Historic Railway Found
An old rail route between Loomis and Folsom that was only used for 2 years has been discovered and re-created, thanks to GPS satellite navigation. The route was in place between 1860 and 1862; it was originally intended to go all the way to Auburn but ran out of money. The occasional railroad tie are the only remnants of this old route. Full details in this week's Telegraph.Labels: railroads

Vandals Target Ms. Teaz
In what can only be described as an immature incident from a Folsom resident, the owners of Ms. Teaz were shocked to see their car "keyed" after getting custom Ms Teaz license plates and parking near the Chamber of Commerce. The owners also report questionable ethics from the Chamber with outside businesses. Read and respond to it on the message boards.

Nimbus Dam Alarms Residents
Nimbus Dam recently installed a new automated alarm on the facility, so people down the American River will know that an influx of water is coming. The new alarm was used for the first time at 4:30 am on Tuesday. Though an alarm in the middle of the night is rare, it still is necessary sometimes to keep the public safe.
