Both the prison and the landfill are dead. I think access to the townsite is restricted.

I just shot some photos of the Ferrum end the line (http://www.socalrailfan.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4279). It's a fascinating story. I'm thinking about hiking into the bridge about a mile north of ferrum.

Great info KC (although sad to hear). It appears that the landfill has been approved since 1992 but hasn't happened yet. Hopefully I have time to get out there before yet another remote location is spoiled. Thanks for the link, and the kind words about my blog.

Stumbled upon your site while learning the ways of SmugMug/Blog integration. Yours is especially nice. Job well done!

Regarding your Eagle Mountain Rail photos...very beautiful. As an aside, did you know that the Eagle Mountain Mine will likely be the home of a regional rail served mega landfill in the not too distant future? It's a very well-planned facility, but 20,000 tons of garbage per day will turn just about any landscape into an eyesore. Might want to make that trip to the town sooner rather than later!

Hope that doesn't put too much of a damper on your day. Again, I've really enjoyed your blog :)
