Nostalgia & History > McCloud in Better Days

In June of 1984 and in the earlier paint scheme we find McCloud River 38 and 37 shuffling
around Shasta City, CA after dropping off their train. Pretty much all crap now (thanks and
credit to Photobob).

In theory, there's still two locomotives on the property and the tracks are still in place all the way to McCloud. Doesn't sound good though, 'in theory' the locomotives would have been out of there last year.

Sure was a cool place to chase trains.Oh well.Thanks for posting.Bill Webb

Just to confuse things a bit more there are three California Cities using "Shasta" in their names.
What this post should have stated was Mt. Shasta. Then of course there is the fairly new Shasta Lake City
which is also on the Shasta line and then the true Shasta City which is located some 3 miles west of Redding
and has never had a rail line. Sorting mail for these cities by name is always fun thus ZIP Codes to the
rescue.
