The Modoc Northern Railroad {{reporting mark|MNRR}} is a defunct railroad company that operated over {{convert|160|mi}} of track in northeastern California and southern Oregon and was based in Tulelake, California. The railroad connected Klamath Falls to Alturas, California, and Lakeview, Oregon, to Alturas, California. The railroad shipped mostly timber products and some perlite from the mine and mill near Lakeview.http://www.modocnorthern.com/ {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080512092450/http://www.modocnorthern.com/ |date=May 12, 2008 }}
The rails used by the Modoc Northern were first laid out in June 1927 by a non-operating subsidiary of the Southern Pacific Company with the same name.{{cite web |url=http://www.modocnorthern.com/about.htm |title= 男人扒开女人下面狂躁小视频,亚洲Av鲁丝一区二区三区黄,老头把我添高潮了A片,国产精品成人Av片免费看|website=www.modocnorthern.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080708222354/http://www.modocnorthern.com/about.htm |archive-date=July 8, 2008}} On November 1, 2005, Union Pacific Railroad leased the Modoc line, connecting Klamath Falls to Alturas, to the MNRR for five years. By request of the Lake County, Oregon, commissioners, the MNRR also took over operation of the Lake County Railway, connecting Alturas to Lakeview, in 2006. UP cancelled the lease on May 5, 2009, and a new operator has assumed control of the Lake County Railroad.{{cite web| url=http://www.craigsrailroadpages.com/modocnorthern/| title=Salute to the Modoc Northern Railroad| author=Craig Bass| date=2011| access-date=December 15, 2011}}{{cite web| url=https://www.co.lake.or.us/Minutes%20-%20Commissioner/2010/BOC%2010.20.2010.pdf| title=Meeting Minutes| author=Denise Thorsted| publisher=Lake County, Oregon, Board of Commissioners| date=October 20, 2010| access-date=December 15, 2011| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120426052250/https://www.co.lake.or.us/Minutes%20-%20Commissioner/2010/BOC%2010.20.2010.pdf| archive-date=April 26, 2012| url-status=dead}}
