My name is John Barnhill. I run a site called Foothill Rails which covers the Michigan-California Lumber Co, Diamond & Caldor, and El Dorado Lime & Mineral narrow guage roads as well as a few standard guagers all located near my lifetime home of Auburn,CA. My site also has many many loco rosters for just about any Northern California shortline. Many of these are narrow guage. Come by and visit sometime at http://www.trainweb.org/foothill .
I look forward to discussing non Colorado narrow guage roads with the rest of you. Anything in Northern California is of my interest from Diamond Match to Hobart Estates to of course the venerated West Side. Even stuff like Camino Cable & Northern or WS & CV.
I don't claim to be an expert on any of this stuff so I am definately looking forward to learning more.
