Caption: Marker detail: C&C Railroad Station
Additional Description: The Dayton Station is one of three C&C depots still in existence. The railroad was originally built to connect the Carson and Colorado Rivers, but the final destination was Keeler, California. In 1900, the Southern Pacific bought the line from D.O. Mills to carry mail between Mound House and Fort Churchill. The train also carried passengers one day a week. In 1905, Southern Pacific converted the narrow-gauge track to a broad-gauge track that extended to Goldfield and Tonopah. Dayton residents were saddened when the station closed in 1934.
