California's northeastern corner is dominated by the 14,162-foot-tall presence of Mount Shasta. On the southeastern flank of the great mountain lies the picturesque town of McCloud. The McCloud River Railroad established its operational headquarters in the town in 1897. The next seven decades saw the railroad and the affiliated McCloud River Lumber Company carve hundreds of miles of railroad into the pine forests and lava beds east of McCloud, eventually reaching as far as Lookout to the east and the Burney Basin to the south. The McCloud River Railroad eked out a living hauling lumber, diatomaceous earth, and occasional tourists until 1992, when the new McCloud Railway Company purchased the property. In 1996, the new owners launched the Shasta Sunset Dinner Train to supplement the declining freight business. Economic conditions forced the railroad to abandon the entire railway east of McCloud in 2006, but the dinner train has kept rolling, keeping the rails west of McCloud shiny.

"Great book. Well written and chock-a-block with pictures from the era. I was exploring the old rail bed around Pondosa and found the Red Goose and wanted to know more about it. Maybe some day rail will return, this is a beautiful area and excursions would seem welcome."

- Great book. Well written and chock-a-block with pictures from the era. I was exploring the old rail bed around Pondosa and found the Red Goose and wanted to know more about it. Maybe some day rail will return, this is a beautiful area and excursions would seem welcome.
- Enjoyed reading this historic book.
- Great book for a model rail road on logging. Lots of pictures to get ideas from. Highly recommend if you are looking for inspiration.
