Road Trip to the Pacific Northwest
7/06/2025
Carson City, NV to Yreka, CA
2nd stop
Williams Loop, Quincy, CA
► Leaving Truckee, CA, on our way to Mt. Lassen NP, we stopped at the Williams Loop, near the town of Quincy, CA on US-89. This is a train "loop" used to gain altitude in a short distance, keeping the grade to a minimum. This is similar to the Tehachapi Loop between Bakersfield, CA and Mojave, CA.
► Unfortunately, there were no trains today, BUT Geri and I did walk the entire loop, just for the fun of it!

4th stop
''Stand by Me'' Bridge, CA
► Near Burney Falls, CA (which was so crowded the cars were lined up on the highway to get in) we stopped at the railroad bridge that was used in the film "Stand By Me". If you've seen the film, you'll definitely remember the scene with the train and the bridge.
