The Napa Valley Rail-Road Company was incorporated on March 2, 1864 as the Napa Valley Rail-Road Company, but would be spelled as the Napa Valley Railroad without the hyphen in numerous newspapers and publishing's. The railroad was formed under the pretext to cunstruct a railroad through the Napa Valley from the tidewaters at the ferry in Suscol to Calistoga. The railroad would be completed to Calistoga in 1868, and then from Suscol to Adelante in 1869. The railroad briefly exhisted for only 5 years before it was sold to the California Pacific Railroad under foreclosure on June 9, 1869.[1][2]
