On 1 November 2005 Union Pacific leased the north end of the old SP Modoc Line between Klamath
Falls and Alturas to a new shortline, the Modoc Northern. In May 2009 Union Pacific terminated
Modoc Northern's lease on the line and has resumed operating to Alturas themselves. Modoc Northern
is appealing this decision.
Craig Bass has done an excellent job
covering the brief life of this railroad, and High Desert Rails sees no need to duplicate his fine efforts.
