In October 2015, we rode an excursion up the Feather River Canyon and BNSF Inside Gateway. Day 1 was Sacramento to Westwood, California, where the train spent the night and passengers were bused to hotels in nearby Susanville. The second day of the trip saw us ride the rest of the Hi Line to Klamath Falls and then proceed on to Chemult, Oregon, where passengers had the choice of taking a bus to a live steam railway, Train Mountain, or a bus to Crater Lake or just riding the train back to K Falls, where it spent the night. We opted for Crater Lake and were not disappointed.
That night, we took the Coast Starlight back home. 2 of us had work that day, or we might have ridden back on the excursion as it recreated SP's Shasta Daylight on a daytime scheduled by Mt Shasta and down the Sacramento River Canyon.
In the photo, the excursion is stopped at Klamath Falls awaiting a new crew, just before merging onto the UP line from the BNSF. In the distance, behind the CZ dome obs on the end, is a BNSF freight waiting to follow us north.
