In 1915, the Tonopah & Tidewater (T&T)
Railroad built the 2 mile-long Acme Spur to the gypsum mine at the mouth of
China Ranch Canyon. Today, you can hike along what's left of the
original spur starting at the China Ranch parking lot and ending where the old
loading bin meets the main T&T railroad bed. Besides being an interesting
hike on its own, this hike is also a major trailhead for most of the other hikes
in this area. See the China Ranch Area chapter for a complete list of all the hikes.
