Western Railroad Discussion > 3985 heading for DunsmuirDate: 09/05/05 18:20 3985 heading for Dunsmuir Author: photobob I just got back from following 3985 up the Sacramento River Canyon from Lakehead to Soda Creek. In the first two shots it is shown crossing a low Lake Shasta near Lakehead.

sphogger Date: 09/05/05 19:03 Re: 3985 heading for Dunsmuir Author: mc5725 Not sure which I'd be more eager to photograph- the 3985 or the 1983. Great photos.
Date: 09/05/05 19:03 Re: 3985 heading for Dunsmuir Author: mmciau Wonderful shots of the consist.
What is also very noticeable is that the rail and ties are in "meticulous" condition - there does not seem to be a distortion/level deviation in any of the rail and the sub-grade in the series of shots. Mike Date: 09/05/05 19:14 Re: 3985 heading for Dunsmuir Author: samreeves AC4400CWGEVO Wrote:

Date: 09/05/05 19:57 Re: 3985 heading for Dunsmuir Author: alex14ramos Great stuff Bob, love that first one. Just late last night me and a friend decided to take 14 north to Sacto from Oakland, where my friend would pick us up there at the depot, and we would then chase 3985 North, had to end the chase at Tehama, still cool though.
