in 1965 [13] that bypassed Ogden immediately south of town. The original pour for Hwy 30 was resurfaced in Ogden's business district. One notable aspect are the footprints in the cement that were evident towards the western edge of the business district - Walnut & 6th St. - where they crossed the roadway. A section, which features the footprints, was removed prior to the resurfacing work and are preserved in downtown Ogden [14] U.S. Route 169 (First St.) intersected with Hwy 30 at Walnut St. until Hwy 30 was relocated south of town. The presence of these two main routes benefitted Ogden's businesses which thrived from all the traffic these two roadways brought through the town.

The east/west line of the former Chicago & North Western railroad (a key link between Chicago and the western US [15] ) - now Union Pacific - ran through town parallel to U.S. 30. A depot was maintained in Ogden when the C&NW provided passenger service prior to 1956 along that line. [16] The C&NW merged with the Union Pacific in 1995. Railway Express Agency had an office in the depot which brought freight and parcel services to Ogden also.
