Feather River Shortline Railroad
Feather River Shortline
Railroad
On our Train Trip to Oregon and California from July 30 to
August 8 1999, one stop we made was to the Feather River Shortline
Railroad. This small 4 mile trip was great, mainly for the reason
that I got us a cab ride! Started talking to the engineer, asking
questions, in the end, he invites me and George Quiles into the
cab for the trip, about 40 minutes! The ride itself is very scenic
and relaxing. There is a small 600 or 800 foot long tunnel on
the route. Going through it in the cab, well, lets just say it
got to about 150°F in there very quickly. Just wanted to thank
the engineer for allowing me to ride up with him, thanks...
