The old SP station is located at
the corner of Cestnut
and Rockfellow Dr. It appears to
have been
moved from it's original location,
but I'm not sure
of this. It has been restored.
First thing I noticed
was the cast iron crossbucks displayed
in
front of the building.
About a half mile north of the
station on the same street (old US 99) is where the Mc Cloud River joins
with the UP.
It looks like the north leg of
the wye has been removed, as it is shown on the map,
but I could not locate it. Black
Butte is in the background.
The next crossing east of the junction is the Everrit Memorial Hwy crossing. Mt. Shasta in background again. Regretably I saw no trains, didn't have much time to hang around. |
For the signal nerds (myself included) I snapped this shot of the same crossing. It's becomming increasingly rare to find a compltete set of Union Switch and Signal flashers complete with "teardrop" bells. Not to mention that "Stop on red signal" sign! |
As I headed north along old US
99, I ecountered
my first CORP train! The Weed Switcher,
or "Weed Wacker" heads south at
Granada.
Fronted by GP-38 3828.
