This day in Railroad History
February 16, 1899
The Sierra Railway completed its line from Oakdale, California to Sonora today. By February 1900, the end of the main line at Jamestown was completed with a depot located only a few hundred yards from the new mill of the West Side Flume and Lumber Company. The West Side Lumber mill at Tuolumne and the mountain mills of Standard Lumber Company furnished the largest source of revenue for the Sierra. The Standard Lumber Company’s Sugar Pine Railroad and the West Side Lumber Company’s West Side Lumber Railroad fed the Sierra Railway. The Sierra Railway connected directly to Santa Fe and Southern Pacific railroads in Oakdale, providing access to the national rail network.
