Nostalgia & History > Boxcar BluesDate: 11/03/12 11:51 Boxcar Blues Author: Norris With the de-reulation of the railroads in 1980 "per diem" cars like the Pickens R.R. boxcars were disappearing quickly.
Picture 1: Oregon and Northwestern was gone in 1984 and their cars with hit. Picture taken Oct. 1980. Picture 2: Yreka Western is not gone but is going due to CORP not running over the Siskiypus. Picture taken Nov. 1980. Picture 3: McCloud River Railroad is not gone either but is dying slowly. I was in McCloud several months ago and there is no business, and the railroad appears moribund. Picture taken Oct. 1980. -Long Bell Bob |
