Additional Description: This C&C Railroad derrick at the station yard had the power to lift heavy machinery from railroad cars onto horse-drawn wagons for hauling to mining and ranching locations such as Como and the Sutro Tunnel (located two miles north of Dayton). Train spurs built off the main C&C track hauled materials directly to major mill sites.
