The overhaul of the site's content continues, this time focusing on the Equipment Roster and McCloud River Lumber Company sections. As with the Along the Line update from last month, much new information and many new pages have been added, and a lot of images from the early days of McCloud Rails have been rescanned or replaced by better photos. Changed Front Page Photo New Pages: Equipment Roster section completely overhauled as described above Lumber Company section completely overhauled as described above Memorial Day 2001 Excursion Updated information on the following page: Several locomotive pages got better scans of existing photos.

I noted back in July future plans to overhaul the Along the Line and Equipment sections. Along the Line has now been completed. The section has been completely reorganized into each segment of the common carrier as they were built, with new maps showing line changes. Recorded structure and facilities owned by the railroads have been listed for each station. Numerous new pages and photos have been added, and many images from the early days of McCloud Rails have been rescanned or replaced by better photos. Changed Front Page Photo New Pages: Along the Line section completely overhauled as described above Lidgerwood Skidder Updated information on the following page: McGiffert Loaders- Also moved this page from Lumber Company to Equipment sections Locomotive #14 Locomotive #15 Locomotive #17:2 Locomotive #21 Locomotive #22 Locomotive #23 Locomotive #26 Locomotive #31 Narrow Gauge Locomotive #3 (99?)

One of my long term goals with this site has been to gradually work through some of the older pages to rescan some of the original images from when I first created McCloud Rails back in 2003 and otherwise correct or update information. I have been gradually doing that in the Locomotive Roster section, and today's update includes a complete renovation of the Passenger Operations section, with several new pages and updates to information or photos on nearly every other page. I've also done some photo replacing and/or other updates on a few other pages. The next sections I plan to overhaul are Along The Line and Equipment Roster. Changed Front Page Photo New Pages: Completely overhauled Passenger Operations section BNSF working on Lookout Line McCloud Railway Tenth Anniversary Updated information on the following page: Locomotive #5/6 Locomotive #8 Locomotive #9 Locomotive #18 Ahnapee & Western Pit River Railroad McGiffert Loaders Pipe Dreams Display Train |

In early 2003 a desire to chronicle the history of railroading in McCloud, California, prompted me to start the McCloud Rails site on Trainweb. In 2005, Craig Nolan launched a site of his own at this domain. Our two sites coexisted for many years. Recently, Craig decided to move on to other pursuits, and he offered the domain name to me. I decided to move McCloud Rails over to this domain, which has become effective today. I've reset the Updates sections to reflect only changes made to the site after this date. The old McCloud Rails site will stay up, but all future updates and improvements will be done on this site for as long as I decide to keep the domain active. |
