[edit] Removed viola player

I searched around, but the only reference online I could find to Matthew Readdick online (apart from the Wikipedia articles) was from this site, "sheetmusicplus.com":

Customer rating Goblin Dance Matthew Readdick of Folsom,CA writes... "Goblin Dance is a very cool song with viola melody. Get this"

So I'm going to go out on a limb & say he's not world-famous.--Diogenes00 01:31, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Railroad abandonment date

I have not corrected the error in the date of abandonment because I do not have the precise information. Perhaps the author meant that passenger service ceased in the 1950s. There was still freight service to Folsom when we moved here in 1986 and for some time thereafter. In the Placerville article, it mentions that the Camino, Placerville and Lake Tahoe Railroad operated until June of 1986. It connected to the Southern Pacific branch line that ran through Folsom, so that line would have been operational in 1986. Jim 00:00, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
