Dunsmuir's Railroad Heritage




The Dunsmuir Railroad Display Room, ajacent to the Amtrak Depot, is open to the public the third Saturday monthly from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Featured are locomotive photographs, memorabilia and artifacts. Mr. Jamie Carlberg's diorama of Dunsmuir's Round-house is on display. On July 18th, the Dunsmuir Railroad Depot Historical Society will draw winners of two Amtrak donated Coast Starlight tickets and two quilts. Winners need not be present to win. The recent PIE SOCIAL by the Depot Society was a successful fund-raiser. Forty-seven pies were made by Dunsmuir and Mount Shasta pie-makers; the event was sold out! Funds raised continue funding the maintenance of the Depot (the only Siskiyou County stop), the Railroad Display Room, and the renovation of rooms to house the Dunsmuir Museum.
