The Feather River Route is a rail line that was built and operated by the Western Pacific Railroad.

The Feather River Route is a rail line that was built and operated by the Western Pacific Railroad. It was constructed between 1906 and 1909, and connects the cities of Oakland, California, and Salt Lake City, Utah. The line was built to compete with the Central Pacific Railroad (and later Southern Pacific Railroad), which at the time held a nearly complete monopoly on Northern California rail service. The route derives its name from its crossing of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, where it follows both the North and Middle Forks of the Feather River. The route is famous for its impressive engineering qualities and its considerable scenic value. The route is now owned and fully used by the Union Pacific Railroad, however the Union Pacific considers the east end of the line at Winnemucca, Nevada, having transferred the portion east of there to other routes.
