Railfan Corner

The first picture (the "before" view) is from the Charles M. Haines collection, shown on page 146 of Pine Across the Mountain, by Robert M. Hanft, showing the "Vinegar Valley Express", a homemade railbus that carried loggers to camps in the woods, made by the McCloud River Railroad. The following photos (the "after" view) were taken at its "final resting place" east of McCloud on Jan. 1, 2000.
