Lake Tahoe Railway and Transportation Company

The Lake Tahoe Railway and Transportation Company was a 16-mile (26 km), 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge railroad that ran from the Central Pacific Railway at Truckee, California to the waterfront at Lake Tahoe.

The railroad's width was converted to 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm) standard gauge in 1926.

The Lake Tahoe Railway and Transportation Company operated a narrow gauge railroad between Truckee and Lake Tahoe, California assembled from equipment formerly used on the Lake Tahoe Railroad of Glenbrook, Nevada (USA).

A separate company known as the Lake Tahoe Railway (c. 1904) proposed to build a 65-mile (105 km) standard gauge line northeast from Placerville to Pino Grande and then Lake Tahoe but construction never commenced.
