Calpine Box Mill to Portola, CA

Date: 08-22-2011 - 08:24

A few years back I purchased a piece of property in Calpine, CA. At one time there was a box mill on my neighbors place and several small cabins on my place that some of the workers lived in as well as some of the RR employees. From what I understand a rail ran to Portola. A section of the old RR bed is on my property. what I am looking for is any history and possibly any pictures you might want to share. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Google earth shows portions of the old rail line. Tracks have been removed. Calpine, CA, North sise of Calpine Road between A23 and Hwy 49/89
