Talk:Nevada Central Railroad/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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".
