Summary: 
The Shasta Land Trust announced Friday, March 30, that an agreement to purchase the railroad right-of-way between McCloud and Burney has been signed. This agreement will pave the way for the planning and development of 80 miles of rail-trail connecting the two communities and providing access to a number of nearby attractions. The trail will preserve an historic and scenic railroad corridor and protect the surrounding natural environment, aquatic wildlife, and habitat.

Shasta Land Trust (SLT), representing a coalition of Northern California nonprofit organizations including McCloud Local First Network, signed an agreement to purchase a railroad right-of-way between McCloud (in Siskiyou County) and Burney (in Shasta County), a property known as the McCloud Railway. The agreement, signed by SLT and the property’s owner, 4 Rails, Inc, will ultimately lead to establishment of a public “rail-trail” on the property and is an important milestone following many years of efforts by several local non-profit organizations and 4 Rails.
