Mining Railroads.
Eureka Mill Railroad.
30in Gauge. Short by even shortline standards, this line was built by the Union Mill Co in 1872 due their Eureka Mill being in a location unreachable by the Virginia & Truckee along the Carson River. Initially horse drawn, a Porter 0-4-0T was purchased later. The mill burned down in 1892, leaving the railroad abandoned. Sometime after 1906 the equipment was sold and the 0-4-0T sold to a contractor, wound up abandoned in Butt Lake near Chester, California.
Santiago Canyon to Eureka Mill. 1872 - 1906
Pacific Tungsten Company.
24in Gauge.
Mill City, Pershing County. 1918 - 1947
