Railroad Foamer Country

Railroad Foamers will love Tehama County! The Union Pacific Main Line between L.A. and Seattle passes right through the County. The hamlet of Gerber was an important Southern Pacific locomotive change-off point. http://www.colusi.org/linked/html/Highlights/gerber.htm The famous South Shasta Model Railroad also lives in the Gerber area. http://www.steamtraction.com/archive/1288/

When you are passing through our County tune your VHF radio scanner to 161.310 MHZ and hear Union Pacific Dispatcher 64, who from Omaha, Nebraska supervises the TRAINS passing through the County! You'll be able to listen to the engineers and conductors getting track clearance from Omaha. There must be about 40 or 50 trains a day moving important freight and two Amtrak passenger trains a day too.

Rancho Tehama has the largest private airstrip in Northern California, a recreation hall, a Little League park, abundant wildlife, and two independent fire stations.

The Old Timers Fire Fighters Inc. non-profit corporation, run by 16 volunteers, responds to fires faster than even county firefighters can by keeping fire trucks parked all over town.
