Nostalgia & History > A Modoc Northern memoryDate: 05/24/17 20:06 A Modoc Northern memory Author: photobob Remember the Modoc Northern? Here's a shot I took of it leaving Malone, Oregon heading for Klamath Falls back on April 18, 2009. Little did I know that it would shut down not long after I took this shot.

Originally built as Bessemer & Lake Erie units. After their Modoc Northern stint, they were sold to Western Rail. A post on TO from December 2015 said they were both in Washington. https://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?1,3902488,3902488#msg-3902488 Date: 05/25/17 04:02 Re: A Modoc Northern memory Author: refarkas Very creative image.
