All the track between Mc Cloud east has been torn up unfortunately. We were out there in late '08 and took a last ride on the weekend, we were on track that had been unbolted, but not yet torn up. There was machinery at either end, and I assume it was all gone a week after we were there.

Oh, well.

Everything east of McCloud is being turned into a rails-to-trails. All the track and ties have been pulled and some grading has been done to turn it over to a trail. You can drive most of it although some stretches are blocked by boulders.
