The line connected with the Central Pacific railhead, traveled to Winnemucca and then north to the mines of Idaho.
Some of the stations were:
- Toll House 10 mi. .[3]
- Paradise 10 mi.[3]
- Cane Springs (Andorno Ranch) 14 mi.[3]
- Buffalo Station 7 mi.[3]
- Rebel Creek 8 mi.[3]
- Flat Creek 11.5 mi.[3]

A 1967 source states that the stage left Winnemucca, traveled to Willow Point Station in Paradise Valley, then over Paradise Hill Pass to the Quinn River Valley and then to Rattlesnake Creek in the Owyhee basin.[1]
