I have never seen the McCloud railway but I hope the speeder group has some people that will take pics and let us know where we can view them... would be nice to see.
I lived on Lake Whatcom in Bellingham and when GN/NP merged, they pulled up the NP track from Bellingham to Wickersham. I missed the entire removal as I was working in Alaska; my father had worked for GN and when the GN crews were near our house on Lake Whatcom, they stopped for lunch every day at our place. Sad to see that get torn out and never got the chance to walk the tracks except the North end of the lake and over the trestle.
So hope the group has a great time on the McCloud!
BTW, anyone know anyone that would have any pics, etc of the NP in Bellingham?
Thanks
