Nostalgia & History > My first trip to the McCloud RR 1963Date: 02/22/21 14:02 My first trip to the McCloud RR 1963 Author: photobob The first time I ever photographed the McCloud RR was June 22. 1963. The Pacific Locomotive Assn, ran a fan trip from McCloud to Burney and back I don't remember how I got up there from the City or how I was able to chase it but here is one of the shots. Its #25 shortly after it left Burney on its return trip to McCloud. I have no idea where I was.

I've got a page built about the event on my website at http://www.mccloudriverrailroad.com/PassengerOperations/McCloudRiverRattler.htm Thanks for posting the photo.

from high school and that was a long time ago! Out Date: 02/22/21 15:27 Re: My first trip to the McCloud RR 1963 Author: TCnR Great looking photo, lots top see.
That dark cloud seems to be still hanging around though. t4p. Date: 02/22/21 15:32 Re: My first trip to the McCloud RR 1963 Author: billmeeker Neat photo. Cheap seats in the boxcar... maybe the theme was "Be a hobo for a day."

Was this the Winter MCRR did a plow trip and had to rescue 25 with a Baldwin after air pump issues? I ask because a friend was on that rip. —Mac Edited 1 time(s).

I also have a photo page of that excursion on the website at the following:
