Truckee industry greatly revived after the 49er gold rush (1949) and the opening of the new Mother Lode mine, right adjacent to the original Mother Lode.  A daily turn from the ore crusher at Carson City services the Mother Lode and the Grizzly Flats mine, with a 20 car train.  The town of Truckee contains 9 industries with 25 spots, the largest of which is the J.K. Rich complex, serviced by three tracks.  Typical daily mixed freight trains to Truckee, which may originate in Black Water Junction or Sparks, or both, will have 8 setouts and 8 pickups, with a caboose. 

During 4 interchange operation, the town industries are the responsibility of the LS&I, which operates a turn from Black Water Junction to Truckee and Lodestone.  A separate train from Carson City services the mines.
