Craig and others: It's been quiet at this site quiet the last few days, so I thought I would drop a line to see if anyone has seen or heard anything concerning...
I have of nothing of interest to report - my work has kept me tied down to the home office for the past couple of weeks (I've been swamped with work). All I...
I apologize for this being off-topic, but geographically it's almost relevant: I'm looking to photograph the BNSF mainline in the area between Dixie and the...
All of the info below all depends on what vehicle you are driving and the weather conditions. From the south the road from Little Valley is even worse now....
Sorry if this goes through as a repost... I initially posted about three hours or so ago but it hasn't shown up yet so I'll put it up again. The railable...
I also thank you for the timely report. With my original fan trip to the area for next week falling apart I'll settle for the next best thing. Hey, in the...
Hello Aaron, I go camping each year up in Modoc County, but I'm usually down the Warners east of Likely. However, I have checked out the Goose Lake State Park...
You are all welcome. Of course, as usual, things did not go off as planned. The work has been postponed, and is now scheduled to begin around noon on...
Hi, thanks for the report. I've been into Hackamore once on a really dusty road. But when you posted the info on what remains there, it triggered a memory...
Hmm. I don't think its still there, but next time I am in that area I'll check it out. The tank and pump house are still there (as of my last drive past);...
That concrete cistern, or whatever it is, is within the shadow of the water tank. I can't remember which side of the track it was on, but it was right up...
... Jack Bowden told me that SP used to load livestock from those corrals. There never was any siding, so the loading took place on the main line. When I get...
I don't know which but I do know that if they revive the EMD's they'll probably be getting new paint before turning a wheel in revenue service (total...
Here is a link to the promised shot of the Alturas Local: http://finance.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/JSS2/photos/view/1be1?b=1&m=f&o=0 I will add a few more...
Got to Chimney Rock about 10:40 a.m. and the crew was already getting ready to go to work. Took some time to build up air in the string of 10 side dump cars,...
Lee, I popped 'round Madeline today after I shot the MNRR train in Pit River canyon. The concrete bowl of which you speak is still there, albeit looking quite...
Fred, this is a reply to the 4th message on the group from last year, ... On my drive to Madeline today I located the current end of track at 1 mile south of...
Hey, thanks for investigating! Even with gas approaching $3.30 per gallon. I remember finding it on my first trip to Madeline, and asking "just what is...
You're welcome, but you couldn't pay me enough to get me to climb up that tank ladder; heights and I don't get along! (And to think when I was a kid one of my...
But just think of the view from the top of the water tank, Craig! A missed opportunity! Something you could tell your friends about! I wonder if anyone has...
... That is correct. I talked to a local about a year ago who told me they had just relined the tank so the town could keep using it. ... This pile of ballast...
Thanks for all the info, Mike. My next visit up there - to go camping, of course - will be in July after the 4th. I'll try to stop by and give Wendel a...
Great pages, Craig, on the LCR repairs at Chimney Rock. Those dump cars don't appear that old--how do you figure they would have so much trouble with them?...
Craig, allow me to add my "wow!" to your new photos. I just looked at them and was really impressed of how great they are. Really told a story. Told a story...
... have so much trouble with them? ... IIRC, they had build dates from the 70's and 80's, but they did look a lot newer so they must be well maintained (at...
Thank you, Lee, it is always good to hear compliments if they are truly deserved. May I quote you in my visitor's comments page on my website (you too, Fred)?...
