This book was released on 2016-11-02 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It seems to me I've either built this line 300 miles too long, or 300 years to soon."The Carson and Colorado Railroad, dubbed the "Slim Princess," due to the mere 36" span of its rails, was conceived and funded by Darius O. Mills, a New York financier with a penchant for railroads. Construction of this narrow-gauge line began at Mound House, Nevada, on May 31, 1880, and ended at Keeler, California, on August 1, 1883. Faced with sweltering heat during an inspection tour that same month, Mills lost his enthusiasm for his project. The C & C ran for 77 years, connecting mining camps and small towns on the eastern side of Owens Valley in Inyo County, on into Mono County, and across the California state line into Nevada.Although some of the stops along the route through Owens Valley are still populated today, others are names known only to history enthusiasts. At one time or another during its 77 years of operations-whether under the original name, Carson & Colorado, or the Southern Pacific in later years-the following California communities were stations along the line: Keeler, the southernmost station-with a population today of about 70 people-Tramway, Owenyo, Manzanar-site of a Japanese relocation camp during WW II-Kearsarge, Aberdeen (formerly Tibbets), Monola (formerly Alvord), Zurich, Bigelow, Laws, Lone Pine, Cartago, Olancha, Loco, Little Lake, Brown, Inyokern, Code, Searles, Rand, Garlock, Ceneda, Cantil, Neuralia, Chaffee, Mojave, Piute, Hammill, and Benton. Additionally, the railroad serviced Queen, Summit, Basalt, Candelaria, Belleville, Rhodes, Sodaville, Mina, Luning, Kincade, Hawthorne, Thorne, Walker, Gillis, Schurz, Rio Vista, Wabuska, Churchill, Dayton, and Mound House in Nevada. Using original photos taken from the late 1940s through today, From Keeler to Laws, a historic journey in pictures and words, looks at the portion of the line that ran through the Owens Valley. It visits the southern terminus, Keeler, then progresses north, with a side trip to Cerro Gordo, one the richest mine sites in the area, then through Owenyo, Kearsarge, and Zurich, finally ending at the northern terminus, Laws. Also included are numerous, original articles and newspaper clippings from the 1950s that give the reader a glimpse into a world most have forgotten. This book is a must for the libraries of railroad enthusiasts and armchair historians alike.
Download or read book Southern Pacific s Slim Princess written by Andrew Brandon and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2022-10-10 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For 60 years, the Southern Pacific's Slim Princess served as the lifeline to remote areas of western Nevada and eastern California. In 1880, the financiers of the Virginia & Truckee Railroad organized the Carson & Colorado Railroad to build a narrow-gauge line from the Carson River to the Colorado River, but that dream was never fully realized. In 1900, the Southern Pacific Railroad purchased the 300-mile line, envisioning it as a shortcut from Nevada to Southern California. The northern half of the line was converted to standard gauge in 1905. The section from Mina, Nevada, to Keeler, California, remained an isolated and celebrated part of the Southern Pacific until it succumbed to the scrapper's torch in 1960. Author Andrew Brandon has over 30 years of extensive study in railroad history and involvement with noteworthy projects in the railroad preservation community. Since 2001, he has been involved with the Nevada County Narrow Gauge Railroad Museum in Nevada City, where he currently serves as the curator. Brandon also serves on board of directors for the Southern Pacific Narrow Gauge Historical Society and the Nevada-California-Oregon Railway. In 2009, he helped establish PacificNG.org--a website dedicated to researching narrow-gauge railroads around the Pacific Rim.
