The LCRR derailed a few cars in Alturas and my dad sent me these pics.
Stupid Question, but where is the Lake Co. RR located at, Chad?
The Lake County railroad is located in the Alturas area of far northeastern California.
Here is a Wikipedia thumbnail description of this shortline railroad:

Not a stupid question, It is pretty obscure.
The Lake Co. RR runs between Lakeview,Or. and Alturas Ca. on what was originaly the north end of the Nevada California and Oregon narrow guage railroad. In Alturas it connects with the historic Modoc line that has just been taken over from Alturas to Klamath Falls by the new Modoc Northern (the rest of the Modoc was ripped out by A&K 2 years ago).
Here is Jeff Moore’s Lake Co. website:

It looks like they’re not just ON the ground, they’re IN it…
