Hmmm... If the spot is on the main, how can they shove their caboose back if there is no where to set the caboose by and then spot the car? How is this move...
Good point. I guess I mis-read the original post about the track layout. Although, they could leave the caboose there in between servicings since they would...
So, does anyone have any insights into the Oct 5-8 2007 Modoc Northern trip that Trains Unlimited is advertising? They claim it's 62% full and the status is...
... Northern ... Well, the opportunity to ride over most of what's left of the Modoc, along with the Lakeview branch, is a heckuva draw. If I were a hardcore...
Aaaah! Sadly, they have updated their news site and the new page at that address does not have the article! You didn't by chance copy it to your computer,...
Ah -- found it in their archives: <http://www.modocrecord.com/2007archives.html#April> I'll take the liberty of copying it here for educational purposes, so we...
So what did the MNRR end up doing to service the customer down at the end of track @ McArthur? Are they getting regular shipments or was this an "occassional...
I have wodered why UP did not leave the track in to Likely. That seems to be end of the agricultural zone in the area and it had tracks for run around moves...

This thought was hatched after reading the Modoc Record article and finding out that Don Blansett is a model railroader!! I would ask Don if he ever considered...
A further thought on this...I'd suggest contacting Golden West Hobbies up at Edgewood...a year or two ago they commissioned a special run of 600 S-4's painted...
I should think that if the railroad found it to be adventageous to not have a long shove move with a crew member hanging on a car, they could replace the...
... Not the kind of journalism one would expect to find in a small town paper. Well written, good quotes, and the author doesn't put in his own opinions....
In an effort to educate the unlearned, I have just finished posting 16 or so photos on Trainorders.com, all of Klamath Falls area activity and eight presenting...
I took today off and went for a drive with three destinations on my agenda – to check on progress of the long-planned razing of the Air Force's unused...
Cool! Thanks for the update, Craig. I'd wager that I just might see those gons of scrap radar parts coming into the yard in Albany, headed for Cascade Steel....
I have now posted some of my favorite MNRR images from that trip to the photo section here. I'll let you folks know when I have the web pages finished. ...
Hi Ron, good pics! Hope you don't mind my putting one of them up as the home page pic for the group. As far as editing previous posts, sadly there appears to...
Thanks for your recent set of photos, Ron. You've been doing some serious foaming this year. Those snow shots are particularly nice. LOL, do you ever have...
Mow? I have a son in college who is much in debt to me for his education. He comes over and whacks the grass down to reasonable height every once in a while....
Nope. CN purchased Savage Alberta Railway and Alberta RailNet, inheriting the GEs. They are up for auction and I don't think they saw much if any service on...
