OFF THE MAP
The old depot at Castle Crag was torn down recently and was shipped
through here Friday to some southern station, says the Red Bluff Cause.
This removes the last vestige of that once famous summer resort, Castle
Crag, which was built by the Southern Pacific Company. Sometime ago the
old freight depot at that place was removed to Castella. There is
nothing now to show where Castle Crag ever stood and the place will
probably never by revived.
