Northern Cal

 My brother Jim took me on a little tour of the North State beginning

with the little town of Hornbrook. It's a former major stop for the

Southern Pacific Railroad before the Siskiyou Summit.

As with most rural areas there are some interesting uses of materials.

Before the advent of automatic crossing guards men would stay safe from the

weather in one of these waiting to stop traffic from an approaching train.

I'm sure without automatic crossing guards or someone

controlling the crossing this would work to stop the train.

Four dams were removed from the Klamath River. Restoration

work is continuing, but for the time being the former reservoirs look 

like this. It's recently been reported that a few salmon have returned.
