Yes, Indeed they appear to be no longer operating. According to a message from the signal maintainer for the MNRR the phones and water have been turned off at the headquaters in Tule Lake. Employees have not been paid since the end of March. The fuel account has been terminated. UP has informed him that they will be taking over the K. Falls - Alturas portion of the line. Lake County will now have the Lakeview Branch again. It's really too bad for the employees who got left high and dry. Don Blancett CEO has not been seen or heard from in some time by the employees. There are several large bills including lease payments to UP and Lake County which have not been paid as well. I guess another shortline bites the dust.
