Nearest Intersection: N. Lake St.
Quick Description: A marker remembering a significant 'crossroads' railroad depot.
Signed: No -- Historically, this marker was signed. (No signs exist today.)
NOTES: This building is located in a slightly "older" section of Reno. Just recently (late 2007), a chain link fence was erected around this building for its protection. Builders off and on remove the fence, so on your visit, this marker may be a difficult view. Please note that homeless people sometimes use this building as sanctuary. The last time we passed by in 2010, a homeless man was asleep right behind the marker. You've been warned.
Full Description:
This building was constructed as a passenger depot for the Nevada-California-Oregon Railroad, a narrow-gauge line connecting Reno with northern California and southern Oregon.
It began operations in 1882 as the Nevada and California Railroad. Reno was its headquarters with a roundhouse, repair shops, and a storage yard situated at this location. Northward expansion of the line terminated at Lakeview, Oregon, January, 1912.
In 1917, the Western Pacific Railroad purchased the N.C.O. line from Reno to Herlong, California, and standard gauged it. The depot continued to serve the traveling public until 1937.
