If I recall correctly, Churchill Moundhouse was built standard gauge during the Tonopah Boom as a new connection to avoid the V&T (1905?), the rest of the former C&C line was converted to standard gauge all the way to Tonopah Junction, around the same time. It was dual gauge south of Mina to Tonopah Junction, which was shared with the standard gauge Tonopah RR.

The SP narrow gauge connected with the SP standard gauge at Mina, and at Owenyo, with the standard gauge Jawbone Branch which connected to Mojave. From the history I've read, I seem to recall that passenger service on the NG ended in the 20's, with "mixed" train passenger service in the caboose/coach offered for a number of years, after that.
