To see damage to the train tracks in the Feather River Canyon during the flood of 97, search for flooding in the Feather River Canyon or "1997 New Years Flood in Plumas County Trailer"
I got to operate that engine (without the caboose train of course). I once took a trip down there and "rented" it for an hour. My Dad, my brother, and me all got an hour operating time. It was an experience of a lifetime, I recommend it to anyone!
Last time I was at rail days in Portola was in the year 2005. UP 1983 was there and it was brand spanken new at the time. In 2004 I got a cab ride on the caboose train around the loop. There is an area of the loop by the UP yard called "Malfunction Junction" LOL! Doubt I will make it to this years rail days in Portola.
What kind of horn was that?
