Ethel Shafer Holmberg at the Old Red Hefer — Where Trains and Neighbors Met

Ethel Shafer Holmberg with her sons Wayne and Chester at the Orem Station in Granger


Taken in the about 1918 , this treasured image captures Ethel at a familiar Granger landmark.

The train was once affectionately known as “The Old Red Hefer.” The photo reflects the heart of local life—simple, hardworking families gathered near the tracks, where trains and friendships crossed paths daily.
