Description

Followed this train along the Feather River Scenic Byway, on our trip to Quincy Calif. It is a beautiful drive with many small towns along the way, train tunnels, bridges, campgrounds, fishing, hiking, and water falls as it winds its way along the north and middle fork of the feather river. The tracks were built in 1906 and parallels the highway, and these tracks carry trains from east to west (Utah to the coast and Oregon!) *T&P*
