Death Valley Railroad

One train ran per day bringing food and water to the workers at the Ryan mine, and bought ore back late in the afternoon.

2 also worked for the United States Potash Railroad, but she was bought by the Death Valley National Park and is now currently at the Borax Museum at Furnace Creek.

A railcar was bought in the later years of the line in 1928, when Pacific Coast Borax attempted to save their dying railroads, DVRR included, from the scrapheap by promoting them as tourist attractions.

By 1967, it was worn out, but the Laws Rail Museum of Bishop, California managed to step in just in time to save it from scrap.

The old Heisler locomotive "Francis" formerly from the Borate and Daggett Railroad, saw some years of service on the DVRR after construction was completed, that is until the arrival of Baldwin #2 in 1916.
