FROM GOOGLE...TheCarson and Colorado Railwaywas a U.S.3ft(914mm)narrow gaugerailroad that ran fromMound House,Nevada, toKeeler,California, below theCerro Gordo Mines. It was incorporated on May 10, 1880, as the Carson and ColoradoRailroad, and construction on the railroad began on May 31, 1880. The narrow gauge track was chosen to reduce cost. Much of the route now parallelsU.S. Route 95 Alternate,U.S. Route 95,Nevada State Route 360,U.S. Route 6, andU.S. Route 395. The Carson and Colorado began operations with a singleBaldwin4-4-0, theCandelaria. The first train arrived at Keeler on August 1, 1883. The 300-mile (480km) route reached an altitude of 7,100 feet (2,200m) inMontgomery Pass. The railroad served an area heavily dependent on mineral resources for economic activity. The line was reorganized as the Carson and ColoradoRailwayin 1892 to reduce accumulated debt. From its inception, the Carson and Colorado was a hindrance to theVirginia and Truckee Railroad(V&T), the parent company of the C&C, who sold the line to theSouthern Pacific Companyin 1900.
