History
Webster Junction was created for the original Sugar Factory located just across Highway 91 in Lewiston, Utah. Burrett Peel Swendsen was called to be the station agent and did so up until his death in 1918. His wife, Florence Andromeda Detton, took over as station agent soon after. She continued to do so until 1920 or 1921, when the station was closed. The building was torn down sometime in the 1930s.
"Guy Swendsen of Lewiston, with dog on 'Webster Spur' station platform in 1915. Sign reads 'To Cache Jct 41 3/4 M, Elevation 4500 feet."
