The Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad was a rail company, established in 1916, that operated a railway between Salt Lake City, Utah and Los Angeles, California and passed through Las Vegas, Nevada. An ice plant ("Ice House") was constructed in Las Vegas, Nevada, along the railway to keep perishable foods cold and operated until 1983. The building was located at 650 South Main Street and was demolished in 1988.
