Item Description
Approximately 8.5" x 5.5"This Wells Fargo freight receipt documents the shipment of a "box" between Big Pine, California, and Tonopah, Nevada in April of 1907.
By the time of the shipment, Wells Fargo was using railroads to transport most, if not all, of its shipments. This box was likely carried by the Carson & Colorado Railway, a narrow-gauge line affiliated with the Virginia and Truckee Railroad. In the 1880s, the V&T had decided to create a branch railway from Carson City to reach mining deposits to the south. The line has stations at Zurich, California (the station that served Big Pine) and Tonopah.
In nice shape.
