Historic Lucin

Historic Lucin was established as a section station on July 6th, 1875, at mile 680.5 from San Francisco. A nearby rail station originally held the name Lucin, but the name and services were moved here. It also served as a freight station, supplying the Grouse Creek Mountains during a mining boom in the 1870s. Because the site was completely dry, water was brought in from Thousand Spring Valley near the Nevada-Utah border. Artifacts found there suggest both Euroamerican and Chinese inhabitants. In 1904, the name Lucin was moved again to facilities serving the western end of the new Lucin Cutoff, while this station was renamed Grouse. The railroad finally dismantled it in 1907.
