For those of you that don't know me (many of you do), I own (and hopefully will get open soon in Sutherlin Oregon) the OTM (Oregon Transportation Museum). Are...
My sense is that the bulk of the collection is not going anywhere anytime soon. Fred Kepner's lawyer is Martin Hansen of the Frances Hansen Martin law firm in...
I asked about Kepner's equipment and this is the answer i got this morning. As usual, for the condition of the 105 and others, his price suggested is far...
Recently, the crane and outfit car as well as one of the old heavyweight MOW cars that used to be stored in the KFalls UP yard was moved by MNRR out to...
Back in the late 70's I was offered the then two McCloud Harriman cars; and the open air excursion flatcar; at a rediculous low price (and I was broke). When...
The Daylight painted car is indeed used as a crew facility. The car is owned by UP and they were very protective of it a couple of years ago; meaning they...
Don- The McCloud River donated the two cars to the Dunsmuir Chamber of Commerce. The local SP officials agreed to handle the cars "under the table". An SP...
Well, now we need to see which one of us heard the true story as to what happened to the other car. Was it sent into the mountains near Dunsmuir, or out to...
I was wondering how much snow the Modoc line is getting, as it appears according to trainorders.com posts, that spreaders from Bend, Oakridge, K Falls and...
The MNR has been receiving heavy amounts of snow, however, it varies by location. I began to receive snow reports at 0500 yesterday from Lakeview, followed by...

Don, Thanks for the snowfall totals. Kyle and I are discussing a plan to head your way Friday. Would there be an inbound train to Kalamath Falls, or would...
I will second the thanks for your updates and insights. We appreciate them. If MNRR does need a flanger...is that something that you have on hand or would you...
MNR is still experiencing a heavy snow event, which is forecast to continue through Sunday. As of midnight, 10 JAN, Tule Lake has about 8" on the ground....
While this post is about another shortline in the region, JSS2 members are most invited to join us next Saturday. The March gathering will be in southern...
To all, Yesterday, 1/11, Matt Adams and I went out to check out what we could find moving out on the Modoc Line. Almost got to Canby when we came across the...
After recieving a generous amount of snow, the air temperature warmed enough to give MNR crews a break. Thankfully, it did not warm enough to create any major...
Matt, that's nice stuff of both #7780 and #1011. Thanks for the link. Introducing your takes with radio dispatches is very nice. Also, listening to those GE's...
That was truly a great video. Cannot wait for you to capture the new power and the wonderful sounds those old SD9s always made. Listen to them a lot growing...
Thanks all. I can't wait to capture the SD9s either, besides being one of my favorites to run (second only to the equally awesome SD45), and one of my...
Hey Matt, if you love SD45s so much, then you're on the wrong RR! You need to be out here in B&P territory. 12 and growing along with 2 tunnel motors. Could...
We enjoyed your footage as well, Matt! Great to see tonnage lugging up Howard's Gulch still. I have high hopes that those SD9's will arrive soon. I'd like...
Aaron, I left the area just after the Eureka Southern took over. Rode a few excursions from Eureka to Arcata behind the new GP38s and also one down the canyon...
I did the same, many times, from Schelville or Petaluma to Willits and from there north thru the Canyon. Did many trips over Ridge. Yeah, I think Aaron is...
