While these books are invaluable references for understanding railroad operations in the region, their scope extends far beyond, offering a detailed account of the area's history. They meticulously document the principal mines and mills, their production, and the influential personalities behind their development. This final volume in the complete series on Nevada and Eastern California railroads, authored by David Myrick, stands as a monumental work that has become an essential resource for railroaders, historians, and hobbyists alike. It provides in-depth insights into the northern roads, including some that were not covered in previous volumes, as well as developments that have occurred since the publication of the first two books. Volume III offers new factual information, including details gleaned from the correspondence of Collis P. Huntington, one of the key figures in the construction of the Central Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads. The book also explores railroads connected with the lumber industry and the construction of electric power plants. Additionally, it covers Southern Pacific branch lines, including some that never advanced beyond survey stages, providing a comprehensive view of the region’s railroad development.
