Crestline is a non-agency railroad siding[2] and landfill in Lincoln County, Nevada, United States. Crestline is located near the Utah state line 21.5 miles (34.6 km) east of Caliente.
Crestline is named because of the position of the siding near the summit of the line.[2] The pass is the highest location on the Salt Lake route.[3]
In the early 1900s, Crestline was the location of a wye, where helper locomotives reversed direction after helping trains climb to the pass.[3]
The Lincoln County Crestline Landfill is located at Crestline.[4]
