"The Southern Pacific's Modoc Line was built for the sole purpose of providing a shortcut for the forest products moving from the lush forests of Oregon to mid-western and eastern markets by way of Ogden, Utah. this remote and virtually unknown line cut across the high desert country of Northeastern California from Klamath Falls, Oregon to Fernley, Nevada, crossing four major summits with a 140 mile helper district. As many as four articulated locomotives in a single train were commonplace. This was mountain railroading at its very best."
