The section has been completely reorganized into each segment of the common carrier as they were built, with new maps showing line changes. Recorded structure and facilities owned by the railroads have been listed for each station. Numerous new pages and photos have been added, and many images from the early days of McCloud Rails have been rescanned or replaced by better photos.

July 5, 2020	One of my long term goals with this site has been to gradually work through some of the older pages to rescan some of the original images from when I first created McCloud Rails back in 2003 and otherwise correct or update information. I have been gradually doing that in the Locomotive Roster section, and today's update includes a complete renovation of the Passenger Operations section, with several new pages and updates to information or photos on nearly every other page. I've also done some photo replacing and/or other updates on a few other pages. The next sections I plan to overhaul are Along The Line and Equipment Roster.

October 9, 2018	In early 2003 a desire to chronicle the history of railroading in McCloud, California, prompted me to start the McCloud Rails site on Trainweb. In 2005, Craig Nolan launched a site of his own at this domain. Our two sites coexisted for many years. Recently, Craig decided to move on to other pursuits, and he offered the domain name to me. I decided to move McCloud Rails over to this domain, which has become effective today. I've reset the Updates sections to reflect only changes made to the site after this date. The old McCloud Rails site will stay up, but all future updates and improvements will be done on this site for as long as I decide to keep the domain active.
