With all the trouble Sunday in the Sacramento River Canyon, do any of you in and around Calamity Flats know if the MNRR got much snow? There is supposedly...
Sort of interesting about the conditions of UP's lines in California; and they thought they didn't need the Modoc! It would have made for interesting (and...
IF I get a chance tomorrow I'll go south and check it out. Klamath Falls had some pretty good snow showers but nothing stuck more than a few hours. It is not...

Craig: I seriously doubt these folk from Utah won't be bothered by a little snow even if it came down to track elevations. Wish I could join you in Alturas,...
Holy cow! This is incredible news, Craig. ... What a great chase the 7780 would make southbound out of Lakeview on Friday morning! Wish I could be there. ...
Unfortunately, the Lakeview train was annulled this morning after I'd already left the house so I didn't find out about it until I got to Alturas... the track...
