Lot of 2 different, both unissued. Scarce. 1) c.1911. Unissued but rare pass (we have never seen this one) for this railroad that operated out of Placerville. 2.75" x 4.5" on cardstock with wear on corners, creases. 2) Unused 1913 pass. For one trip only. #314. The Camino, Placerville and Lake Tahoe Railroad was an 8-mile (13 km) Class III short-line railroad operating in the Sierra Nevada in California, east of Sacramento. It was built primarily to haul lumber from the El Dorado National Forest. The standard gauge line ran west 8.05 miles from a sawmill at Camino to a connection with the Placerville Branch of the Southern Pacific Company at Placerville. Loaded cars of lumber descended a 3.5 percent grade from 3,150 feet at Camino to 1,900 feet at Placerville.
