Yes, this is the infamous Bohemian Grove, where the well-connected US aristocracy (including Supreme Court Justice(s) have been known to visit. The camp is over 600 acres, with protected old growth Redwoods. At least it’s good for something.

The railway right of way, migrates to a path following the Russian River for a few hundred yards, then ends at a permeable well posted blockade. The property on the other side is owned by the Bohemian Grove.

Photos of the remaining right of way for what used to be the Northwestern Pacific Railway heading east from Monte Rio. The hill adjacent to this is owned by the now infamous Bohemian Grove.

Today I explored the old Northwestern Pacific Railway just outside of Monte Rio. I followed it up to where it crossed the Russian River. My historical map is fully accurate, as I could also see where it crossed the river.

Seems like there is a side spur that heads south. Requires more investigation. Photos next.
