QUINCY RAILROAD (CA)

The 'Quincy Railroad' is a 3.27-mile switching and terminal railroad located at Quincy, California. The QRR interchanges with the Union Pacific (former Western Pacific) at Quincy Junction in Plumas County, California.
It also has a separate 23.3 mile branch running over former Southern Pacific branch from Wendel-Susanville, California which is now likely abandoned. The railroad handles 1,000 cars per year of outbound lumber and forest products. The QRR is owned by Sierra Pacific Industries.
The QRR has one locomotive, #5 that is an EMD SW1200 built in November 1950 (Builder No. 13459). The QRR's ALCO S-1[1] and GE 44-ton switcher[2] are now located at the nearby Western Pacific Railroad Museum.
