	On June 8, 1886 a new company, the Colusa & Lake Railroad was incorporated to build the extension west into the Antelope valley. Later that month the Colusa Railroad ordered their second locomotive, a 4-4-0 from the [[Baldwin Locomotive Works]] named '' “Harrington” ''. Construction of the line continued through the summer and Sites was reached on September 29, 1886. The Colusa Railroad and Colusa & Lake Railroad were consolidated on November 27th under the name Colusa & Lake Railroad. On December 18th the railroad officially opened for service to Sites with free excursions from Colusa to Sites.

	Initially the railroad's primary focus was the passenger service from Colusa Junction to Colusa. When the route opened as far as Sites, tourists headed for Lake County became an important source of revenue. In April 1887 the Railway Mail Service Superintendent inspector toured the line and soon afterward the railroad was given a mail contract from Colusa Junction to Sites.<ref>7.
