Patron provided the following comment: Note that the depot is wood. This means they are likely at the Bullfrog Goldfield Railroad Depot. The other depot in Rhyolite (still standing) was made of rock and owned by the Las Vegas and Tonopah Railroad.

Men from Quartette Mining Company stand in front of locomotive. This photograph came with the description, "This narrow gauge railroad ran from the Quartette Mine in Searchlight to the mill located near the present Cottonwood Cove Resort. At that time there was not enough water available in Searchlight for a mill of this size. The train hauled ore down from the mine and brought supplies and passengers up from the river streamers that regularly came into the Cottonwood Landing. When more water was located in Searchlight the mill was moved there and the railroad abandoned in 1906. The rails and equipment were sold and moved to the Yellow Pine Mine in Goodsprings, Nev. in 1910. Middlebrook Collection."
