NorCal Explorer to circle Almanor area
A rare excursion train,
the Northern California
Explorer, will head out
Friday, June 3, for a great
loop journey through some of
the most awesome terrain
California has to offer.
This three-day, two-night
railroad experience is an
exceptional opportunity for
absorbing California railroad
history as well as for seeing
first-hand Northern Cali-
fornia's majestic wonders of
nature and geology.
Use of the excursion train
has been requested by several
rail related organizations for
several years, but owner
BNSF Railway has turned
down each request. Now,
after many requests, the BNSF
has finally decided to allow the
nonprofit Central Coast Rail-
way Club from Santa Clara to
run the train one time only.
It has been over 50 years
since a public excursion
train has operated on the
Plumas County area Highline
section of this route between
Keddie and Bieber. This
Highline section's historical
importance makes the trip all
the more special.
Departing from Emeryville
at 2 p.m. for Oroville, the first
leg of the trip, the train will
stop to pick up passengers at
Richmond, Martinez, Davis
and Sacramento. On the
first night of the excursion,
passengers will be lodged in
local hotels and motels of the
Oroville and Chico areas.
The Northern California
Explorer will depart the next
day, Saturday, June 4, from
Oroville at 9 a.m., climbing
eastbound into the Feather
River Canyon and High
Sierra on an incredible day's
journey to Klamath Falls.
The morning light will allow
wonderful views of Lake
Oroville. Sights along the
Feather River Canyon up to
Keddie should be marvelous,
as the heavy snowmelt has
filled the Feather River and
all of the canyon reservoirs.
Highlights of Saturday's
journey will include: spectac-
ular views of Lake Almanor
and Lassen Peak as the rails
run along a ledge overlooking
the lake and volcano; remote
regions of dense and rarely
seen forests; views from a
natural rock shelf almost
a thousand feet above the
Pit River; and breathtaking
views of Mount Shasta, Lava
Beds National Monument
and the Tule Lake Wildlife
Refuge, where many birds
and water fowl should be in
view.
Saturday night, passengers
will stay in local Klamath
Falls lodgings and rise early
for an 8 a.m. departure. Sun-
day, June 5, the Northern
California Explorer departs
Klamath Falls to travel south
for views of the massive
14,162-foot Mount Shasta,
best seen from the dome cars.
After passing Black Butte
and the city of Mount Shasta,
the train winds down into the
Sacramento River Canyon
for its return to Chico, sched-
uled for 2 p.m., with passen-
ger stops at Sacramento,
Davis, Martinez and Rich-
mond before arrival back in
Emeryville at 6:30 p.m.
Folks who wish to ride the
Northern California Explorer
excursion train should make
their reservations soon.
There are a variety of prices
being offered on several
different private rail cars in-
cluding dome cars, lounge
cars and coaches.
Round-trip from Emery-
ville to Klamath Falls is $448
in coach. A special Oroville
package, priced at $398, is
being offered for passengers
that would like to join the
excursion on Saturday.
That package includes
parking at the Chico Amtrak
Station, where a charter bus
will transfer Excursion
passengers to the Oroville
train station for the 9 a.m.
boarding. For a full range
of prices and availability,

In slightly more than 30
days the window of opportu-
nity for artisans and crafters
to display their wares in the
39th annual Fourth of July
Chester Art and Craft Show
will close.
The final date for the
acceptance of participant
applications is May 1.
Sponsored by the Chester
Lions Club, the show is held
each year in the Chester Park.
While the show date seems
a bit off in the future for
most, it isn't for the Chester
Lions Club event coordina-
tors Carol Deurloo and Rita
Isbell.
"As this is a juried show,
I would highly encourage in-
terested artisans and crafters
to submit their application
packets as soon as possible,"
said Deurloo.
She said time was impor-
tant because the application
packets are extensive.
Participants are required
to submit photographs of
their work and other detailed
information.
"We really want to make
sure everyone understands
they have just over a month
until the application dead-
line."
Applications are still
available at the Lassen Gift
Company and the Chester-
Lake Almanor Chamber
of Commerce.
"For this event, completed
applications must be received
at P.O. Box 467, Chester, CA
96020 by May 1," said Lions
Club member and treasurer
Jack Isbell.
He also said applications
date-stamped May 1 but re-
ceived after that date would
not be accepted for processing.
For more information
about the 39th annual
Chester Art and Craft Show,
call Deurloo at 259-5851.
