This 30’ reefer is painted box car red with reefer yellow sides and ran on black Bettendorf trucks. The railroad was organized in Reno in June 1880 as the Nevada and Oregon Railroad. The plan was to build just north of Reno, Nevada to the Columbia River to service cattle ranches and farms in northeastern California and eastern Oregon. By January of 1912, the troubled railway had only reached as far into Oregon as Lakeview, never to go any further. In 1917 the railroad started to sell off some of its line and by 1925 was primarily owned by the Southern Pacific, who converted most of the line to standard gauge and sent what narrow gauge equipment they acquired in the agreement south to their existing narrow gauge line. By 1929 the N.C.O. reporting marks had been replaced.
