From an article in the March 2012 edition of Trains Magazine, page 63, "Preservation Briefs":
"California Short Line, 2-8-2 up for sale"
"Want to buy a railroad? A Northern California real estate company is listing the 9-mile Yreka Western Railroad for sale, including 2-8-2 No. 19, which operated in tourist service until 2009. Asking price for the depot and shop is $729,000; No. 19 is listed at $900,000, and 4 miles of track are available for $600,000.
Yreka Western has been embroiled in litigation involving its owner, the Rocky Mountain Mining and Railway Museum, and its principal, Court Hammond.
