Nevada–California–Oregon Railway defunct American narrow gauge railway

The Nevada–California–Oregon Railway was a 3 ft narrow gauge railroad originally planned to connect Reno, Nevada, to the Columbia River. However, only 238 mi (383 km) of track were laid so service never extended beyond Lakeview, Oregon. Because of the company’s reputation for mismanagement, it was often called the "Narrow, Crooked & Ornery" railroad.

The Chat post office operated from 1885 to 1894, and from 1896 to 1900. [2] The name is of Native American origin. [2]
