Notes
The Carson and Colorado Railroad was incorporated in 1880 mainly to service the mines of the California/Nevada desert region. This narrow gauge railroad ran from Mound House, Nevada to Keeler, California.
The Carson and Colorado was owned by the Virginia and Truckee Railroad and was later sold to Southern Pacific in 1900.
This lock is not marked by a manufacturer, but is most likely a lock manufactured by Dayton Manufacturing, consistent with other similar period locks from the region. There are maybe 3 to 4 examples of this lock known and is verified to be from the Carson and Colorado, as examples have been dug and found along the right-of-way.
This lock is not to be confused with a lock marked “C & C Ry. Co,” for the Coal and Coke Railway Company.
