McCloud Rails : Itel Photo Freight
|
|
|
|
Shortly after the McCloud River Railroad leased 400 new boxcars from owner Itel in 1977 the parent company had the railroad run a special freight with the new boxcars out to Burney and back. The company hired a professional photographer to take photos of the train at points along the way. These photos are presented here courtesy of Travis Berryman. |

On the return trip to McCloud the train stopped on the fill at Nebraska Curve for some more photos. |

Another view of the train on Nebraska Curve. Tree growth in the years since makes the photo impossible to duplicate today. |
