Since there has not been much activity here I will ask a few questions about Glass Mountain Pumice. I have a couple clients in McClellan Industrial Park, the...
Hi Steve, Glass Mountain Pumice is a BNSF customer at Tionesta, CA.- If I had to guess, it would be that there are 2 to 5 of their hoppers on most every BNSF...
In addition to what Dave already said, it's possible that the pumice-loading operation at Perez, on the MNRR, is associated with Glass Mountain Pumice also....
Hi Steve, Glass Mountain Pumice is located just west of Tionesta. The plant is approximately 5 - 6 miles southwest of the Modoc's Perez station (siding and...
I was just looking at the satellite views of both reloads and it looks like the BNSF transload is the much bigger and more automated of the two. Like because...
To add to what the others have said...the Medice Lake Highlands are located 30 miles east of Mt. Shasta. The peak is very unimpressive- only 7,900 feet tall-...
Welllllll..... since today was a beautiful spring day and I needed a break from all the work I've been doing, I took the afternoon off and, yep, drove to Perez...
Thanks for all the replies...interesting stuff. Did you happen to take some pictures of the Glass Mountain Pumice hoppers that you could post? And thanks for...
I did take one pic of a GMP hopper but it would be off-topic for me to post in this group - I'll email it to you. I suppose that the mailing address for...
Any word on when these units will leave for the Modoc? We are planning to take the first two weeks of August as vacation, hanging out with relatives at Falcon...
The latest word from NRE is the 650 has been completed. The 650 is scheduled to be released early next week for Klamath Falls. The 651...another story. In...
Glad to hear that business is good down your way, Don. Shortline success is all about diversity, in my opinion, and it seems that the MNRR is doing well in...
Until such time as they start sending the Coast Starlight through the slide area near Oakridge, Amtrak has been turning the train at Texum. Arrives Klamath...
... Interesting - the picture of the first train on the H&N website showed the Starlight consist facing south. I know on occasion in the past the train went...
I just rode the northbound up from Martinez on Friday night / Saturday morning. I could not believe that they arrived ahead of schedule into Martinez and...
The group here has been pretty idle again of late -- not much to talk about I guess until the twins arrive. But I'll be going out with a friend on Monday and...
... Forgive me if this is a well worn subject, but does MNRR run on weekends, or is it still as described back in September, i.e. Tule Lake into KFS early each...
Hi Evan, I don't know what the current schedules are but I have seen the 1011 in the Klamath Falls yard on various Saturdays. Sorry I can't be more precise. ...
... Not really....both units have been done for some time. But the new main generator for the 650 has delayed the ship date. Both units also received new...
Sweet! So how much over-the-road service will this unit see? Since they are close to the same weight and tractive effort of a GP9 are we to assume that it...
Long about 6:00 pm I caught the 700 leaving Klamath Falls. Pretty close to 50 cars, plus the caboose. They pulled out of KF long hood first, then cut the...

I thought only the cops in Lakeview were paranoid...side comment...I have been all over the Alturas area photographing trains and have never been bothered even...
Spent several hours yesterday a few miles west (*south, on the map) of Lakeview watching the track gang working on a soft spot. Equipment included the 700...
