The Nevada–California–Oregon Railway was a 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge railroad originally planned to connect Reno, Nevada, to the Columbia River. However, only 238 mi (383 km) of track were laid so service never extended beyond Lakeview, Oregon. Because of the company’s reputation for mismanagement, it was often called the "Narrow, Crooked & Ornery" railroad.

  • Die Nevada-California-Oregon Railway, abgekürzt NCO war eine 383 km lange Schmalspurbahn im Westen der Vereinigten Staaten.
