On March 18, 2023, the 15-inch gauge Hillcrest and Wahtoke Railroad in Reedley, CA had the golden spike ceremony of its new Wahtoke Division. This new extension adds a new trestle, tunnel, loop, and steep grade to their railroad. Visiting equipment from Redwood Valley Railway in Berkeley, CA was also part of the event as well. As part of the festivities, we rode one of the first passenger trains over the entirety of the new extension.
