Inscription. By 1910, Orem was a prosperous agricultural community, exporting fruit and vegetables throughout the state. A railroad station and produce packing sheds were constructed here after the completion of the Orem line of the Salt Lake and Utah Railroad in 1913. The depot was used both for passengers and freight shipments. Use of the railroad line declined in the 1930's but continued on a limited basis until the 1960's
