HISTORY

SNAPSHOT

New railroad seems assured

 The construction of competitive rail lines into Klamath Falls and out to some California seaport seems to be somewhat assured.

 Ralph Budd, president of the Great Northern railway, is quoted as saying that his company is considering an extension from Bend here and says further something on the survey south to Marysville, Calif.

 One of the Hill surveys was from Klamath Falls through the Tule Lake country and down the Pit River to connect with the Southern Pacific near Redding. But another survey, and one more likely to be used now, carried the line east and south of Mt. Lassen going down Deer Creek canyon into the Sacramento valley near Chico. This route offers a low pass and taps some heavy timber belts.

 The extension of a line down the Klamath River to Crescent City, thence south to San Francisco Bay is more probable now that a first Great Northern line over the Modoc Northern Route because that survey and much of the right-of-way belongs to the Southern Pacific and that company will construct a line that way before allowing any other company to get that territory.
