Salmon Creek Railroad, Heritage railway in Fallon, Nevada, US
The Salmon Creek Railroad extends for 500 feet through Fallon, featuring narrow-gauge tracks measuring 914 millimeters in width for specialized transportation purposes.
Jim Walsh established this railroad in Golden Valley and obtained steam locomotives from Alaska, including the H.K. Porter locomotive Seward manufactured in 1892.
The railroad preserves the industrial legacy of mining operations and transportation methods that shaped Nevada's development during the late nineteenth century.
Visitors can observe occasional demonstrations of restored locomotives at the Nevada State Railroad Museum, which maintains these historical transportation artifacts.
The H.K. Porter steam locomotive named Seward served the Berner's Bay Mining & Manufacturing Company before its transfer to the Salmon Creek Dam Railroad.
