IMimyuziyamu yoMzila weTrotho, uMbhishophu waseCalifornia
Imithetho yasungulwa xa iColonon neColor Railroad Inkampani, ibizwa ngeC & C Railroad, yakhetha indlela eya kumzila wesitimela omncinci. Umgca wawukudibanisa iMound House, Nevada, kunye noMlambo waseCroonon kunye ne-terminus kuMlambo waseColorado, kodwa umzila wesitimela awuzange uwenze kude. Esikhundleni saloo ndlela, umzila wesitimela waphela eKeeler, eCalifornia. Imithetho, iikhilomitha ezimbalwa ukusuka kuBhishophu, yayingomnye we-Owens Valley eyeka phakathi kweMound House noKeeler.
Imithetho yanikwa kuqala igama leSt Station Creek Station, kodwa igama leedolophu latshintshela ukuba yimithetho yokuhlonela i-RJ Laws, igosa likarhulumente wendawo. Ukususela ngo-1883 ukuya ku-1960, i-C & C Railroad kwaye, emva ko-1900, izitimela eziqhutywe ngeSouth Pacific zasetyenziseni kwaye zigcinwe umzila omncinci we-Mound Hill, indawo yokutshintshwa kwesitimela yokuthutha i-ore yesilivere kwiimigodi zesilivere ze-Nevada, kunye needolophu e-Owens Valley kunye umzila wesitimela eKeeler.
Isalathiso esilindelekileyo sesilivere e-Owens Valley yaba yintsimbi yesilivere. Umzila wesitimela wawuphethe isilivere, i-zinc, ukufama kunye nemfuyo ngokusebenzisa i-Owens Valley ekuxhaseni abavukuzi, abalimi, abaqhankqalazi kunye nabantu basezidolophini, kodwa ukuxhamla kwendlela yomzila kwakunamathele ngqo kwimpumelelo yeemigodi, eyayincike kwixabiso lesilivere kunye ne-zinc.
Emva kokuvalwa komsebenzi wemigodi, i-end-road railway yavalwa. I-Pacific yasePasifike yavala i-depot ye-Laws ngo-1959 kwaye abantu baqala ukushiya idolophu. Ngethuba lokugqibela i-locomotive yokulinganisa yenze isigqibo sayo sokugqibela ngo-1960, iMithetho yayiphelile.

Inkosikazi yaseSlim, i-Locomotive No. 9
"Inkosikazi encinane". Martine Parode I-Pacific Pacific Locomotive No. 9, "iNkosikazi yaseSlim," iyona ndawo iphambili yeMitrama yeMiyalo yaseMilayisti. Lo mhlaba, owakhelwe ngo-1909, ngowona wesibini ukuthwala le nombolo.
Inkosikazi yaseSlim yagijimela kwiinqwelwana ezincinci ezingama-intshi ezingama-36, ukudonsa i-stort of cars. Inkosikazi yaseSlim kunye nezinye iindawo zokuhlala kwiColonon & Colorado Railroad zinezixhobo ezinamandla, oko kwakuthetha ukuba abahlali bendawo bafumana imali yokusika kunye nokuthwala imithi ye-piñon kwinqanawa. Amaqela e-Mule aphakamisa iinkuni eziqingqiweyo ukusuka ezintabeni nasezintabeni ezigubungela i-Owens Valley.
Izitimela zeC & C ezinokotyiswa ngamanzi kunye nokuhamba kwamanzi okuwela iLwandle lwaseOwens zithwele iinqwelo zesilivere kuKeeler. Indawo yeKeeler kwindawo elunxwemeni lwe-Owens Lake yenze ikhefu lokuthutha i-ore yesiliva kwaye, kamva, i-zinc. I-Owens Ichibi eyomile kwi-1920s ngenxa yokuba amanzi ayo aphendulelwa kwi-Los Angeles Aqueduct, eyongezela ekunciphiseni kwezoqoqosho kwi-Owens Valley. Xa iimigodi ze-zinc zivaliwe, uqoqosho lukaKeeler lwaye lwahla, kwaye ngokunjalo inzuzo yeC & C. Inkonzo yabathengi kwiC & C iphelile ngowe-1932, kodwa inkonzo yokuthutha kwiC & C yaqhubeka kwaze kwaba ngo-1960.
Namhlanje, iindwendwe kwiMicrosoft Museum ziyakhwela kwiNdlunkulu yeSlim kwaye zihlale kwelinye leemoto zithuthi. Kwiintsuku zeveki zasehlotyeni kunye neeholide, ukugibela izitimela kunikwa ngo-10: 30 ukuya ku-2: 30, kuxhomekeke kwiimeko zemozulu. Amathikiti a-$ 5 ngomntu ngamnye; Abantwana abangaphantsi kwe-13 bakhwela ngokukhululeka xa behamba nomntu omdala ohlawulayo. Iimyuziyam zibeka iimbasa ezizodwa kulo nyaka, kubandakanywa ukubhiyozela iKrismesi kunye neMithetho emihle yeNtsuku eNdala, ukugujwa kweentsapho ezinobungqina beeMithetho.

Imithetho yeDepot neyokuLawula iDock
Imithetho yeDepot kunye ne-dock yayo yokufakela eqhotyoshelweyo yakhiwa ngo-1883 ngethuba lokufika kwe-C & C. Xa i dolophu yalahlekelwa yinkonzo yayo ngo-1960, ezininzi izakhiwo kwiMithetho zachithwa, kodwa i-depot yahlala. Namhlanje esi sakhiwo sembali sinezindlu zokubonisa izithuthi, imemorabilia yomzila, izixhobo kunye nolwazi malunga nomzila.
Izakhiwo ezivela kulo lonke i-Owens Valley zigcinwe kwi-salvage kwaye ziswe kuMithetho. Abanye babo, njenge-Shack's Shack, bamiselwa ngendlela ababeza kuba ngayo ngexesha lemiThetho. Abanye baye bahlaziywa ukuze baveze iinkalo ezahlukeneyo zobomi kwimithetho.
Kwimihla yayo, idolophu yeMithetho yayisekhaya kwihotele, iposi, i-post hall, i-pool hall, ivenkile yezitolo, izitoreji, izitolo eziqhelekileyo kunye namakhaya abo. Abaqhankqalazi kwi-Owens Valley basebenzise umzila wezothutho ukuba bathumele iinkomo kwiimarike baze balethe iimpahla.
Zonke ezi zinto zaphela ngokukhawuleza emva kokuba iPacific yasePasifiki yanquma ukuvala umzila. Izakhiwo zasekuhlaleni ezazisemgangathweni zazityhulwa kunye nabemi befuduka. Ngonyaka, yonke into eyayisele kwiMithetho yayinendlu yomphathi wendlela yomzila, umzila wezitrosi, i-depot ngokwayo, kunye namathangi e-water kunye neoli. Imithetho yaba yidolophu yokufa cishe malunga nobusuku.
Ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yama-1960, iMithetho yayingumthunzi kwaye iyonakalisa, kodwa abahlali be-Owens Valley bazimisele ukugcina i-Locomotive Number 9, "iNkosikazi encinci" kunye nokugcina iMithetho. I-Museum yaseMbhishophu kunye neMbali ye-Historical ngoku isebenza kuMyuziyam oLondolozo lweMimiselo.

Imayini kunye neMithetho yoMzila
IMaminer's Cabin kwiMimyulo yoMzila weeMilawu. UStephen Saks / Getty Images Iimigodi kufuphi neMithetho eveliswe ikakhulu kwisiliva kunye ne-zinc. Isiqhumiso seemayini zesilivere safika kuqala, ngokufumanisa i-Nevada's Comstock Lode. Abathengi bafumene idilesi encinci eCalifornia, njengemigodi yaseCroro Gordo ezintabeni ezisempumalanga yeKeeler. Kamva, ukuchitshiswa kwe-zinc kwaba luncedo kwaye kuncedwa ukugcina iC & C Railroad kwishishini.
Ukudibana nokunciphisa ukuhamba kweemigodi kunye nokuhamba kwezinto ezihambahambayo ezihamba kunye ne-Owens Lake ukuchithwa kwelokudambisa ukutshabalalisa imali engakumbi kwi-Owens Valley. Nangona i-C & C ikwazi ukuhlala kwishishini ukuya ku-1960, abantu abambalwa nabambalwa babefuna iinkonzo zayo. Kuphela iidolophu ezikufutshane necandelo le-Owens Valley lomgca weC & C liye lalawulwa ukusinda kwi-miniing.Ukuba Uya
Imithetho i-California Highway 6, malunga neekhilomitha ezingama-4.5 ukusuka northeast yaseBhishop. Njengoko uhamba ngentla ngasemgwaqweni we-Highway 395 ngeBhishophu, hlala ngakwesokudla kwi-Highway 6 endaweni yokulandela u-395 ukuya ngasentla-ntshona. Imyuziyam iya kuba ngakwesokunene sakho; kukho indawo yokupaka ngakwesokunxele kwendlela.
Ukungena kukhululekile, kodwa umrhumo we-$ 5 ngamnye ngomntu ucetyiswa. Imimyulo yoMzila weeMigwaqo ivuliwe yonke iminyaka. Iishedyuli zomcimbi ezizodwa kunye neeholide zeveki zokuhamba ngeeveki zithunyelwa kwiwebsite ye-museum.
