A special train departed the Western Pacific RR museum (Portola, CA) on Tuesday and because of the unique consist, I loaded up my sons and headed up the Feather River Route to intercept. Its destination for the day was Roseville where it would spend the night before heading to the annual Dunsmuir Railroad Days happening this weekend. Our first sighting was a James which is on the western edge of the FR canyon and it descends down into Oroville and the valley through Marysville and then to Roseville. Follow along on our 100+ mile chase.
