Slaughterhouse Canyon

This view shows Slaughterhouse Canyon in 1873. Logs that were milled in Glenbrook were brought up the canyon by railroad, then put into flumes at Spooner Summit and sent down to Carson City. This view shows the switchbacks the railroad had to go through to make it up the steep grade.
