Madeline was an important stop on the Nevada-California-Oregon Railroad, which ran between Reno, Nevada and Lakeview, Oregon. This railroad, along with today's US395, traverses some of the loneliest county in California.

In 1902, the N-C-O Railroad reached Madeline town site. It quickly grew into an important livestock shipping center. Madeline Meadows Land and Irrigation Company, owned and operated by J. Noble Jones, was one of the largest of the companies to base themselves here, and had spent considerable resources trying to colonize the valley.

Postcards were circulated showing orange trees growing alongside an irrigation ditch, while a box of "locally grown" oranges were always on display at the Madeline Hotel (this author seriously doubts that oranges could be commercially or successfully grown in this high plateau region with extreme cold temperatures in winter well below zero). Today, a small population lives in Madeline, with a small store serving the needs of the traveling public alongside US395.

The tracks of the former N-C-O Railroad, now part of the Western Pacific system, are still intact, although rail traffic is very light.
