Mud Spring summit was the site of Mud Spring Station, a water stop for the Las Vegas and Tonopah Railroad where trains replenished their water supply after climbing the steep grade coming out of Rhyolite. The stop was abandoned when the railroad stopped running in 1914. Nothing marks the site except a small group of green trees and four foundations.
