Dunsmuir Railroad Days
Author: odub

Dunsmuir Railroad Days actually centered on railroads this year. UP, Feather River Historical Society (name?), Sacramento State RR Museum, and the Motorcar Operators West all had equipment for folks to climb on. The parade was pure Siskiyou County.

UP even ran trains to liven things up even more.

Was a pretty good turnout. Merchants along Sacramento Street indicated this was the best turn-out in several years and attributed it to the real railroad equipment just across the street.

There was even comic relief - as with this woman snapping her friends exit from the Port-o-let.

Not by chance but I read your request last night and got a couple shots this afternoon before I headed back home. Here's the spreader and flanger in Dunsmuir:

The high plow spreader went back into it's parking place last night, thought it was being donated for a moment, the FRRS power was moving it around.

Who had the Milwaukee Road baseball cap?
Wasn't able to determine who was who. I'm the balding guy with the beer belly and a camera, should have worn my Hawian shirt.
