Carlin was established as a division point on the Central Pacific in December 1868. It was named for a CP official, William Passmore Carlin. It remained a crew change point on the Southern Pacific until the merger with the Union Pacific. It was also the principal icing station in Nevada for refrigerator cars on both the SP and WP from 1906 through the early 1950s.
