Why this spot

1869-1904 railroad division town, branchline to 1942

Founded in April 1869 as a Central Pacific division point with a 16-stall roundhouse and switchyard, it may have reached 1,000 people including many Chinese workers. The 1904 Lucin Cutoff bypassed it, the division moved to Montello, and the line was abandoned in 1942.View source →
