UP"s Williams Loop (The OTHER railroad loop in CA)
Author: cinder

20 years ago, I caught my only train on the Williams Loop south of Quincy, CA.  The pictures are scanned 4x6 prints taken in July 2000..

1.  Eastbound manifest heads into the loop towards Portola.
2. "It's a wrap".
3.  Heads or tails, I win.

Here is my (old) picture of Williams loop (a scanned slide from about 1982)

Ok, let's look back another 31 years from Cinder's visit in 2000 to May 1969.  The woods were thinner then and the power was WP and I was a year out of the Navy.   A series of four photos of a westbound.
