Nye County Faces Loss as Bullfrog Goldfield Line Goes Quiet
The Bullfrog and Goldfield railroad plans to remove rails and exit, threatening Nye County tax revenue and forcing routing changes via Sacramento if post office links with Union Pacific are not established. Once a busy mine era line, service now drops to three trains weekly, with Interstate Commerce Commission review urged due to unprofitable operations. Public notices include land filings in Nevada and final distribution hearings in Clark County court.
