HistoryThe line was originally part of the narrow gauge Nevada–California–Oregon Railway (NCO) and was constructed around 1908. In 1926 the NCO became an operating subsidiary of the Southern Pacific Railroad (SP). By 1929 the NCO was entirely operated by the SP. In March 1985 the SP filed to abandon the line and the abandonment was approved 5 months later. The county stepped in to save the route, vital to local businesses and the state legislature enacted a law permitting local governments to own railroads outside of the state, and then the Oregon State Lottery agreed to fund up to 85% of the purchase price if the county could find an operator. The county went to work, and the Great Western Railway, an established shortline based out of Colorado, agreed to operate the line on a contract basis.[1] Lake County purchased the line from SP on January 18, 1986, to keep the line open. The LCR began operations on November 1, 1997, when it took over the {{convert|54.45|mi|km}} formerly operated by the Great Western Railway of Colorado under contract. The county operated the rail line on precarious financial footing with frequent derailments and grants needed for maintenance funding. The line was leased in 2005 to the Modoc Northern Railroad [1]. During the Modoc Northern years, a lot of investment was made in rail infrastructure to shore up the line and try to eliminate the frequent derailments that plagued the route, but train speed was still limited to 10 mph (16 km/h) for most of the line. Following the Modoc Northern's failure in 2009, Lake County contracted with Frontier Rail, who is now operating the Lake County line from Lakeview to Alturas, as well as the Union Pacific's line as far as Perez, CA, as the Lake Railway.
