[pct-l] Castella resupply

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

And, it's probably less dangerous to walk that short distance on the  
Interstate than to walk the RR tracks. Maybe, maybe not. I already  
mentioned that I walked the tracks to Dunsmuir. I saw a train go by  
before I started walking the tracks, but while I was walking them,  
there were a few spots that made me quite nervous and I either  
quickened my pace or I made mental notes of how I would manage  
bailing over the edge or both. I think I was almost as nervous about  
getting caught as I was about getting trapped in a tight spot.  
Fortunately I saw no trains during my traverse of the tracks.
