Western Railroad Discussion > The "Coast Starlight" along Klamath LakeDate: 08/14/20 20:34 The "Coast Starlight" along Klamath Lake Author: photobob I took this a few years ago of the Seattle bound "Coast Starlight" along Klamath Lake. On this clear morning Mt Shasta could be seen rising in the background.

Going north, by the time one reached Modoc Point the car is pretty buggy! Great shot! Regards, Jim Evans Date: 08/14/20 21:08 Re: The "Coast Starlight" along Klamath Lake Author: tomstp Try running in to love bugs in southeast Texas. Car will get black quick.

Date: 08/14/20 21:24 Re: The "Coast Starlight" along Klamath Lake Author: SCUfoamer Now this is quite nice. I remember this place as, "almost to Train Mountain" - IIRC there is a small quarry/rock pile that you can switch back up at this location?

Date: 08/14/20 22:22 Re: The "Coast Starlight" along Klamath Lake Author: coach Those buys that emerge from the water are called "midges", and be glad you're in a car. Just imagine being on a motorcycle............

I made that mistake once. Ran out of windshield washer fluid trying to clean them off. Had to stop in Klamath Falls at one of those self service car washes to clean just the front of the car off.
