A contractor fuels the power for an Amtrak special in Redding, California on Mothers Day 1990. The two-day "Shasta Daylight 1990" operated between Portland, Oregon and Redding. It covered the Shasta Route in daytime hours, a marked contrast to Amtrak's Coast Starlight. As its name implies, the regular Amtrak service between Portland and Redding operated during the night through most of the Northern California territory traversed by the special train.
After the passengers detrained upon arrival in Redding on Saturday evening, the train was taken south to Tehama, turned on the wye there, and returned to Redding to spend the night. This move can no longer be made today, as Union Pacific has removed the wye connection track at Tehama.
Once the fueling operation was completed, the train was spotted at Redding's station to entrain passengers for the return to Portland. Needless to say, getting a spotless, brand new Cotton Bett GP60 on an Amtrak train was a treat. The SSW 9701 was one month old when it was assigned to this trip.
I captured this image while on a very early morning walk in an area known as the Sacramento Riverbend area of Tehama County, California, USA. This is very near the town of Red Bluff, and it is place I enjoy hiking around and exploring. This scene was captured at dawn on an early March morning while looking across the largest body of water in the area, known as Hog Lake. I was struck by the wonderful tones in the sky and the way the slight haze in the air provided layers in the mountains beyond the silhouetted trees on the far shoreline. The taller peaks in the deepest layer of the image are Mount Lassen and Chaos Crags, in Lassen Volcanic National Park. The park is probably only 20-30 “airline” miles from where I was standing.

Southern Pacific's West Valley Subdivision is undoubtedly one of SP's more interesting lines. This lightly used mainline was a secondary to the East Valley, which SP preferred for its direct connection to Roseville. Meanwhile, the West Valley completely bypassed Roseville, running an almost completely straight line for around 110 miles between Davis and Tehama. I should note that timetables show the West Valley as running between Davis and Dunsmuir, but from what I've seen over the years most people refer to the Dunsmuir to Tehama section simply as the Valley. South of Tehama is where traffic was scarce, with not many trains needing to be routed over this part of the line. However, some regular trains included MUG trains (empty lumber trains such as WCEUM), OABRT/BROAT (Oakland - Portland TOFC), LABRT/BRLAT (LA - Portland TOFC), some locals such as the Woodland Switcher, and the Coast Starlight. The line also would see unit sugar beet trains, a service which was one of many things SP was known for.
Not surprisingly, by 1990 the line was on a steep decline. Many of the regular trains had been rerouted to the East Valley, customers in the small communities were finding other means of transport, branches like the Colusa Branch were gone or just barely holding on, and SP didn't see a reason to continue holding onto operations of the line. Since there was still some need for rail service though, in 1993 a new shortline called the California Northern would start a long term lease from SP, acquiring three sections of track. These lines were the connecting Schellville and Vallejo Branches, along with the former NWP to Willits, the West Side from Tracy to Los Banos, and the West Valley from Davis to Tehama. California Northern was founded by the Park-Sierra Rail Group. The railroad quickly became known for their West Valley operations, along with being armed with a roster of former CNW GP15s painted into cream and green, which was the Park-Sierra paint scheme. Later in 2002, Rail America would buy the railroad, but it still stayed mostly the same. However, despite the shortline running everything, SP and later UP still had a presence on the line. Throughout the years there was an interchange of sugar beet trains until the last one to Woodland ran on December 28, 2000. (Look up GolfingJamiethephotog on YouTube if you want to see the last runs of the beet trains.)
In 2012 the California Northern was seeing changes. Genesee and Wyoming bought Rail America and quickly things started changing on the California Northern. Shockingly, all these years the old searchlights were in operation, but eventually the majority were either replaced with new heads, turned, or the heads were completely removed altogether. The old roster of GP15s also got sent off or retired, with the last three GP15s remaining on the property being 1568, 1569, and 1570, with 68 and 69 being scrapped in 2019 while 70 was retired earlier this year. Over the years, new power also arrived in the form of a GP38-2 and some KLW locomotives. At the same time, unit trains were making a return in the form of gypsum, and recently even those are seeing their own changes.
The gypsum trains originate in Empire, NV, which is on a spur off the former WP in Gerlach. These trains typically run to a couple places in the valley such as Fresno and Famoso, but a couple times per year would make their way to Hamilton City. The facility in Hamilton City is where Holly Sugar facility once operated, and was one of the places the sugar beet trains went to. As of recently, gypsum trains are now seeing a new destination on the West Side, another California Northern operated line. For the West Valley, however, these gypsum trains recently are now terminating in Artois rather than Hamilton City. The reason for this is due to the way the Hamilton City branch is set up, which requires a crew to pull cars on the main to the switch so a crew on the branch can take the cars to Hamilton City. These trains get well over a hundred cars and only about twenty to thirty can go up to be unloaded at a time, combine that with a ten mile per hour speed limit, and that's a lot of time and money to unload a single train. The solution was to have the trains terminate at Artois, while some cars get unloaded there, some are brought to Hamilton City. This cuts the time in half for unloading, which means less money spent on crews and a faster turnaround time for the railroad. So far this has been the second gypsum to operate this way.
The gypsum photographed here was an interesting situation. On recent runs, UP units have been leading both directions instead of being taken back to Davis immediately after arriving to their destination, which is what used to happen. This time around, the train was given a new leader, which had to do with a previous motor failing on the train. When the westbound left Empire, originally there was a third motor that was facing east, but the batteries were failing which caused the unit to struggle to stay online. After being dropped in Roseville, the train continued with two west facing motors. After arriving to Artois, the power had nowhere to turn around, it was about 100 to the nearest wye as the one in Tehama has had the east leg cut for many years, which left Davis as the only area to turn the power around. However, in case running long hood forward didn't already sound like enough of a pain, it gets worse. The AC44 rebuild that had to lead the southbound trip had no radios and no conductor side mirror. With empty cuts of cars blocking the main at Artois and UP putting a lot of pressure on California Northern to return the train, running the SD70M around wasn't much of an option either, besides UP needed the SD70M to lead over their own tracks anyways due to the AC44's lack of radios. But regardless of which unit led, there was also the problem that neither unit was equipped with rear ditchlights, meaning the train would have to run at restricted speed. Thankfully, the crew did not have to run like this for long since Cortena was only around thirty miles away. At Cortena, there was a genset which the crew put on point so the train could run track speed and not have to deal with the lack of visibility. Once the new leader was on, the SD70M was shut off and then the train took off for Davis.
The photo seen above is a an almost perfect scene of the West Valley, with a giant silo soaring above the flat land, telegraph poles lined up along the tracks, signals in the background, and a train, the only thing missing from the scene are the Sutter Buttes, which are visible for a good chunk of the trip. This shot is one I've wanted to do for years, but with a lack of a shoulder on the side of the road and how rarely I get out this way, it can make it hard to do a lot of these shots. I did manage to find a small area just big enough for my friend and I to park our cars as the train was throttling up. Making my way to the tack, I was met with a scene that looked better than I had imagined it would look, and this bucket list shot was finally checked off. Throughout this chase I did manage to knock off a few other bucket list shots, which mostly included turned searchlights. With two friends working the train (one helped build the train, the other is the engineer seen in the photo), a few people chasing, and lots of interesting shots, this chase was one of the best I've had in awhile.
Something a bit different, but the traffic cones still get everywhere, even in America. .
Lassen Peak began as a volcanic vent on Mount Tehama's northern flank. Considered the world's largest plug dome volcano, it rises 600 meters (2,000 feet) to an elevation of 3,207 meters (10,457 feet).
Not how you imagine California to be :-)
I captured this image in Tehama County, California, USA. It features the autumn vibrance of some new growth atop a hill in a 12 year old forest fire burn scar on a very misty and moody day.
In light of the particularly brutal fire season California just had I found it a poignant scene.

Morelli was an Italian coachbuilding firm based in Ferrara and active in the 1950s and the 1960s, making primarily Aluminum bodies for OSCA. Of the some 200 cars produced by OSCA, perhaps 80 were MT4 models, and of the MT4 models, records show 40 Spiders with Morelli of Ferrara bodies. All five OSCA FS 372 Spiders (an updated version of the MT4) were bodied by Morelli.[3][4]

This image was captured on a misty October day on the Deer Creek Trail in Tehama County, California, USA. The trail, designated 4E15, meanders through dense woodland along the side of Deer Creek, which flows through much of Tehama before its ultimate confluence with the mighty Sacramento River. This area is quite beautiful year round but it can be very special when the big leaf maples, oaks, and other deciduous flora is in its autumn splendor.
I found this scene particularly striking as I stood atop a bit of a rock precipice and looked down upon the creek flowing under a fallen log, between bright golden autumn leaves, and ultimately in to the mist beyond.
CP 7034 slowly rolls over the trestle crossing the Sacramento River at Tehama. The year 1929 cut into the trusses show the age of the bridge although the bridge is much older.
Deer Creek hiking trail designated 4E15 in Tehama County, Northern California, USA. This image was captured late on an autumn afternoon as the oaks, Big Leaf Maples, and other deciduous trees were in full autumn splendor. I really liked the way the already fallen leaves and mossy stones really added atmosphere to the scene.

I liked the way the light played off the clouds and this dead scrub oak in Tehama County, Northern California. As the scene was already quite dramatic and somewhat ominous looking, I chose to process the image for a sort of "cinematic" look.

Drinking is the unofficial rule of Bay to Breakers. A marathon is not a street fair. If you are going to encourage drinking then the City needs to pick a specific location with finite parameters and keep people there to gather and party.
The nature of the event does not work with how the "race" is organized and moves through the city. Check out more photos from Tahoma99 here: sfist.com/2010/05/17/bay_to_breakers_runners_use_tehama.p...
If it's a race, there shouldn't be drinking, if its a parade, there shouldn't be drinking, if its a street fair, bare it all, freedom love fest, move it to the Polo Fields for a frolicking good time. But letting this mess move through the streets of SF knowing that over 30k have no official connection to the race but will be showing up creates a public need for adequate resources like bathrooms. There is no way around the fact that we have 60k or more people drinking and swarming our neighborhoods and behaving rudely, disrespectfully and aggressively.

Looking south across Manzanita Lake towards the still snow-covered peak of Mount Lassen, in late spring. This is the northern end of Lassen Volcanic National Park, an oft-overlooked jewel in northern California, where the Sierra Nevada meets the Cascade Range.
The lake is at about 5,800 feet (1768 meters) of elevation, while the summit of Lassen is at 10,457 ft (3187 m). Lassen is the southernmost volcano in the Cascades, and with a volume of 0.5 cu miles (2 km3), it is one of the largest lava domes on Earth. The volcanic eruptions of 1914-17 devastated the northeast slopes of the mountain, but left this side relatively unscathed. Mount Lassen has the highest known winter snowfall amounts in California, with an average annual snowfall of 660 inches (1,676 cm), and in some years, more than 1,000 inches (2,500 cm) of snow falls at its base altitude of 8,250 ft (2,515 m) at Lake Helen. The Lassen area receives more precipitation (rain, sleet, hail, snow, etc.) than anywhere in the Cascade Range south of the Three Sisters volcanoes in Oregon. The heavy annual snowfall here has created fourteen permanent patches of snow on and around the mountain top, despite Lassen's rather modest elevation, but no glaciers.

A loaded sugar beet train from the Klamath Basin has arrived at Tehama, California. Besides being the junction where Southern Pacific's West and East Valley Lines diverged, Tehama was the spot where SP interchanged beet trains to shortline California Northern. When the CFNR arrives with empties from the beet refinery, power on this KFCNU (Klamath Falls - California Northern Unit train) will cut off, grab the empties, and depart eastward after an air test.
Fall 1993 was the only beet campaign that featured the ancient wood beet racks running on the 'new' CFNR, which had assumed operation of several SP lines a few months earlier. Unfortunately for my friend John Shaw and me, this train has a healthy cut of new steel beet racks right behind the power. After a few photos of the handoff, we decided it was time to cut and run for home in Portland.
The appearance of SP 7301 strongly suggests that noted railfan Dick Dorn had induced a crew on an earlier run to allow him to wipe down the road grime on the front of the unit. Dick's 'nose jobs' enhanced the photogenic potential of the SP warhorses on the beet trains, while also cleaning the windshields to improve visibility for the crew.
