P.O. Box 860 On the cover: The focus of our attention this month is the legendary Western Pacific Railroad and its Homewood, Illinois 60430 low-level crossing of the Sierra Nevada via Beckwourth Pass (EI. 5212 feet) and the canyon of the Feather River. Synonomous with both the Western Pacific and el Rio de las Plumas, the equally famous California Zephyr carried WP's banner faithfully between Oakland, Calif., and Salt Lake City, Utah, for 21 years. Senior Editor Mike Schafer recorded this breathtaking view of three-hour -late No. 17 heading down the canyon at Pulga, Calif., in July 1969, less than a year before its premature discontinuance.

  • About Plumas County
    ABOUT PLUMAS COUNTY The area we presently call Plumas County (and lands adjoining it) was originally the home of the Maidu Indian tribe. The region’s abundant supply of game, fish, berries and seeds provided subsistence for these indigenous residents for several thousand years prior to the western migration of settlers. In 1821 Spanish explorer Luis Arguello arrived along the lower portion of the region’s main watershed (probably near it’s confluence with the Sacramento River). Arguello is credited with naming the river El Rio de las Plumas (The Feather River) after seeing what he thought were feathers floating in the water. Historians believe, however, that Arguello did not ever set foot in what is now Plumas County. In the 1850’s rumors of a fabled “Gold Lake” in the northeastern Sierras began circulating among the miners who had poured into California following the discovery of gold at Sutter’s mill. The upper reaches of the Feather River watershed were soon swarmed over by gold seekers who quickly displaced native Maidu residents in their quest for riches. Along with the miners came other settlers including a large Chinese population that remained in the region until the early 1900s. One of the early gold seekers, James Beckwourth, discovered the lowest pass through the Sierras (north of Reno, Nevada) at a point that now bears the name, Beckwourth Pass. The pass was opened to wagon travel via a toll road in 1851. More hospitable (due to its lower elevation) than the infamous Donner Pass, it made westward travel for new settlers safer and easier.

  • Western Winter " Railroading HALF a WORLD
    April 1986 No. 269 Western Winter " Railroading HALF A WORLD ... HALF A CENTURY Pennsylvania's anthracite coal country and Mainland China have little in common ... and a lot.Yesterday lived the third-rail Lackawanna & Wyoming Valley Railroad- a remarkable Keystone State interurban. Today, China is building new railroads, emphasizing both electrification and new steam power. Now, Interurban Press and Trans-Anglo Books take you trackside to see how it was, is-and will be. THE LAUREL LINE was an interurban with a difference. It was at once an electrified, heavy-duty coal-hauling railroad and an important passenger carrier linking Scranton and Wilkes-Barre. It lasted well into the 1950s, but was seldom prosperous. It never modernized, but its heavy cars were classics. Its management was reactionary but resourceful, and its passengers complained-but stayed loyal almost to the end. Authors Muncie and Henwood really did their homework on the L&WV, and the result is a definitive history, rich in the telling and complete to the last detail. And there's a wealth of rare photos spanning the Laurel Line's entire history from construction to dismemberment. THE LAUREL LINE-An Anthracite Region Railway By JAMES N.J. HENWOOD and JOHN G. MUNCIE 208 pages, 247 illus., maps, rosters, 8'hx11" hardbound with color jacket painting. ISBN 0-916374-72-6.

Her railways are surprisingly like ours; her ubiquitous ribbed-metal passenger cars could have come right off the Milwaukee Road! Forbidden no longer, China offers the 1986 railfan a dazzling choice of steam, electrics, U.s.-built diesels, old and new trackage and scenery spectaculars beyond imagining.

Always check the coupler heights with either our #205 or newer #206 Coupler Height Gauge. This coupler conversion list is our suggested starting coupler for the conversion. (Typically requiring the least modification to a model utilizing our newest couplers even though other couplers also work for the model). Our conversion’s based on only one model from a production run, there may be inconsistencies in a model’s production run that require a different coupler or model modifications to achieve the proper coupler height for coupler function.
