I ran across the agenda of a February 4, 2004 Susanville City Council Meeting and thought you all might like to read this. We've discussed this before and ...
I just got back from three full days on the MNRR and have loaded about 250 images onto my computer. Saturday morning, I'll begin loading them to web pages at...
Some early images of rolling stock are now online. I will be adding geographical information and annecdotes to each page as things progress. And I would like...
Thanks, Craig. Your website was really an inspiration! I have about 4-5 more landscapes to post and then I'll start posting some images of spur activities....
Phase one of my Modoc Northern web pages are wrapped up and online. The site features 12 mostly full page landscape and train images. You may have already...
Greg, Thanks for the links to the 3859 on the Lakeview Branch. I spent many, many hours running her for the Albany & Eastern in the four-plus years I was ...
Apparently they are not aware of railfans and train photographers. I was detained for 25 minutes and had my camera seized right after the Modoc Northern came...
Sounds like Barney Fife is alive and well in Lakeview California : ) ... From: "Ron" <graybeardom1942@...> To: <JSS2@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, June...
Ron: As a foamer I've been threatened and ordered to skedattle before, but never by the police. On two occasions I spent a great deal of time in Lakeview, OR,...
Sad state of affairs but I suppose it isn't all that unusual in these post 9/11 days. It could be that some concerned citizen reported your suspicious...
From the first minute I arrive in Tulelake, it seemed like the red carpet was out for this old railfan. I am a shy guy but a gentle knock of the door of the MN...
Laughing out loud. Can't tell you how many times this has worked for me... with non-railroad employee confrontations. Hey, why not? Safety first right? On...
It would be a good idea to send that letter to the PD AND the city council even without the officer's info - just explain the situation and give them a heads...
Well said, Fred, do let us know what replies you get. I don't have a problem at all with a police officer doing his or her job, and if someone hanging around a...
For the record, I was parked on an asphalt parking lot at the bottom of 3rd Street, across the street from the tracks. The parking lot was adjacent to the high...

If you haven't seen it yet, Ron of Chico (Graybeard) has one great picture of MNRR 7780 passing LCR 700, parked on a siding, near Davis Creek on June 7, 2006. ...
No problem using my photos, Fred, to me they are public property. Maybe someday I'll get a current version of Photoshop and put a signature on some of my...
I've posted a set of seven photos from my visit to the LCRR earlier this month. I had a little time there waiting for the 10 mph Modoc Northern 7780, a train...
Very nice photos, Ron. The 700 sure looked forlorn sitting there at the siding. In my visits there, I have yet to be able to figure out if someone is living...
My letter to the editor didn't appear in last Fridays's Lake County Examiner, but perhaps this coming Friday it will show up. The lake County Examiner is on...
