The Dayton, Sutro and Carson Valley Railroad
Wednesday, November 6, 2019 1:00 AM
The Dayton, Sutro & Carson Valley Railroad was a historic short line mining railroad that ran in the Dayton Valley in the late 1800s.
The railroad was built to efficiently move ore from tailing piles in the foothills to a company stamp mill in Dayton. It started as a horse-drawn railway, then later upgraded to steam locomotives, although its roster of equipment was always quite small. It shut down around the year 1900, after 30 years of operation.
While the name may seem misleading today, in the 19th century, "Carson Valley" referred to the Carson River valleys and canyons extending all the way from today's Carson Valley in Douglas County through Churchill Canyon east of Dayton. From humble beginnings, the Dayton, Sutro & Carson Valley Railroad eventually went from old town Dayton to the Carson Valley Mill, which was located in Dayton Valley in the vicinity of the present-day Mark Twain neighborhood.
