Nevada Central Railroad

I believe this railroad started as a Narrow Guage 3.0 feet. The table lists the railraod as Standard Gauge 4 feet 8.5 inch. I do not know if the railroad ever went to standard gauge, but I would think that the history description should comment on this if it did change. In any case, I would think the table should indicate Narrow Gauge. Don Heflinger HDonHH1 16:03, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was indeed narrow gauge, according to both the Myrick book and Hilton's American Narrow Gauge Railroads. I've corrected the infobox. Pitamakan 23:42, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Nevada Central Railroad/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

I noticed that the Nevada Central Railroad that is identified as operating from 1879 to 1938 is listed in the table as being standard gauge 4' 8 1/2". I beleive that this must be an error, for I believe this railroad began operation as narrow gauge 3' 0". This is consistant with originally supporting Ward Kimball's Emma locomotive, which correctly identified as narrow gauge 3' 0",. Ward used this engine to pull the Carson and Colorado coach No 5, which is also narrow gauge 3' 0". There are also photographs of the Neveda Central Railroad showing narrow gauge Carter Brothers built combination cars and and some box cars that were obtained second hand from the South Pacific Coast Railroad, which was also a narrow gauge 3' 0".
