Imithetho Yomsakazo Wase-Railroad, Bishop, California
Imithetho yasungulwa ngenkathi iKarkon neColor Railroad Company, ibizwa ngegama leC & C Railroad, bakhetha umzila wesitimela esincane esincane sendlela. Umzila kwakuwukuxhumanisa iMound House, Nevada, kanye noMfula iCosonon eseduze ne-terminus eMfuleni iCoronto, kodwa isitimela asizange senze lokho kude. Kunalokho, umzila wesitimela waphela eKeeler, eCalifornia. Imithetho, amamayela ambalwa ukusuka kuBhishop, yayiyinye yezintaba eziningi ze-Owens Valley phakathi kweMound House noKeeler.
Imithetho ekuqaleni yanikezwa igama le-Bishop Creek Station, kodwa igama ledolobhana lashintshwa laba yimithetho yokuhlonipha i-RJ Laws, isikhulu somzila wendawo. Kusukela ngo-1883 kuya ku-1960, i-C & C Railroad futhi, emva kuka-1900, iStraffic Pacific Railroad yasebenzisa izitimela futhi igcina ithrekhi encane ehlanganisa i-Mound Hill, indawo yokudlulisela isitimela zokuthutha i-ore yesiliva emigodini yesiliva ye-Nevada, namadolobha ase-Owens Valley umzila wesitimela eKeeler.
I-boom yesiliva elindelekile e-Owens Valley yaba yindoda yesiliva. Umzila wesitimela wawuphethe isiliva, i-zinc, impahla yokulima kanye nemfuyo ngokusebenzisa i-Owens Valley ekusekeleni abavukuzi, abalimi, abaqhamuka emadolobheni kanye namadolobhana, kodwa inzuzo yomzila wesitimela yayihlanganiswe ngokuqondile ekuthuthukisweni kwezimayini, okwakuncike entengo yesiliva ne-zinc.
Lapho umsebenzi wezimayini usuphelile, isiphetho sesitimela savalwa. I-Pacific yasePacific ivala i-depot yeLaws ngo-1959 futhi abantu baqala ukushiya idolobha. Ngesikhathi i-last gauge locomotive eyenza ukuphela kwayo ngo-1960, iMithetho yayisesekho kodwa yayingekho.

I-Princess Princess, i-Locomotive No. 9
I "Princess Princess". Martine Parode I-Pacific Pacific Locomotive No. 9, "i-Princess Slim," yiyona ndawo ephakathi kweMilayis Railroad Museum. Le ndawo, eyakhelwe ngo-1909, empeleni iyesibili ukuthwala le nombolo.
Inkosikazi encane yagijima emigwaqweni encane engamakhilomitha angu-36 kuphela, idonsa imoto yezimoto. Iphrinta leSlim kanye namanye ama-locomotives e-Carson & Colorado Railroad kwakuyi-steam-powered, okwakusho ukuthi izakhamuzi zendawo zingathola imali yokukhwabanisa futhi zithwale izinkuni zendawo yangasese. Amaqembu e-Mule aqoqa izinkuni eziqunyiwe ezivela emagqumeni nasezintabeni ezigubungula i-Owens Valley.
Izitimela ze-C & C ezinamanzi nezikebhe eziwela i-Owens Lake zithwala izinhlamvu zesiliva ku-Keeler. Indawo kaKeeler ogwini lwase-Owens Lake yenze ihabhu lokuthutha i-ore yesiliva futhi, kamuva, i-zinc. I-Owens Lake yomile ema-1920 ngoba amanzi ayo ahanjelwa eLou Angeles Aqueduct, enezela ekunciphiseni kwezomnotho e-Owens Valley. Lapho imayini ye-zinc ivaliwe, umnotho kaKeeler wehla, futhi kanjalo nenzuzo yeC & C. Isevisi yezimoto eC & C iphelile ngo-1932, kodwa insizakalo yokuthutha e-C & C yaqhubeka kuze kube ngo-1960.
Namuhla, izivakashi zeMilayis Railroad Museum ziyakwazi ukugibela egodini leSlim Princess bese zihlala kwelinye lezimoto zomgibeli. Ngezinsuku zempelasonto ekhethiwe eholide namaholide, ukugibela isitimela kunikezwa kusukela ngo-10: 30 kuya ku-2: 30, kuye ngokuthi izimo zezulu ziphi. Amathikithi angama-$ 5 ngomuntu ngamunye; izingane ezingaphansi kuka-13 ukuhamba mahhala uma zihambisana nomuntu omdala okhokhelayo. I-museum ibeka imicimbi ekhethekile kulo nyaka, kufaka phakathi ukugubha uKhisimusi nemithetho emihle emidala ubudala, umkhosi owenziwe umndeni onobungane wePhasiwedi.

Imithetho yedatha nokulayisha i-Dock
Imithetho iDoot kanye ne-dock yokulayisha ehlanganisiwe yakhiwa ngo-1883 ngilindele ukufika kwe-C & C Railroad. Lapho idolobhana elahlekelwa u-rail service ngo-1960, izakhiwo eziningi eMilayisweni zadilizwa, kodwa i-depot yahlala. Namuhla lesi sakhiwo semlando sinezibonakaliso zesitimela sezimoto, izitimela zememorabilia, amathuluzi nolwazi mayelana nomzila wesitimela.
Izakhiwo ezivela kulo lonke elase-Owens Valley zilondolozwe kusuka ku-salvage futhi ziswe eMithethweni. Abanye babo, njenge-Shack's Shack, basungulwa ngendlela ababeyobe ngayo phakathi neMithetho kaMasipala. Ezinye ziye zaphindiswa kabusha ukuze zibonise izici ezihlukahlukene zokuphila emithethweni yemithetho.
Esikhathini saso, idolobha laseMithetho laliyindawo yokuhlala ehotela, eposini, ehholo lokudoba, esitolo sosundu, emasitolo, ezitolo ezijwayelekile kanye nasemakhaya. Ama-Ranchers e-Owens Valley nawo asebenzisa isitimela sokuthumela izinkomo emakethe futhi balethe izinto.
Konke lokhu kwaphela ngokushesha lapho iPacific yaseNingizimu Pacific inquma ukuvala isitimela. Izakhiwo zendawo ezazingabelwe ngasese zaqothulwa futhi abantu basuka. Ngakapheli unyaka, konke okwakushiywe kweMithetho kwakuyikhaya lommeleli wesitimela, umgwaqo wesitimela, i-depot ngokwayo, namathangi amanzi namanzi. Imithetho yayisedolobheni elibi kakhulu cishe ebusuku.
Ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yama-1960, iMithetho yayingumhlabathi othulizayo, kodwa izakhamuzi zase-Owens Valley zazimisela ukugcina iNombolo yezinombolo ezingu-9, "iNkosikazi encane," nokugcina iMithetho. I-Bishop Museum ne-Historical Society manje isebenza iMistim Railroad Museum.

Imayini neMigwaqo Yomgwaqo
I-Miner's Cabin eMark Museum Museum. UStephen Saks / Getty Images Imayini eduze neMithetho eyenziwe ikakhulukazi isiliva ne-zinc. Isikhumba se-mining yesiliva safika kuqala, ngokutholakala kweNevada's Comstock Lode. Abathengi bathola imali encane yesiliva eCalifornia, njengemayini yaseCroro Gordo emagqumeni empumalanga yeKeeler. Kamuva, izimayini ze-zinc zaba nenzuzo futhi zasiza ukugcina umgwaqo weC & C ebhizinisini.
Ukuhlanganiswa kokunciphisa izimayini kanye nokwehla kwezokuthutha okuhambisana no-Owens Lake ukuchithwa kwamandla okunciphisa ukutshalwa kwemali okuqhubekayo emayini yezimayini zase-Owens Valley. Nakuba i-C & C ikwazi ukuhlala ibhizinisi kuze kube ngo-1960, abantu abambalwa nabambalwa badinga amasevisi ayo. Amadolobha ambalwa kuphela ohlangothini lwe-Owens Valley lomgwaqo we-C & C aphelelwe ukusinda ekuthuthukisweni kwezimayini.Uma Uya
Imithetho i-California Highway 6, cishe ngamakhilomitha angu-4.5 enyakatho-mpumalanga yeBhishobhi. Njengoba uhamba enyakatho ngomgwaqo omkhulu ku-Highway 395 ngoMbhishobhi, hlala ngakwesokudla ku-Highway 6 esikhundleni sokulandela u-395 ukuya enyakatho-ntshonalanga. I-museum izoba ngakwesokudla sakho; kukhona indawo yokupaka ngakwesokunxele komgwaqo.
Ukungena kukhululekile, kodwa umnikelo we-$ 5 umuntu ngamunye uphakanyisiwe. I-Laws Railroad Museum ivuliwe unyaka wonke. Amashejuli okhethekile wezemicimbi kanye nemininingwane yokuhamba ngesitimela evekini ngempelasonto iyathunyelwa kuwebhusayithi ye-museum.
