The Mid-Pacific Railroad was an idea proposed by Andrew Stevenson in 1929 to build and operate a 1,000-mile-long north-to-south railroad through central and eastern Nevada and southern California. Had it been built, the railroad would have run from Battle Mountain, Nevada to Barstow, California with a branch line to Reno, Nevada via Tonopah, Nevada, over parts of track belonging to the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, Southern Pacific Railroad and the Union Pacific Railroad, and over the routes of several shortline and narrow gauge railroads located within Southern California and Nevada2
