=== Red Mesa & Sargent River Railroad. (1905-1943) === Red Mesa and the surrounding communities began to slowly regrow after the war, but still needed a rail link to the rest of the Territories. The Pine Island and Bridgewater Railway (PI&B) reached Bridgewater in 1910 and saw huge business opportunities with the former Red Mesa Northern. The PI&B built an extension of their Bridgewater line to Reno and connected with the Red Mesa Northern. At that same time, the New Territories government chartered the Red Mesa and Sargent River Railroad. The town of Lichii was renamed to the town of Sargent in honor of Henry B. Sargent. And named the parellel river to the Red Mesa Northern the Sargent River. The RMSR rebuilt and converted the track to standard gauge. The new line opened in 1914. The RMSR gained trackage rights on the new PI&B trackage to Bridgewater, where it would interchange and connect with the rest of the rapidly developing New Territories rail network. The RMSR would haul Iron ore, coal, mesa sand, oil, lumber and other various commodities across their network.
