Bailey was a three-car siding on the Nevada Central Railroad. While the railroad was being built, Bailey was used as a base camp for workers. Enough people lived there in 1880 to warrant a post office. The office remained active until November 1887 when five miles of track were washed out and Bailey faded into obscurity. Nothing remains at the site.
