Additional Description: In 1886-87 the Southern Pacific Railroad put a line north from Redding into Oregon, mainly following the California -Oregon trail. Dunsmuir, originally called "Pusher", became an important station on the route because north-bound trains would add extra engines here to help push them up the grade.
