Mount Shasta and the McCloud Railway

            I always thought that if the McCloud River Railroad had been a bit closer to San Francisco, it would have gotten a fair amount of the movie work and the fame that went to the Sierra Railroad. Alas, it was just a little too far from the beaten track (except its own, of course) to rate a lot of attention from Tinseltown.

When the big sawmill at McCloud closed for good in 1979, the railroad was on short time. Amazingly, when this Kodachrome was exposed in October 1999 , MR had somehow managed to scrape along for two decades. However, the fact that the McCloud was maintaining 125 miles of railroad for only two shippers was a strong indicator that eventually the clock would run out. 

In 2006, it finally did.
