Nostalgia & History > Seeking maps of Oro Dam RR and Butte & Plumas RyDate: 04/22/24 16:10 Seeking maps of Oro Dam RR and Butte & Plumas Ry Author: zephyrus Wondering if there are any maps online showing the routes of the Oro Dam Constructors Railroad and the Butte and Plumas Railway (narrow gauge feeder to the Swayne Lumber Company.
Thank you! Z Date: 04/22/24 16:56 Re: Seeking maps of Oro Dam RR and Butte & Plumas Ry Author: Red_over_Yellow Guessing you have probably found this for the ODC RR but if not. It's an interesting look.

I hope you can find one. It showed every detail of Northern California Mountains and even the McCloud River Railroad with the GN connection.

Never seen that B&P map. I'll need to find that book. I saw a print copy of an ODCRR map once but don't recall all the details. Z |
