New Rail Preservation Society dedicated to NCO Ry!
| October 05, 2020 11:04PM |
It is with great pleasure that we announce the newest railroad preservation society in the western states: the Nevada-California-Oregon Railway. As an historical society, we are dedicated to preserving the legacy of the three-foot narrow gauge railway that ran from Reno, Nevada to Lakeview, Oregon and through Sierra Valley to Clio.
Our focus on this 50 year narrative of the region’s history will allow us to go deeper into the records of one of the longest narrow gauge railroads in the country. We are excited to pick up and continue the work of historians David Myrick and Tom Armstrong. Using their research as a foundation to build from, we will look into the lives of those who helped build the railroad and explore the communities the N-C-O Ry. connected to the world by rail.
Please visit our website at [www.ncory.org]. You can subscribe to our e-blast list to get updates and information. There is some big news coming this Friday!
Also check us out on Facebook: [www.facebook.com]
Thank you for your interest in the NCO Ry!
