I don't think this West End 2-footer had a name. There was another NG rail line at the Trona chemical plant to the north of West End. It was called the Mexican Central and ran from the plant out onto the dry lake. I'm not sure if it was 2-foot.

Nothing is left of either line.

Searles Valley Historical Society has a collection of photos and documents of the various industrial operations in and around Trona and West End.

BTW, there was also a mono rail that ran east from the Trona Railroad.
Myrick covers this in RR's of Nevada.
