I was told a couple of years ago that Lake co. owned it all along. I'm not sure who actualy owned it then. But either way Great Western ran it with there locos (GP7,GP9 of UP heritage) <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Chad, <br /> <br />Enjoyed your post on Lake County's railroad. The year that the Lakeview branch was sold to the county was 1986. Some Oregon State Lotto money was used towards this purchase by the county. <br /> <br />Here is a photo from my collection that shows the construction of the cut that SP 3773 is moving through. This being taken from the opposite side of the cut looking roughly west. <br /> <br />[img]http://home.att.net/~lassen.logger/photo/maxey.jpg[/img] <br /> <br /> <br />Jim
