The line was projected to connect to the Colorado river, a feat it never accomplished, ending construction in Hawley, CA (later called Keeler). The line remained barely profitable until it was finally sold to the Southern Pacific in 1900, becoming the Nevada & California RR in 1905.		'''[[:Category:36in Gauge Railroads\|36in Gauge]].'''

 '''[[:Category:36in Gauge Railroads|36in Gauge]].''' Built to connect the booming mining district around Eureka with the Central Pacific at Palisade. Initially successful, the boom ended in 1885 and the smelters closed in 1890. An upswing in mining activity around 1900 revived the line briefly, until it the line was severely damaged by floods in 1910. The line was sold at auction and revived as the Eureka – Nevada Railway in 1912.

Initially profitable, the Nevada Central relied upon the mining in the area for traffic, profitable only when mines were operating at capacity. Mining tapered off by the early 1900s and the line hauled local goods until 1938.
