"Almost all that remains of a town dedicated to supporting the First Transcontinental Railroad.

Established in 1869, Terrace served as a division point on the First Transcontinental Railroad. The town met its demise in 1904 when the Southern Pacific Railroad was completed, bypassing Terrace and moving the division point 40 miles west to Montello, Nevada. Many of the buildings in Terrace were moved to Montello; however, the Terrace cemetery remains. along with old railroad ties and some foundations.

"In 1904 the Southern Pacific Railroad, successor to the Central Pacific, completed the Lucin Cutoff across the Great Salt Lake. The new route bypassed Terrace, and the tracks through town became a little-used branchline. The railroad closed its facilities at Terrace, moving the division point to Montello, Nevada, about 40 miles (64 km) to the west–southwest. The railroad line through Terrace was finally abandoned in 1942. Many of Terrace's houses and buildings were moved to Montello. The cemetery still remains with only three headstones, and only a pile of red bricks and the outline of the turntable is next to the old railroad bed.

The tracks along the grade were removed in 1942.
