This view looks north, the platform in the center marks where the depot used to stand. The beginning of the Siskiyous are in the distance. |
View looking south. |
Not far from Granada is Montague.
This is the interchange point with the Yreka Western, a shortline that
runs
about 7 miles from Yreka to Montague.
This is where the loads from Yreka are picked up by the
Central Oregon and Pacific, and
hauled off (south) to Black Butte, to be picked up by Union Pacific.
Downtown Montague. Blink and you'll
miss it!
The depot was moved across the
street and it looks like a restoration is in progress.
Complete with their own semaphore!

After Montague, I headed north on
Ager Road for a good 12 miles, turned left on
Ager-Beswick road and what did
I find?...

My first wigwag on the CORP line!
Very timeless scene here, old wood
bridge, crossbuck, and of course...the wigwag.
Very typical scene on the Espee
not too many years ago. Looks like that bridge once supported
two tracks, perhaps a siding was
removed some time ago.
For more on this location, go to
my wigwag
site. Several photos are featured including
a CORP train going through this
crossing, captured by Ted Weldon.
Hornbrook, California. This is
a true one horse town!
Looking north, Siskiyous getting
closer.
Central Hornbrook! |
Hornbrook "yard". Looking south, Black Mountain looms in background. |

After this, it was time to get back
on I-5. Running late for planned rendezvous with Larry Tuttle!
