Southern Pacific #109 “Shasta” Arrives

Today we took delivery of our sixth railcar, Southern Pacific #109, the “Shasta”, a historic 1888 wooden business car based in Dunsmuir in the early 1900s. The car was donated to the BBCRC by the California State Railroad Museum. Thanks to Carlton Crane, LH Trucking, Benson Roofing, Union Pacific, Solano’s Building Supply, Swenson Excavating, Pacific Coast Chapter of the Railway and Locomotive Historical Society, and the Southern Pacific Historical and Technical Society as well as all the individual volunteers who came together to make this happen! The Weed Press covered the story of the car’s move to Black Butte.
