1 Shortest train track in the country? How about the 4.5 miles Strasburg?
2 SP passenger service from Fallon to Westwood via Clear Creek junction? Where do we start with this one. SP passenger service from Reno via FERNELY to Westwood where SP ended. Not Clear Creek.
3 The electric train ran 13 miles, even further to childes meadow then a separate engine took the train from Clear Creek junction? The Collin Pines electric operation ran from Chester to Westwood directly to the mill. Loades from childes meadow and beyond were hauled to Chester by an Ingersol rand 1926 diesel to avoid sparks in the woods.
