Found a video of a almost complete Best Steam Tractor see here advance to 1:00 to see sooner... this is now what is know as old Dinah at Furnace Creek. It's amazing to see what it originally looked like so clearly, versus what it looks like now.

Hi Andrew, there's a write-up on wikipedia. Looks like the town was only really operational for a few years around 1905-ish and then everyone moved away when the mine played out the first time.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
