Biographical / Historical
¶The California Northeastern Railway, incorporated July 6, 1905, was controlled by the Southern Pacific Company, and sold
December 18, 1911, to the Oregon Eastern. It owned on date of sale 86.10 miles of track between Weed, California and Klamath
Falls, Oregon, built during the period September, 1906, to May, 1909, of which the twenty-two miles from Weed to Grass Lake
had been acquired through reconstruction in 1905 and 1906 of a logging road purchased July 29, 1905, from the Weed Lumber
Company, originally built in period 1903-1905. The additional sixty-four miles of CNE from Grass Lake to Klamath Falls were
built in 1907, 1908 and 1909. [Guy Dunscomb, A CENTURY OF SOUTHERN PACIFIC STEAM LOCOMOTIVES, 1862-1962 (Modesto, California:
