I don't. I only go through the canyon once in a blue moon. I think I have some video around the Virgilia / Richbar area. I have done a bit of gold panning on the North Fork by Beldentown a few times over the years (there is some nice color in that area!). The last time I was there I had my camera and took some non RR shots but there was a fire that had 70 closed down by the dam and when it opened I had to get out of there before they closed it again. One of these days I want to go do some Feather river railfanning and check in with the museum, I havn't been to the museum in a few years.

In the Feather River Canyon, where the line passes under that road bridge.

I think this is the most scenic shot in the USA.

You got it. It's the split at the bottom of Ash Hill. Good job. Ready for another?

"The Road To Bagdad" in the 12-93 CTC Board has some great pictures.

It's not Tehachappi. And just because I live in Chula Vista doesn't mean it's from around here, I have railfanned all over the west.[;)]
