Everything about Nevada And Oregon Railroad totally explained
|hq_city=Reno, Nevada|}}
The
Nevada & Oregon Railroad was an
American narrow gauge railroad that operated from
Reno, Nevada then northeast to the
California state line near present day
Hallelujah Junction. A portion of the route is part of today's
Union Pacific Railroad branch connecting their
Feather River mainline with Reno. The Nevada & Oregon was incorporated on
June 5 1880 and was headquartered at Reno. It was sold to the Moran Brothers, a group of New York investors, at foreclosure in 1884 and operated unofficially as the Nevada and California Railroad. In 1893 the Moran Brothers sold the railroad and it was reorganized as the
Nevada-California-Oregon Railway.
History
Western Nevada Railroad
The railroad traces its history back to
December 12 1879 when the Western Nevada Railroad was incorporated east of Reno at
Wadsworth. The Western Nevada proposed to build from
Walker Lake (near
Hawthorne) to the mining town of
Bodie, California. No tracks were constructed on the line. Within six months the project was abandoned and the Nevada & Oregon Railroad was incorporated in Reno in place of the Western Nevada Railroad.
