Nostalgia & History > A little Feather River Canyon flashbackDate: 04/21/06 19:14 A little Feather River Canyon flashback Author: photobob Same location different railroads both just history. The first shot was taken in the early 60's the other later on that decade. Which color scheme do you prefer? Its amazing how a photo location can change in just a few years. Up here in Dunsmuir shots I took years ago can no longer be taken because of all the growth and I dont mean housing.

The location still looks pretty much the same now. Adam Date: 04/21/06 19:45 Re: A little Feather River Canyon flashback Author: alco636 photobob Wrote:

Yes, I like them both. But BN did not exist until 1970, so it couldn't have been taken in the 60's; indeed from the "weathering" that has been applied to all those BN boxcars, I would guess the BN picture could not have been taken until the 1980's. Date: 04/21/06 21:30 Re: A little Feather River Canyon flashback Author: photobob Due to my accurate note taking I think I was off by more then a decade. Somewhere in the haze of my brain the 70's slipped right by me. Thanks for the corrections.

Nice pics Bob and I agree with the guys, both are great and it was awsome when it was a variety of railroads. Railfanning was so much fun then!
