Sierra Valley & Mohawk Railway

The Sierra Valley & Mohawk Railway was a narrow gauge railway in Northern California. The Sierra Valley & Mohawk was established in 1885. The railway ran from Mohawk, near Blairsden to Plumas Junction (modern day Hallelujah Junction), crossing over Beckwourth Pass where it would connect with the Nevada–California–Oregon Railway. The railroad was later renamed to just the Sierra Valley Railroad. The Sierra Valley Railroad would later become under control of the NCO in 1900 and later be absorbed by the NCO in 1915. The Western Pacific Railroad would later purchase the NCO and build their own Feather River Route through much of the same location in the area, including building a tunnel to go through Beckwourth Pass.[1]
