Vaca Valley and Clear Lake Railroad

The Vaca Valley Railroad was incorporated on April 12, 1869 to run a branch from the mainline of the California Pacific Railroad (later Southern Pacific Railroad's mainline between Sacramento and Oakland, CA) at Elmira to Rumsey.

By 1888, the Northern Railway extended the line northwest from Madison to Capay and Rumsey.
