In response to the decision of the Southern Pacific Company to bypass Yreka and run its mainline through Shasta Valley, the Yreka Railroad was built and commenced operations January 9, 1889.
In 1933 the railroad was incorporated as the Yreka Western Railroad. 1935 brought hard times which were overcome under the direction of O.G. Steele.
In 1986 the City of Yreka commenced the summer excursion train known as the Blue Goose and today Yreka Western continues to operate as a working railroad after over 100 years of service.
