Viewing Album:  Railfanning The NorCal Coast
 
By:Lucas Connor
Dates:7/19/2019 - 7/19/2019
Album Info:Northern California's Pacific Coast has been dotted with railroads since the 1800s. Over the course of time, these smaller railroads merged into larger ones, and expanded from the north end of the San Francisco to Eureka, 270 miles further north. The Northwestern Pacific Railroad was one of these lines, which ran from Santa Rosa to Eureka. This album will include images taken across the North Bay, and follow the NWP mainline along the coast to Eureka. Also included will be SMART commuter services between Larkspur and Santa Rosa, and California WEstern "Skunk Train" operations between the NWP junction in Willits and Fort Bragg.

California Western 65
Title:  California Western 65
Description:  California Western 65 leads a passenger train across Pine Street in downtown Fort Bragg. The California Western, more commonly known as the Skunk Train, is a tourist and freight railroad between Fort Bragg and Willits. Famed for its "Skunk" motorcars, the railroad operates tourist trains from both Fort Bragg and Willits. GP9 65 was built in 1954 for the Texas & New Orleans railroad, a subsidiary of Southern Pacific. The engine entered SP ownership in the early 1960s, before coming to the CWR from Kyle Railroad of Kansas.
