Beginning in 2022, individuals and members of several organizations in Dunlap sparked a fresh interest in the community's oldest entity, the railroad. Boyer Valley FFA students worked with shovels to pull accumulated dirt and debris away from the steps. Several community members donated split perennials; day lilies and sedums, and the FFA students partnered with the Dunlap Flower Club to plant and water them. Additionally, Dunlap City Foreman, Tony Warnock, removed the wobbly railing and commissioned the removal of an obsolete electric pole that partially-obscured the view of the railroad and rolling hills. As time went on, the project began to garner public attention. Many Dunlap residents were surprised to see the concrete benches on the sides of the stairway as these benches had been overgrown for many years.
