STAGE-1
The west branch of the UPRR used to go thru what is now Shasta Lake, created by the waters of the Pit, McCloud and Sacramento Rivers.
Pre 1944, -the line is owned by Southern Pacific Railroad. The track heads west out of Redding, along the Sacramento river. In 1944-1948 Shasta Dam was built, so SPRR was rerouted north out of Redding, Calif.
Post 1948, -the line winds north from Redding to Moutain Gate.
This area of the layout will be two distinct areas, one from the 1940's, the other after the 1940's.
1 -  THE 1940'S ERA (Steam)
2 -  Present Day (Amtrak)
STAGE-2 The line leaves Mountain Gate and crosses Lake Shasta.
STAGE-3 North of Lake Shasta to Castle Crags
STAGE-4 From Castle Crags to Dunsmuir.
