For those stuck in the winter doldrums I have a nagging question on my mind. When was the laat NCO train to depart from Wendel?  In 1925, the Southern Pacific acquired the NCO. In July 1927 that company began the standard gauging the NCO at Wendel.

It should be noted that in the summer of 1917 the NCO sold its southern portion of its line, a 64 mile segment, from Rayl (Herlong) to Reno. On January 30, 1918, the last NCO train to depart  from Reno occurred. In 1922, the NCO was granted to abandon sixteen miles between Rayl now known as Hackstaff  to Wendel. The last train on that segment happened on October 31, 1922. Why were these two events well documented, but not Wendel?
