Have Lost Title and Author of Story

[richs203]

Was reading and enjoying a story very much, then I quit reading it for other work, now I can't remember the title or author.

The story was about a Sun flair that disrupted all of the electrical service throughout the world.  A group of people are trying to get away from gangs stealing food and supplies, get to a Train museum and get an old train that does not have electrical parts. They get the train engine to work.  They start from South California and try to get up to Northern California via the train tracks into  mountains away from everyone and want to start over building a new town. This was a good story, and I have gone through the authors trying to find the writer and also through the stories and have found nothing.  If you would help me to find the story I will appreciate it much.

I'm sorry, but I can't help on this one, @richs203. Your description rings no bells for me whatsoever.

If you can remember same names and places and unusual words that might help a Google search

Are you sure it was on GA?

Good point - I don't recall reading a story like that here. I'd like to add that searching for sun flare is probably more effective than sun flair.   Though it didn't yield any results on GA, when I tried searching Stories.
