OK. Made you look!
I would love to see the "Blue Goose" make runs up to Hornbrook, Hilt or all the way to the Siskiyou Summit. I can imagine the YW purchasing the line from Weed to the summit- unfortunately, the cold reality is setting in.
But, it would be nice to ride a Baldwin at speed (faster) or listen to it fight the grade, slip the wheels and be carefully manipulated by the engineer on a challenging course. I'm sure most of you can agree that it would be a heck of a ride....
I know money is tight on the YW, but cant any rich celebrity help bring a railfan's dream to reality? Maybe only one special trip?
