}}Low is a ghost town in northern Tooele County, Utah, United States.[1]

Low was established in 1880 as a construction and maintenance camp on a siding of the Western Pacific Railroad.

The name "Low" may have derived from its location on a low pass between the Cedar Mountains to the south, and the Grassy Mountains to the north.

Local water was unavailable so the camp was abandoned in 1955. A scattering of ruins remain.[2]

The Low Flight Strip is an abandoned military airfield located approximately {{convert|13|mi|km}} west of Low.

Interstate 80 runs west of low, and Exit 60 is known as "Low Interchange".

The "Low Transportation Corridor" or "Low Rail Corridor" both refer to a proposed rail line to carry spent nuclear fuel from the Union Pacific mainline at the junction of Interstate 80 near the Low Interchange, to the Skull Valley Indian Reservation, across {{convert|1593|acre}} of Bureau of Land Management land within the Skull Valley.[3][4]
