Dunsmuir, CA
Originally known as "Pusher" because of the steep rail grades at this location the coal trains would need another locomotive to push them up the hill. In 1888, a wealthy industrialist, Alexander Dunsmuir, from Vancouver Island offered the residents of Pusher a fountain if they changed the name.
