About 20 years ago, I was an active motor car owner/operator and ran on the upper section of the Sierra...sometimes with permission & sometimes not. It was becoming evident back then that newly transplanted NIMBY homeowners were increasing in numbers & that there probably never be any more actual train operation above Standard to Ralph & Tuolumne. I accepted this and was glad for what I was able to do.
Getting back to the Pickering...it still remains an incredibly fascinating piece of railroad to hike over. Anybody with a sincere interest in logging should try to experience it before it gets too difficult to hike over.
