| Commemorating The 100Th Year Of The Lake County Railroad |

"The arrival of the NCO Railway was heralded at the time as “the most important epoch in the history of Lakeview and Lake County.” Despite the limitations of its narrow-gauged tracks, the railroad spurred the growth of the livestock, mineral, and timber industries, brought in scores of new settlers, and turned a dusty frontier town into a vibrant community. Along with a passenger depot which still stands today, the railroad ushered in a building boom that saw the construction of a new opera house, high school, and even a sewer system."
