The railroad was constructed to connect Eureka, the center of a rich silver mining area, with the national railway network at Palisade.

Eureka & Palisade #4, the "Eureka", still exists and has been carefully restored to operating condition by Daniel Markoff, a private collector in Nevada. Periodically he runs the engine for the public, typically on narrow-gauge trackage in Nevada, Colorado and New Mexico.
