Birth on a Pullman train near Sierra Nevada found in Sacramento
A Reno to Sacramento passenger gave birth aboard the Westbound express through snow sheds. The mother Mrs J Lewis, aided by fellow travelers and a doctor, delivered a baby boy en route and was taken to friends in Sacramento after arrival at 5 50 am. A notes table lists regional elevations from Pyramid City to Mt. Rose and beyond with several peaks over 8 000 feet.
