McCloud Rails: Photos by George Landrock |
|
George Landrock hired out as an engineer on the McCloud River Railroad in 1974. He worked for the railroad from then until July of 1977, when he took a leave of absence to go to work for the Oregon, California & Eastern Railroad out of Klamath Falls, OR. George continued to work for the McCloud on an occassional, as-needed basis until about 1978 or 1979. After a stint on the OC&E he went to work for Burlington Northern. He is currently a locomotive engineer with Amtrak in western Washington. These are photos he took of the railroad through the years. |
