Laws Station

(near Carson City, Nevada) through Laws to Keeler, California, a distance
of 300 miles. Laws Station was named in honor of Mr. R. J. Laws, Assistant Superintendent of the railroad. Between 1883 and about 1915, this railroad
provided the only dependable means of transportation in and out of Owens Valley. Train service was stopped on April 30, 1960.
