01
Artifact Overview
Central Pacific Railroad construction crews reached Nevada's Palisade Canyon in 1868. The canyon, formed by the Humboldt River, provided a pathway for the railroad's eastward push to Utah. The community of Palisade, located within the canyon, became a busy transfer point between the Central Pacific and smaller railroads serving area mining camps.
