The T&T started at Ludlow, California on the Santa Fe extending to Gold Center (near Beatty, Rhyolite and Bullfrog NV) and was originally built to serve borax mines in the Death Valley area (the Lila C and Ryan mines owned by Francis Marion "Borax" Smith) with an outlet to southern California via the AT&SF.
