Western Railroad Discussion > Coast Starlight at Shasta Retreat a few minutes ago

The Sacramento River was rolling pretty fast through Shasta Retreat this morning after last nights downpour. Amtrak was a couple of hours late after some some slow running along the river on the lookout for rock slides.

Yea, its a blow out! Not the best 200-400cfps for fishing that I'm used too!

The rain we've been getting here in CA has been really something. Hasn't rained this hard in quite some time. I'm not surprised at all that the Starlight is running late. I'm actually surprised it hasn't been annuled due to all of the mud slip-sliding around the hills up there.

I'm riding that train February 1, and this will be the third or fourth time on it and I am really looking forward to it. Running late is a good thing for me so that we have breakfast before getting to Emeryville!!

Bob. Nice photo,look's like the Sac is flowing!

Yes the rain has been coming down. I got between 2 and 3 inches just last night,up here in Bieber Ca. BNSF has been running a lot of train's yesterday and today with 4 so far in light, on the Inside Gateway. Bill

Read on news that Mt. Shasta may get record snowfall this winter...Button down the hatches, Mr. PhotoBob!- Steve in Grossmont, CA where we need some rain!

Button UP, Batten down. Met mixafores, I think.

I REALLY like Pic 1!!!

I assume that's No. 14, as No. 11 would be more than a couple of hours late if it was at this location.
