One of my favorite locations on the Cascade Line is at Fields, high above the Salt Creek Valley. Nice light all day, good views in both directions and vistas of the mountains across the valley.

The top of the line is along the shore of Odell Lake at Cascade Summit. This was a favorite company publicity location back in SP days.

Another favorite location is Mowich. A siding, nice signal bridge, and view of Diamond Peak.

In the October 2002, the McCloud River Railroad ran a series of fall color excursions out of McCloud, California. The lack of snow on towering Mt. Shasta testifies to the lateness of the season and the dryness of the year.
