CARSON CITY STATION  

Sources generally agree on the identity of Carson City as a station.  Little information is available about the Carson City Station site, which was located on what is now Carson Street between Fourth and Fifth.  Bolivar Roberts, division superintendent, used Carson City as a base in March 1860 to hire riders and stationkeepers.  Since he worked as part of a team to build or acquire other stations along the route, Roberts probably established the Carson City station as well.  (NPS)
