Truckee Timber Railroad Plan Links North to Sierra Valley
The Republican notes a proposed railroad from Truckee to Sierra Valley with a future northward spur to tap eastern timber belts. Engineer Geo H Colby completes a preliminary survey from Truckee to Banner Mill fourteen miles out. A single gauge Pyra mid Road could cost about 3,500 per mile and move freight like a barrow gauge, needing little grading. The plan aims to connect Truckee to vast timber resources, boosting local business and positioning Reno as the market outlet if a broad gauge is pursued.
