Skunk at Willits: California Western's Enchanting Ride
A vivid tour of the California Western line from Fort Bragg to Willits aboard the "Skunk" narrates the scenic cliff-edge trestles, forest curves, and riverbank stretches. Conductor Galiani shares encounters with deer, wildlife, and a chilling boxcar corpse twist that ends with a red pig found beside the deceased. The piece laments possible future ghost railroads if logging ends the line.
